What To Expect
Our half-day on the Gave de Pau from Villelongue is a good way to tackle the rapids in a group or with the family on the most beautiful course in the Vallée des Gaves. You choose the boat you like. The stability of our rafts and mini-rafts will reassure the whole family. The canoe (hot dog) will delight the adventurer duos and the kayak (ait boat) will prove to be the best ally of the hotheads who will face the rapids alone! In any case, you will be able to fill up on sensations accompanied by your instructor. By booking in the spring, you enjoy the tumult of the turquoise water resulting from the melting snow. As summer sets in, the course softens somewhat to become a superb playground, which continues to happily jostle young and old in complete safety!

5.00We booked a half-day with Tom Rafint for a friend's bachelor party, and it was absolutely amazing! We chose the special bachelor party package, and it was the best choice: -a monitor exclusively for us, a big thank you to Jérémie who was absolutely fantastic, full of humor, caring, and reassuring :) -only our group was present during the descent of the Gave -a unicorn buoy race at the end of the course, hilarious! -a snack with beers, cheese, and charcuterie, and the team does not make fun of you, it's quality -HD photos included, I laughed alone for long minutes discovering the pictures in my inbox XD Tom and Marie are adorable and very open to discussion. They participated in the activity by preparing all the bonuses for the bachelor party package, and it is also thanks to them that the afternoon was so enjoyable! NOTE: For those who fear the coldness of the waters of the Gave, rest assured because the wetsuits really protect well from the cold :)
Amazing experience with...

4.00A large group booked the select lounge two hour rafting in mid August 2025. We phoned two days before to see if there was going to be plenty of water to raft the river during to the lack of rain. Was told by a lady , can’t remember her name but she was the owners wife that there was. We made the three hundred kilometre trip to do it and discovered there wasn’t. We asked for two rafts when booking but ended up with one and the rest in double kayaks. Was a pleasant afternoon but not worth the long trip in August. Facilities were good, changing room snd showers.
Great experience
