Description
Rafting 64 is a multi-activity operator based in Montfort, in the Béarn region in the southwest of France, next to the Gave d'Oloron river. They offer rafting, canoë, paddle, paintball, ziplining and a few other activities. This review is for the 13km half-day discovery (Découverte) and includes all compulsory equipment such as jacquet and helmet. All participants need to be able to swim at least 25m (for safety rasons).

Instructions & Recommendations

The rafting session can be combined with other activities proposed by Rafting 64 or a visit of the town of Navarrenx, Sauveterre de Béarn or Oloron Sainte Marie.
Environmental & Social
Eco-friendly activity. This helps support small independent operators and the local rural economy.
Conclusion
Rafting on the Gave d'Oloron for half a day with Rafting 64 is, in our opinion, a fantastic option for those looking to add a bit of thrill and "active tourism" to their itinerary. It blends discovery of the region, fun and social elements. It isn't cheap but we do think if offers good value and you could expect to pay a lot more in other countries for a similar experience.
Key positive
Great fun and atmosphere
An excellent way to enjoy the natural environnement of the Béarn region
Patronize local independent operators
Key negative
A bit of a budget for a group / family
Summer season is not ideal as there is less water flow
Suitability
The Discovery formula should suit anybody between the age of 6/7 and 70 so long as they can swim. For that reason, this activity is not accessible to anybody with reduced mobility
