Activity description
Rent your own canoe kayak and take a 10km trip down the Var at your own pace!
For an introduction to white water sports near Nice, there's nothing better than canoeing on the Var! Halfway between the Mediterranean and the Alps, you'll have the chance to climb aboard a canoe or kayak at Villars-sur-Var for this 10km descent in total autonomy. For around 2 hours, you'll be free to paddle down the river at your own pace, taking in some superb scenery thanks to canoe and kayak rental on the Var!
After a welcome at the Azur Canoë Kayak Rafting base, you'll be given your canoeing equipment (lifejackets, helmets and paddles) and driven 10 km upstream. From there, you'll paddle at your own pace down the river to the base, where your car will be waiting.
In the Var, there is one small rapid after another, without being too difficult and leaving you flat. You'll always be on the move and enjoy a thrilling, sporty descent! Don't forget to take a refreshing dip in the countryside on your way down! You can also bring your own picnic lunch to the base, where the team will keep it cool for you to enjoy on the beach before or after your canoe trip down the Var.
If you fancy a change of scenery during your stay in Nice, come and rent a canoe kayak on the Var!
