Vélo Pays Basque

Discover Bayonne, Ustaritz, Cambo and Itxassou by canoe-kayak from the banks of the Adour and Nive rivers, following the rhythm of the downstream currents with Antoine and Aurélien, both seasoned experts in this discipline, which can be practiced by people aged 7 (accompaniment compulsory) to 77 (and over), provided they know how to swim and are in good shape. Guided tours are available in both calm and swift waters. Whether you're a family, solo or duo, or a group of friends, it's a time for sharing and conviviality. Spice up your outings, your weekends and your holidays in a whole new way.

The best time to explore the joys of river sliding is from April to November. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, you'll enjoy gliding down the Pas de Roland gorges, a listed natural site, following the river's capricious course in the heart of a wild environment. You'll be spoilt for choice of activities, including rafting, canorafting, hydrospeed, stand-up paddle, tubing and more. You can also go canyoning, aquarando, climbing, caving and much more.

Explore the white waters of the Basque country between sea and mountains at the Cocktail Aventure leisure park. This secure enclave offers rafting (in unsinkable inflatable boats), inflatable canoeing and hydrospeed in waters of exceptional quality. These boats can accommodate up to 10 people. Among the most enchanting sites in the Basque Country, the Nive river and the area around Bidarray offer a truly spectacular backdrop. This activity is a truly invigorating return to nature!

Canoe trips from the Ur Ondoa rental base offer the ideal experience for families and groups, in complete safety (life jackets are compulsory). The routes are accessible to all, provided you can swim. The hour-and-a-half ride takes place on the most peaceful part of the Nivelle, while thrill-seekers can opt for the hour-and-a-half to two-hour descent to the Roman bridge at Ascain.
