Great experience. Rented a two person kayak from Verdon Canoe near Pont du Gelatas and made our way into the gorge. Spotted many others with pedalos and other boats. Renting a boat for two hours...

We drove around the Verdin Gorge area during early October and took our time enjoying the fall colors and stopping at most viewpoints for over four hours so we only touched the surface of this gorgeous (pun intended :) ) area. Not many cars were on the road during our visit and the water level appeared to be very low.

A beautiful hike through the Gorge. Steep decent and super steep Ascent 🫣 but worth the views. Took us around 3.5h to complete at a leisurely pace.
