Meta review

Excellent user reviews for this operator and their rafting activities. The professionalism and humour of the guides are the main highlights alongside the scenery and the fun of the experience. A lot of positive comments regarding the social atmosphere and the lunch option as well.

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
