#BOAT TOURS DORDOGNE RIVER FULL#
#BOAT TOURS DORDOGNE RIVER PLUS#

The river is never very deep, and at places is very very shallow. My only word of warning is that you are likely to get wet - possibly slightly damp, potentially soaked through. It is an unaccompanied trip - so you just get slid into the water and get paddling. Basically paddle toward Brantome - where there are two weirs to slide down. The give some fairly basic instructions in English - but it's not very complicated. It was quite busy, so we waited until last for our group of 12 - which meant for almost the entire trip we had the river to ourselves. You pay your 15 Euros each and are issued with a paddle and buoyancy aid, you then jump on the bus which takes you to the launch. It's a fairly basic operation - we went for the 8km/2hour journey.

Please have outer wear to stay warm and dry.Having been to come through Brantome and seen what a beautiful place it was and the canoes/kayaks trying to get over the weirs and chute - we booked with Allo Canoes for a couple of days later.
