How to find us ?

F.A.Q. for a canoe trip:

Is the canoeing activity accessible to all ?

Yes, as long as you know how to swim more than 25 meters and immerse yourself. If the parents are beginners we recommend a small course. Children must be at least 6 years old and be able to swim without assistance, even if accompanied by an adult.
The courses are accessible to beginners, we advise you to start on a 9 km course at first to take your marks with the activity.
We provide you with a lifejacket to wear throughout the course, it is mandatory.
For people with reduced mobility, the activity is accessible to reckless people with an aptitude for sports activities. The person must be able to swim alone and return to the shore in case the boat turns around. Attention, we are in a natural environment, the points of embarkation and disembarkation can be accidental and make access difficult.

For beginners, which course(s) do you recommend ?

The «Minis» courses of 9 km in class 1 (Vayrac-Gluges, Saint-Sozy-Pinsac) are the shortest, so they are the most suitable for younger people or for people who wish to combine several activities in the same day.
The 9 km course in class 2 (Monceaux-Brivezac) is not more complicated, the water is a little brighter and cooler since it comes out of the dams upstream.
The 18 km «Classic» courses in class 1 (Vayrac-Saint-Sozy, Saint-Sozy-Souillac) are not technically more difficult than those of 1h30 but they are simply longer.

Can we bring our dog ?

We advise against it for their safety. Boarding can stress your pet and the heat can be overwhelming. A reversal can happen…… However, if you insist, your dog can occupy the middle place in a canoe as long as you don’t tie it up and be very vigilant.
You will be asked to keep it on a leash on the Leisure Base.
For the bus shuttle: it may be refused by the driver if he is aggressive or if the comfort and safety of other passengers are disturbed.
The leash will disappear during navigation.…. An additional 5€ per dog will be required.
We don’t have a lifejacket for your companions.

Is the reservation mandatory ?

The reservation for a day or half-day trip is not mandatory, but strongly recommended in high season. The availability of equipment cannot be guaranteed to people without a reservation, especially on sunny days!
For multi-day touring tours, the reservation is mandatory in order to block the equipment and reserve the seats on the bus, via the booking platform.

How does the shuttle work ?

The shuttle is part of your service.
If you plan to leave your vehicle at the point of arrival, the shuttle will pick you up in the morning (ask about available times) at the parking point. Booking required.
If you choose to leave your car at the starting point, the shuttle will pick you up at the end of the ride. The time chosen will be noted on your rental agreement.

Can we park on the spot ?

Large free car parks are at your disposal to allow you to leave your vehicle at the different bases. These parking lots are private but not supervised.

How to dress up ?

In summer, a bathing suit, shorts, T-shirt and caps are enough.
In the spring and fall, you have to have a windbreaker, warm clothes to put on during stops. Provide dry clothing to change on arrival.
In all cases, the wearing of closed shoes such as water shoes or sneakers is necessary to walk in the water. Glasses should ideally be strapped with a cord.
Don’t take any valuables you don’t need and risk losing in the river.

Can we take breaks during the descent ?

Canoeing 100% fun, take the time! A break is in order! Go down at your own pace, swim, ricochet and picnic on the pebble beaches…… keeping an eye on the shuttle schedule. The time of your bus is noted on your contract, plan to arrive 15 minutes before the chosen time.

Can we bring a picnic for our canoe day ?

Of course, you can bring your picnic and take a break along the way wherever you want. Don’t forget to take water to hydrate yourself.
Nature is beautiful, let’s respect it. Bring back your waste…

We loved it. Super friendly and helpful staff, well organized and good price. We did the 1.5hr trip, but we did many stops to swim and enjoy the surroundings, … More so we stayed like 5 hrs. Highly recommended.

We did a two day, one night trip with Safaraid. They were very responsive in helping us to organize this trip. Friendly staff, good equipment, nice camp … More sites long the way. Would come back for a longer canoe trip next time!
