Stag & Hen Party in the Basque Country

Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties

Give the groom or bride-to-be an unforgettable adventure on the Nive River! Since 1991, Ur Bizia has been organising tailor-made whitewater outings for stag and hen groups in the heart of the Basque Country.

The perfect setting for your party

The Basque Country is the ideal destination for a memorable stag or hen do. Between mountains and ocean, the Nive valley offers a spectacular playground just 30 minutes from Biarritz.

Picture your group riding the rapids of the Nive in a raft, laughing through the waves, challenging each other… a guaranteed bonding and fun experience that the future newlywed will never forget!

Our water sports centre in Bidarray welcomes you in a preserved natural setting, with changing rooms, showers and a picnic area by the river.
