Group rates, hen and stag parties and private trips
From 5 people, the half day drops to €50 per person; the sporty full day also has a group rate from 5 people, given on request. A trip opens on the date of your choice from 5 people, or 4 from 15 July to 31 August, provided a 5th person signs up. If there are two or three of you, we place you on a trip that is already organised, at the normal price.
For a hen or stag party, a birthday or a company outing, you can book the canyon privately: a private half day costs €400, the price of 8 places, and the slot is for your group only. A private full day costs €640, the price of 8 places for a full day.

Is canyoning expensive? Our prices compared with usual prices
In France, a guided canyoning trip usually costs between €45 and €100 per person, depending on the length and the canyon. In the Alpes-Maritimes and the Verdon, €60 for a half day and €90 for a full day are common. With Ailéments, it is €55 and €80, equipment and insurance included, with a group rate from 5 people: cheaper than most, without cutting corners on supervision.
The difference lies in what is included: with us, a state-qualified instructor for 8 people at most, all the equipment, and payment after the trip. Only the video is optional.
