Where is the Ardèche?

The Ardèche River flows through the Ardèche region in the south of France, known for its rugged limestone cliffs, dramatic gorges and beautiful landscapes. This area, part of the wider Rhône-Alpes region, is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The closest major airport is in Lyon, around a two-hour drive away, making it accessible yet wonderfully remote.

What Makes the Ardèche a Perfect Kayaking Destination?

Kayaking along the Ardèche River is a truly special experience, offering a mix of exhilarating rapids and calm stretches perfect for soaking in the breathtaking surroundings. 

The river winds through spectacular scenery, with towering cliffs, hidden caves and lush greenery all around. The clear waters make it easy to see fish darting beneath your kayak, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot an eagle soaring overhead or otters playing along the banks.

Why Go with Expert Instructors?

Kayaking the Ardèche River with expert instructors ensures a safe and fun experience for the whole family. The Acorn Family Holidays team will organise high-quality equipment, expert guidance and essential paddling techniques, making the adventure accessible even for beginners. Acorn’s knowledge of the river means you’ll navigate rapids confidently while enjoying the beauty of the surroundings without worry.

The Excitement of a Riverside Bivvi

One of the most exciting parts of the journey is the overnight bivvi – a riverside camp where you’ll sleep under the stars. After a thrilling day on the water, families gather on the riverbank, sharing stories and enjoying a delicious meal. With no screens or distractions, it’s the perfect chance to connect with your children, embrace the simplicity of nature and create lasting memories.

As night falls, the sky fills with countless stars, offering a magical end to an action-packed day. Waking up to the gentle sounds of the river and the fresh morning air makes for an unforgettable start to another adventure-filled day on the water.

The Perfect Family Adventure

Kayaking the Ardèche isn’t just about the adrenaline rush – it’s about teamwork, laughter and discovery. Acorn Family Holidays’ single-parent trips provide a supportive and friendly atmosphere, where parents and children can share in the excitement with other like-minded families.

This adventure is the perfect balance of challenge and fun, where kids gain confidence on the water, parents enjoy quality time with their children and everyone leaves with stories to tell. If you’re looking for a unique and rewarding way to spend your summer, paddling through the Ardèche Gorge is an experience you won’t forget.
