Supervised by qualified instructors, the trips are suitable for all levels of experience. Whether it’s a first-time family outing, a day out with friends or a more challenging adventure: there’s a route to suit everyone’s preferences. The professionals accompany you throughout the activity to ensure you enjoy the experience to the full in complete safety.
In Lourdes, rafting is much more than just a sporting activity. It’s a unique way to explore the Gave de Pau, feel the power of the water and see the Pyrenean landscapes in a whole new light. An experience that blends energy, nature and camaraderie, all set to the rhythm of the river.
