The Adventure route is Canoë Montana’s flagship descent: 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) down the Hérault River for a full day of thrills on the rapids and moments of contemplation in the heart of untouched nature, located about 1 hour from Montpellier.
The meeting point is directly at the Canoë Montana base in Agonès (large free parking area), 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Once on site, you can use the changing rooms and bathrooms, then collect your equipment: canoe, paddle, life jacket, helmet, and storage container. A shuttle bus will then take you to the starting point, and the team will give you a safety briefing before you board.
The descent begins in Ganges and immediately immerses you in the unique atmosphere of the Herault Gorges. As you make your way down the river, you’ll pass the beautiful medieval village of Laroque, cross a suspension bridge, and navigate a series of rapids, some more challenging than others. Beaches are dotted along the route: the perfect opportunity to take a break, go for a swim, and have a picnic by the water.
Upon arrival, a shuttle (last departure at 6:00 pm) will take you back to the base, where your vehicle will be waiting for you. To round off the day: showers, changing rooms, a shaded terrace, and, during high season (July–August), an on-site bar and restaurant.
