Aquitaine offers a wide range of sites for you to wield your oars.
All over the region there are, of course, the rivers. From your canoe
you can admire the villages
nestled at the bottom of the cliffs of the Dordogne, or row down the Grande
Leyre, that Amazon of the Landes area, observing its protected flora and fauna
…
There is also the white-water
of the Pyrenees for more extreme descents and the guarantee of heady
sensations. Different levels of difficulty exist.
Finally, you can try sea kayaking along the 250 km of coastline of the
Atlantic Ocean.
This is a good way of discovering the Dromedary Isle in the Bay of Loia near
Hendaye or, on the peaceful waters of the Bay of Arcachon, the labyrinth of
“esteys” (canals) and the countless migratory birds in the ornithological park
of Le Teich.
Whatever the type of landscape, canoeing is a unique way of seeing
different things, (re)discovering panoramas, exploring usually inaccessible
places and making the most of protected
nature, with or without a guide, with your friends or family, for a 3-hour
outing or a full weekend to get away from it all.
