1. Rafting: The Essential Activity
Rafting remains the signature activity on the Nive at Bidarray. Aboard an inflatable boat maneuvered collectively, you descend the rapids as a team. It's the most accessible and convivial activity, perfect for families, groups of friends, or corporate outings.
At Ur Bizia, we offer descents of about 2 hours, with Class II to III rapids that offer a good balance between thrills and safety. Rafting on the Nive is also an excellent introduction to white water sports.
2. Inflatable Canoe: For More Autonomy
The inflatable canoe is perfect if you want more autonomy and control over your course. Aboard a small boat for 2-3 people, you paddle together to progress through the rapids. This activity requires a bit more coordination and strength, but offers a more intimate and personalized experience.
The inflatable canoe is ideal for couples seeking a couple activity, small groups of friends, or parents with older children. On the Nive, this activity takes place on the same sections as rafting, but with a different dynamic.
3. Hydrospeed: Sensations and Freedom
Hydrospeed is the fusion of bodyboarding and rafting. Sitting on a device resembling a small board with a handle, you let the current carry you. It's the most exhilarating and freest activity for thrill-seekers.
The direct contact with water makes this activity incredibly invigorating. You're closer to the river, the rapids, and you truly feel each wave. Hydrospeed requires good physical condition and ease in water, but it's an unforgettable experience that enthusiasts consider revolutionary.
4. Mini Raft: For the Youngest
The mini raft is the reduced version of classic rafting, specially designed for children from 6 years old. With a properly fitted life jacket and an attentive guide, children experience their first great water adventure in complete safety.
The mini raft allows young people to build confidence around water, learn teamwork, and create unforgettable memories. Parents can either participate on a neighboring boat or let them experience this adventure with other children under supervision.
5. Packraft: Light and Adventurous
The packraft is a tiny ultra-light inflatable boat for one or two people. It's the most immersive and unstable activity, making it a thrilling adventure for extreme sensation seekers.
Packraft requires excellent paddling technique and ease in water, but offers unparalleled freedom and connection to the river. It's perfect for experienced adventurers seeking a new dimension in white water sports.
How to choose?
Your choice will depend on your personal preferences, experience level, and group. For a first time, rafting is essential. If you're seeking more sensation, hydrospeed is ideal. For a couple or small group experience, the inflatable canoe is perfect. And for children, the mini raft is the best option.
