Getting fit while having fun is within reach for anyone seeking new thrills, even if they're unsure how to go about it. Water sports are a brilliant option for exercising without excessive strain while staying refreshed. Ideal for the whole family, they also let you explore our peninsula's coasts now that active tourism is all the rage.
There are countless activities to choose from, though we recommend those most popular among adventurers and sea enthusiasts:
Jet Skiing - A thrilling activity where speed across the water's surface takes centre stage. Rent a jet ski from a specialised company and enjoy short excursions with an instructor or solo if you hold the proper licence.
Rafting - A sport where adventure spans kilometre after kilometre of fun as you navigate rapids. Don't miss this chance - the inflatable raft will let you experience nature in a truly unique way.
Canyoning - Descending canyons has grown hugely popular in recent decades, as it's an incredibly comprehensive sport where water surrounds you throughout. Tackle various obstacles like natural slides, pools and waterfalls... Best enjoyed in groups!
Surf - What can we say about this near-millennia-old sport? One of the world's most widespread practices with countless devotees. Competitions keep growing, and while not hard to learn, it does require patience and determination.
Kitesurfing - Letting the wind guide your sail is pure adrenaline, and you'll revel in the sea's intense blue hues. A hobby you can pursue whenever you like after completing a specialised course on meteorology and equipment use.
SUP - Stand-Up Paddleboarding has reached nearly every coast, as most surf or kite businesses now invest in it. All you need is good balance and enthusiasm. Beach holidays like you've never imagined!
While water sports can also be enjoyed in lakes and rivers, the sea remains the preferred setting. It offers broader possibilities enhanced by waves that heighten the excitement.
Don't miss your chance to try these activities or choose from our extensive list: windsurfing, hydrospeeding, boat trips, canoeing, diving... Taking up any of these sports will be brilliant not just in summer, but even in winter with a good wetsuit.
