The canyoning trip last friday with Kayacorde Ardèche Outdoor was an incredible experience! We did not do this before but would love to do this again. Our guide Jacques was really helpful and professional. He made sure we were able to do canyoning since at first there were no spots left and we were late with reservations and therefore he created a new small group! The surroundings were beautiful and the jumps and slides were adventurous and the guide made us feel very secure. And if you wanted to skip a jump, it was no problem. We would definitely recommend this when visiting this area.
