Acorn Family Holidays

This adventure offers you a visit to two beautiful regions. The highlights of this trip are the Ardèche descent in France and the exhilarating white water rafting experience on the Dora Baltea River in Italy – really high adrenaline watersports. Add to this a double selection of places of historic and cultural interest and fun-filled waterparks and leisure resorts, and this holiday is guaranteed to keep every member of your family happy!

An exhilarating two-day descent of the Ardèche River by open canoe (2-person per canoe), with a one-night bivouac is the highlight at Camping La Savane. The overnight stop is at a bivouac site where Acorn staff cook your evening meal and provide breakfast before your second day of canoeing. In the true outdoor style the bivouac involves sleeping under the stars on the banks of the river in the deep heart of the gorge.

In Italy, a full day of incredible alpine white water rafting awaits you. The rafts usually hold eight people plus an instructor. This activity takes place on progressively more challenging sections of the Dora Baltea River so the excitement grows as the day goes along.

There is also an exciting array of other watersports and some very exciting dry land activities provided during your stay, from caving to our fantastic high ropes course.

This adventure is perfect for those wishing to pack their trip full with a burst of contrasting locations, activities and experiences.

What's included?

All our holidays are FULLY inclusive. This means all your activities, equipment and instruction  included in the price.  In addition, on our 2 Centre Adventure holidays we offer full board accommodation for 9 nights. We have lots of experience in providing good nutritious food suitable for multi-activity holidays and feeding fussy children! Three meals a day are included - breakfast is usually continental in style, lunch a picnic or salad, and for dinner we offer a 2-3 course dinner.

Accommodation is in Acorn tents – these are especially designed to be basic but comfortable, great fun for kids and grown-ups! All tents have solid floors and metal-sprung single beds; you will need to bring sleeping bags and pillows with you.  Families of 3 or 2 have one tent whereas families of 4 or more have two adjacent tents.  Although we can not always guarantee it, if your family has just one tent we will normally have it equipped it with the following items: hanging "wardrobe”, side table, light, mirror and fridge. If your family has been allocated two tents, the primary tent will be equipped with all these items. There is no electricity in the secondary tent – a camping experience as it should be!
