HOLIDAY OFFERS - White Water Holidays - Kayak the Alps Holiday - Kayak the Alps for Beginners - kayak alps beginners self catering

Self Catering Options

From 346€ per adult and 299€ per child for a weeks kayaking fun on the Kayak the Alps for Beginners course staying in a choice of self catering accommodation with different transport options.

We have two choices of accommodation:

Cecile's Farm is a lovingly restored traditional farm house, situated on the edge of the medieval village of St Bonnet next to the river Drac. You are centrally located for all the other rivers but have the advantage of a private garden leading onto the banks of the Drac!

A Chalet on the St Leger Les Melezes Camp site. The camp site is a small, friendly, family oriented campsite with a pool, bar and snack bar on site. There is also a sauna and jacuzzi area that you can hire. It has great mountain views and is centrally located for the rivers.

There are a variety of chalets to choose from and they vary in quality. However, as a general rule they are quite basic but clean and functional with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Some have washing machines and dishwashers and for those that don't there are facilities on the site you can use.

All Prices include: see Kayak the Alps Beginners Self catering Prices Tables

• 7 nights accommodation in a choice of self catered accommodation

• 5 half days progressive kayaking sessions on a variety of rivers and lakes (see example itinerary) with fully qualified and experienced white water guides and all equipment (kayaks, paddles, wetsuits, helmets, life jackets etc) included. You can bring your own kayak if you prefer.

• half day on a high ropes adventure course (the biggest in Europe!) - just for change from the water!

• choice of transport options (local transport to and from activities can either be provided by us or you can self drive)

Have a look at our example itinerary to get an idea of what your week could be like.

Getting here

Have a look at our how to get here page for information on flights, trains and driving here.

We can help you organise your travel here and can book trains, but not flights (it is cheaper for you to book directly with a budget airline).

We can also help with information and advice about airport parking or airport hotels

Once you arrive at your train station or airport you can either self drive (we can organise a hire car for you) or we can arrange a transfer to get you here.

Self Drive Option

If you prefer the flexibility of having your own car so you can visit the region; go to restaurants, spend a morning at the swimming pool or lake or visit the markets, when you aren't hurtling down the rapids, then this option is for you.

If you don't want to drive here all the way from the UK, we can organise you a hire car to be collected from the airport or station you arrive at.

When you arrive at your accommodation we will meet you to explain the week and give you maps and directions for getting to the white water meeting points and the ropes adventure course. They are all easy to find so don't worry about getting lost! And we can also suggest walks and other things to do near the meeting points if you would like to have a full day out.

Transport included option

If driving abroad isn't your thing or you would much rather let someone else do it all, then this is for you.

The price includes the same holiday as above plus transport to and from all the scheduled activities.

If you would like to visit the region in your spare time whilst you are here, we can organise local taxis for you.

We can also organise a transfer for you from a local airport or train station.

If you like the idea of this holiday but would prefer to stay in different accommodation or try some of the other activities on offer, please contact us for a tailor made quote.

To book or for more information please send us a booking request and we'll get back to you.
