Practical information

Smaller and easier to handle, the mini-raft is a fun and playful craft.

For the sailors among you, this hour and a half will be an opportunity to learn how to manoeuvre your mini-rafts under the guidance of your instructor, who is used to sailing on the Nive.

And for the luckiest among you, the mini-raft on the river Nive from Ossès to Bidarray may allow you to come across pottocks (small local horses), foals or ewes... don't forget, those who enjoy looking up may also spot vultures or, even rarer, falcons.

Fellow holidaymakers on the Basque coast, what would you say to visiting the lands of New Aquitaine in a sporty, fun and refreshing way? The mini-raft on the Nive river, from Ossès towards Bidarray, is just what you're looking for!
