2 to 5 days canoes trip

You want to cut with the stress of everyday life for a weekend or more.

You want to discover the Leyre on 2 days or more, why not in its entirety. You dream to go under the forest gallery on the large Leyre wide barely 2 meters and see the landscape and the river widen over the days, at your own pace, to reach the Arcachon basin, in the heart of ornithological park of Teich, roaming is for you.

Start your sailing day at the time of your choice (very early to have a chance to see wild animals, or later to enjoy a graceful morning), bivouac in unusual places, quiet. The courses will go from ten kilometers per day and can reach 30 km per day (to be defined with us).

We offer 2 types of services.

- The first in complete autonomy where we intervene only at the beginning and the arrival,

- The second, the lightweight travel mode, where we take care of getting your camping gear in the morning and drop it off at the next bivouac. We can also transport you to do some shopping if needed.

We will inform you of the possible camping sites as wild camping is prohibited and you will have to book them on your side.
