Three options, three different intensities. Obouées runs the cheapest entry point at 28 € for a 5h tubing session on the Lergue river in Ceyras, open to everyone and ideal if you want a long, relaxed float. Goût d'Aventure delivers cano-rafting directly in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert for 42 €, a focused 2.5h rush through the Hérault gorges with no prior experience needed. At the top end, Trace Aventures charges 48 € for a full descent of the Canyon du Diable, rated "Occasionally sporty", meaning expect real current and active paddling. The price gap reflects intensity and terrain difficulty, not session length. Start with Obouées for a first contact, jump to Trace Aventures if you want the gorge to push back.
