Hydrospeed is intended for sporty people who don't mind getting their nose wet. Equipped with a float and fins, you can move easily, while taking advantage of the current and waves of the Sarine.
Tour programme
You arrive at our base at the scheduled time where you first have time to equip yourself (we have private facilities where you can change); a free car park is available on site. After the bus ride to the departure point, your guide gives you a theoretical introduction on safety, in order to live an experience without risks. In the water, you will let yourself be carried by the currents and you can surf the waves. We also pass through the Vanel gorges. When arriving at our final point, you will be taken back to our base where a small snack is offered.
