EXCELLENT Based on 195 reviews Posted on Heidi Grotle-sætervollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow!! What an experience! We did not know exactly what canyoning was on beforehand. But our guide Lionel made it so fun and safe. We jumped and slided from high and into beautiful crystal clear waters. Up to 7m high jumps. We all felt challenged, our family consists of two adults and two teenagers. The equipment was good. The scenery was breathtaking. I highly recommend the trip to GORGE DE LOUP. We would certainly do it again!Posted on Nathan LerouxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
