Tour programme- Preparation:
We meet at our base on the edge of the Gave de Pau in Montaut, where you can easily park in our free car park. After you are equipped, we leave in the truck for a short journey of about ten minutes, until the starting point of our adventure. Then a briefing, and off we go!

The 13-km descent will make us discover quiet sections, and a succession of rapids to get action! We adapt easily to your desires and the course is very flexible which allows families to have fun without being afraid, and adventurers to show their bravery.
- Return:
At the end of the course, we arrive directly on the beach of the base: we look together at the pictures! You can also enjoy a nice and warm shower; and if you are hungry after all this action, there is a restaurant nearby.
