Water sports and leisure activities Hendaye/Hendaia

Here, the 3 S rule applies: Sensation, Safety and Smiles! For 20 years, the school has been offering individual, group and school surfing lessons and courses for children aged 6 and over. It has been awarded the "Confort" classification by the FFS, thanks to its spacious 80 m² premises facing the surf zone, and its commitment to the French Surf Schools Quality Charter. It offers surf camps with accommodation and showers. Stand-up paddle lessons, surf packs...

Embark on a kayak, pirogue or stand-up paddle trip to visit some of the most beautiful sites on the Hendaye coast: Cap du Figuier in Spain, the rocks of Deux Jumeaux and the bay of Loya overlooking the Abbadia estate, the bay of Txingudi and the ports of Canneta and Fontarrabie, or the more tranquil and less turbulent descent of the Bidassoa river. Arteka Océan is also the world of surfing, with wave-skiing and sit-skiing for all. Initiations, lessons, courses and all boats for hire on the site, with prices.

Whether you're a fan of water sports, jet-skiing, towed buoys or boating, Memphis Jet offers a wide range of activities. Professionals of the sea who welcome you to Hendaye in a friendly atmosphere from the ocean. Jetskiing, flysurfing, towed buoys and sea walks along the Basque coastline are just some of the activities you can enjoy. For evenings out with the family or in a group, San Sebastian's night-time outings in August feature the most beautiful fireworks festival facing the sea. A great gift idea.

Climb aboard a sailboat, take to the open sea and learn to sail with the Haizea Spi en Tête sailing school, which offers outings off the Basque coast. Excursions with iodine are well worth the detour, from Hendaye to Hossegor, or further south to San Sebastian, from Getaria to Getxo. Cruises too, for a taste of all the pleasures of sailing. Come aboard with family and friends, in complete safety, and take advantage of the various packages on offer. And if you want to learn to sail, professional skippers will teach you how to trim a sail.

The underwater world is fascinating! Thanks to the Urpean diving club, you can discover some of the most varied sites on the Basque coast, either solo or accompanied, including the "morutier" wreck at San Sebastian in Spain. Just a few motor turns from the port of Hendaye, the "wall" is one of the most beautiful dives, with a rich and varied fauna. Whether you're looking for a snorkeling trip, a first dive for children or adults, Level 1 or Nitrox training, the club is open to all. And you can also improve your skills by passing your Level 2.

The professional team at PlanetOcean in Hendaye offers individual or group diving sessions from the Betiko all year round. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced diver, we offer training courses at various levels. For beginners, the DSD experience (one pool dive and one sea dive) and snorkeling trips are ideal. PlanetOcean is also developing Freediving. Since 2005, it has been one of the top diving centers in France.

Numerous sailboats and owner's launches on the site. Regattas organized with results, since the club, founded in 1993, has been ranked first in Aquitaine for four consecutive years. It's a magnificent playground for lovers of fun and itinerant sailing. With over 150 active members, the YCH is one of the main drivers of local boating activity. A key partner in the organization of sporting events promoted by the port and the town council. Once moored, discover an authentic region where land and sea are one.

Do you admire great sailors and competitors? This center will introduce you to water sports. Affiliated with the FFV (French Sailing Federation) and holding the "Ecole Française de Voile" and "Point Plage" labels, it is the benchmark structure for learning to sail, supervised by State-qualified instructors, from 8 years old in Optimist, 12 years old in Catamaran, 14 years old in Déclic, and from 12 years old in Magnum 21... With courses from Easter to the end of summer, from 2 days to a week. At the same time, thanks to the Nautical Pass, you can go from a catamaran tour to a kayak trip.

Come aboard the Tximista with your family or friends (2 people or more) and captain Nico, for a combined aperitif and sunset cruise from Txingudi Bay in Hendaye. You'll discover the Basque coastline, the splendid Château d'Abbadia, and the "2 twins" of Hendaye Bay, in a convivial, original and privileged way, with the sharp commentary of our long-distance captain. Each trip lasts an average of 1h30. And all the while enjoying a local aperitif. Ideal for privatization.
