Details
Try hydrospeed on the Garonne river and discover a new sport in a wild environment, on one of the most beautiful rivers of the Pyrenees. Fully immersed in the water, you will navigate with a float and, thanks to the fins at your feet, you can go very fast and feel the current around you. This descent is made for all ages and levels, between friends or with your family, and will allow you to try your hand at this sport in complete safety.
Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet at our base in Saint-Béat at the booked time. You will start by putting on your wetsuit in the changing rooms and familiarise yourself with the equipment.
- Tour:
Once the equipment is on, a small briefing from your state-certified guide will allow you to know how to behave on the water. We will then leave for an extraordinary adventure, which will alternate between rapids and calmer parts where you will be able to admire the landscape.
- Arrival:
At the end of the tour, a bus will take you back to the base for a good rest as well as the possibility of picnicking or booking a table at the restaurant by the lake.
