The aquatic trekking was a very fun, exhilarating, and beautiful way to experience the gorges du verdon! You can't get as close if you're simply on foot. You spend most of the time in the water, which is really nice when Europe is experiencing a heat wave! We went down a few rapids and there were also opportunities to jump into the water from higher points, but only if you want.
