★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 297 reviews · 2 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $29Best value

Paddle the Dordogne from Vitrac past castles, cliffs, villages, and caves, with flexible routes, swimming stops, and easy shuttle service.

“The staff were helpful. It was a little nerve wracking in the beginning as we figured out how to paddle and steer but it was well worth it. Such an incredible way to see the area around the Dordogne river. We had toured abeyance the previous day so seeing it from the river made it even more impressive. And to see the ledges used in prehistoric times from below was also amazing.”
