J'ai été ravi de la qualité de l'organisation et du sérieux de notre accompagnant. Un petit groupe de 7 bien sympa, tout a long de la journée. Cool et frais...sans avoir froid ! 😀

Très bonne première expérience en canyoning dans les gorges du loup , idéal pour débuter, les derniers sauts sont assez hauts mais pas obligatoires. Notre guide Jérôme était au top

We had a great time canyoning with the family and I enjoyed some good climbs with my sons. They were flexible and Olivier was helpful and responded really fast.

Level 2 canyoning gedaan. Leuk, gevarieerd parcour met 2x abseilen, vele sprongen en glijbanen. Prachtige natuur. Georges is een topgids die goed op de veiligheid let en duidelijke instructies geeft. Ook de communicatie met Olivier vooraf bij het boeken is perfect. Er worden geen foto's gemaakt tijdens de canyoning, dat had wel leuk geweest.

Expérience extraordinaire. Notre guide, Rémi était top, il a su s’adapter à chaque personne et a été à l’écoute. Et le parcours de 2h-2h30 avec des vues surprenantes est passé à une vitesse incroyable. Merci Rémi ☺️

Première expérience de canyoning incroyable dans les gorges du Loup. Descente en rappel, toboggans, petits sauts, grands sauts, tout y est ! Un grand merci à Olivier mais aussi aux deux guides, Rémi et Simon, pour leur sympathie et leur professionnalisme ! Merci encore !

My family of 8 (14-38) enjoyed a day of canyoning and absailing whilst in France. We chose Oliver’s company due to his excellent communication. He even gave us lots of recommendations for our trip. He would always get back quickly and was very informative. The rates were excellent as we had over 6 people. We were met by Julien our guide who was lovely, comical and embraced our Scottish accent. He was a good laugh throughout. The activity was excellent. We learned to absail too which was fun! Everyone loved the whole experience. If booking please note: there are no changing areas. We had to change in our cars but we dried quickly in the summer sun. I would have loved if the guides had cameras to take photos. We done ghyll scrambling in the Lake District and there were 2 guides - one of which would take lots of photos for us! Although I appreciate, another guide would increase costs and the currents in some of the waters may be unsafe! But just a suggestion :) We would 100% recommend Olivers company and if we were ever returning to water canyon we would absolutely use this company again!

Canyoning with children near Nice Côte d’Azur

Let’s see how you can go canyoning with the children of your family in the mountain rivers around Nice. Everybody knows that chidren like water but there are a few things you should know if you want the children of your family have good fun trying this water sport activity…

Canyoning with children Nice Cote d'Azur
Children like water. It’s not hard to convince them to go canyoning with all the family!

How old must your children be to try canyoning in the French Riviera?

I would start saying it’s better not to go canyoning with very young children for many reasons.

First of all, your children should feel rather easy in the water. Beeing a rather good swimmer seems to be the first important thing if you want their experience in the river enjoyable! If you spend your time drinking the water around you, it’s far less funny, isn’t it?

Then, walking in the riverbed is not so easy with all the rocks you have to go around. For a young child, it will be even more complicated!

On top of that, young children could be rather cold during the tour because of the small sizes of their bodies. Water is much warmer when you are tall and big! Most of the 5 or 6 years old children I could see canyoning around Nice are generally completely frozen!

Sure all the children are not the same but I would say that you’d bettter wait that they are 8 years old and at least 20 kgs even if they really have good skills for their age!

What is the best season to try canyoning with the children of your family near Nice?

Canyoning in the Cote d’Azur is possible from the beginning of April to the end of October. With children, we would say it is possible from June to september to have good conditions. The best moment for younger children will be july and august because the water is much warmer.

Summer is the best season to have fun canyoning with all your family in the French Riviera near Nice!

On top of that the river stream is generally not as strong in summer and the conditions will be easier for children!

Which canyons should you do to start this water sport with children in the Côte d’Azur?

With the children of your family, the best to discover canyoning is to start with easy half day canyons on the Côte d’Azur. Like that, you will spend 2h-2h30 in the river and your children won’t be cold or very tired.

Your canyoning guide will indicate good options for children during the tour. As you can imagine, they are not always able to do what adults can do!

See this page to see which are the easy half day canyons around Nice Côte d’Azur.

The best option to go canyoning with children : choose an easy trip!

It’s still possible to go canyoning in full day trips with 12 years old children but for the first canyoning experience, it will always be better to discover this water sport with an half day tour. It’s always better to start with something too easy than something too complicated!
