We had a good trip. The 23 km kayak was a bit too long for us, but we managed it. Nice to have small, natural beaches along the way: great for a stop or swim. Material was ok. 2 person kayak was more... See more

We came with the Bike too the Ardeche, and our camping was at the bottom of the 32 km. Trip. First we wanted to get a Taxi, but they actually organized a Private ride for us up to Vallon Pont d'arc.(... See more

This is a very well organised canoe and kayak rental company. Excellent timing and explanation of the river. A great day out in a beautiful setting

Agreeable staff, clockwork planning, everything was there but the water down stream (which is hardly their fault)

This message any return that magic occurs between what we are able to convey and how you feel it;-) thanks to you
Good experience
Well organized, clear instructions. Do your booking online though, as it is significantly cheaper.
We did both the 12km and the 24km descent. The latter takes you further into the nature reserve and was our favorite, but we thought both were well worth doing.

Congratulations! You are one of our few customers who make 36Km in two days;-) The two courses are complementary and represent all possible configurations of the Ardèche. And yes, on the internet it is ALWAYS cheaper! Thank you for choosing LOULOU for your excursions.
Very well organized
Very well organized, we could even leave before the time we had booked just after our arrival!

Traduction reverso :Très bien organisé, nous pouvions même partir avant l’heure que nous avions réservée juste après notre arrivée !
Voilà également une situation que nous pouvons proposer, lorsque cela est bien évidemment possible ! Merci à vous ;-)

We did the 32 km course on a day
We did the 32 km course on a day. It was really fun, the Gorges de l'Ardèche are such a beautiful place and we (with 6 friends) shared an amazing time. About Louloubateaux I would say that some guys from the staff are really nice but ... some others are very unlikeable. Don't let people being able to choose when they start the course if you don't want them to be late at the finish line. You have a preasure to be at the arrival at about 4 p.m, thus you can't stop to swin or eat or drink peacefully if you start at 9.30 a.m and that's really sad with such beautiful landscapes. Arriving after the time, the staff could be very unfriendly with you. Otherwise, louloubateaux has a good stuff and prices are pretty correct.

Hi Lara,
We start by congratulating you on the sportiness of this 32Km course carried out during the day!
We totally agree with you: a departure at the earliest of the day is necessary for this course. Some hear, others NO!!
For the not nice guys...let us know that we spank them: this does good times!
Yours for this sharing of emotions about our beautiful region and the pleasure of meeting you;-)
********************
Nous vous félicitons tout d’abord pour la sportivité de ce parcours de 32Km réalisé durant la journée !
Nous sommes totalement de votre avis : un départ au plus tôt de la journée est nécessaire pour ce parcours. Certains entendent, d'autres NON !!
Pour les gars pas sympa...nous le faire savoir qu'on leur mette la fessée : çà fait du bien des fois !
Bien à vous pour ce partage d'émotions quant à notre belle région et au plaisir de vous retrouver ;-)
Nice kayaks
Nice kayaks, easy and fast booking process. The ride back to the departure station was on a bus with air conditioning.

As soon as we turn our backs, you "throw" everything !
So you ! We keep you ... (laughs) !
Very pleasant
Very pleasant, 100% as planned,
Booking in Les Vans , right at the place we were having our hotel
Good advices to select the descent of the river.
Flexible for the starting time, good and thorough briefing smiling faces at the start
Pick-up after the descent just as planned, no waiting in the sun.
Perfect , just as advertised.

Ah ! mince Hervé ! Excusez-nous, mais cela peut arriver !
Je n'en sais pas assez sur votre parcours, mais à priori, il s'agit surement d'un retour de mini-parcours ;-) De temps en temps, pour des questions de sécurité, les véhicules sont remplacés ponctuellement pour contrôles, vérifications et réparations si nécessaire, puisqu'ils roulent 7 jours sur 7.
Donc effectivement, nous privilégions votre sécurité au détriment de votre climatisation.
Nous espérons que vous ne nous en tiendrez pas trop rigueur.
Merci encore pour votre compréhension.
A day with friends!
Advice, briefing, material, way back... no problem! A too short day with friends!
