Banzai Rafting is an outdoor adventure business based in Saint-Clément-sur-Durance, in France’s Hautes-Alpes. Led by Arnaud, a state-certified guide, the company introduces visitors to the Durance valley through guided white-water activities near Guillestre, Embrun and Serre-Ponçon. Its experiences are suited to beginners and more confident participants, and can be enjoyed solo, with friends or as a family, provided participants can swim.

The main offerings include rafting in a stable inflatable boat, an accessible way to experience the river with a guide, and inflatable kayak, or “hot-dog,” outings for a more active two-person ride. Hydrospeed gives participants a closer encounter with the water using a reinforced wetsuit, foam float and fins. Canyoning is also listed among the activities. Banzai Rafting presents its outings as a mix of sport, fun and discovery, with guidance that adapts to the group and may include insights into the local landscape and nature. Visitors can contact the team for information and reservations; group and family rates are available on request.
