Some visitors we had, spent the morning canyoning and loved it. Lionel was super easy to deal with and was very friendly and welcoming. He spoke in English for our guests. Booking was easy via SMS. I would thoroughly recommend.

We had a fantastic canyoning experience! Our guide Lionel was very helpful, patient, encouraging and fun guide! I still can't believe how I jumped but it was great! When you hesitate and decide not to jump or slide, there is always an alternative route to follow the group, which is also very helpful. I strongly recommend this activity and Les Geckos team, they are magnifique!

Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans le canyon des Gorges du loup. Nous étions deux adultes et deux enfants 10 et 13 ans. Simon notre moniteur très prévenant, pro et attentionné. Toute l’équipe est au top, mention spéciale à Gaston 🤣 A refaire si un jour nous repassons par là

L'accueil qui nous a été réservé était tout simplement parfait, marqué par une attention sincère et chaleureuse. Le guide qui nous a accompagnés s'est révélé être d'une sympathie remarquable, mettant instantanément à l'aise et instaurant une confiance rassurante. Le parcours proposé était d'une diversité impressionnante, offrant la possibilité de sauts audacieux, de glissades excitantes et même de descentes en rappel, procurant ainsi une aventure inoubliable. En somme, je ne saurais trouver le moindre reproche à formuler. Je recommande vivement cette expérience à tous ceux en quête d'aventure et de plaisirs naturels. Un grand merci à notre guide, Lionel, pour avoir contribué à faire de cette journée une réussite totale.

Best experience ever! Friendly and relaxed and professional staff. My daughters 10 and 13 years old could skip jumps but my oldest daughter made an 8 meter jump! Good instructions in English, good equipement. We were not the fastest but they didn’t rush us and gave us all the opportunities to make the easy way. 3.5 hours experience. Nice clean cool waters.

On(mon fils et moi)etait la bas la semaine derniere et c'etait tout simplement fabuleux. La nature, les cascades, les toboggans, les sauts....et le guide(Georges) etait top, tres pro, tres sympa. C'etait la meiĺleure activite de toute nos vacances!! On a fait les gorges du verdon aussi, en terme de paysage et nature, le verdon est superieur aux gorges du loup, mais en termes de canyoning les gorges du loup sont biens mieux Je conseille vivement!!
