After fuelling up on breakfast at your hotel, you'll venture once again into the Verdon Gorge, today to try your hands (and feet) at rock climbing! The gorge provides a great number of rock faces, particularly for new inexperienced climbers, so you will be in safe hands. Once you climb the rock face, you'll descend back to the ground via abseil and monkey bridges. You'll return to the hotel in the early afternoon to relax after a fun-filled day.

Today, you'll head towards the charming and quaint city of Castellane which is the starting point for your river rafting adventure through the Verdon Gorge. Travelling over 14 kilometres and navigating the rapids, twists and turn is no better way to grasp the scale of this canyon whilst having a great time and taking in the beautiful scenery. After you've come to the end of your activity, you'll drive back to your hotel where you can relax and refuel with a delicious dinner.
