Frequently asked questions

How intense is the Roya river for canorafting?
The session is rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll hit real rapids with some physical effort, but no technical whitewater experience is required. Expect short bursts of adrenaline followed by calmer stretches on the Roya.
What's the most intense moment of the session?
The strongest rapids on the Roya are the highlight. Your guide from Mat & Eau / Nice Rafting will brief you before each rapid so you know exactly when to paddle hard and when to hold on.
Do I need to be afraid of the water to enjoy this?
Not at all. The "Occasionally sporty" level means the river challenges you without overwhelming you. A lifejacket and helmet are provided throughout the half-day session.
Is the season limited for rafting on the Roya?
Yes. The season runs from May to September, when snowmelt and rainfall keep the river at its best level for canorafting. Outside that window, the Roya drops too low to run safely.

Equipment

Wear a swimsuit and bring a change of clothes for after the session. Secure footwear (old trainers or water sandals with a heel strap) is strongly recommended since the physical level is "Occasionally sporty" and you'll be on your feet in and around the raft during the half-day.

Getting there

Head directly to the Mat & Eau / Nice Rafting shop at 31 avenue des Combattants, 06540 Breil-sur-Roya, roughly 50 km northeast of Nice via the A8 motorway and the Roya valley road.
