Hire paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking — Lake Sainte-Croix

Beyond Pont du Galetas, yellow buoys mark the upstream limit in the gorges; they take precedence over an advertised distance.

Before travelling, ask for the exact authorised launch, equipment collection address and return point. For a guided outing, also confirm the meeting place: a beach, harbour or visitor landmark alone does not establish it.

Ask about actual time on the water and total duration, including check-in, preparation and any transfer. Then choose an outing with the operator to suit the group and current conditions.

Before booking, confirm minimum age, swimming requirements, supervision, boat capacity and supplied equipment, including suitable buoyancy aids. Ask what you need to bring and what happens if the outing is postponed.
