General information
Deal overview
This two and a half hour canoe or kayak trip on the Ariège is aimed at adults who want to discover the river by paddle, and no navigation experience will be required to register. However, you will need to know how to swim and be comfortable with your head underwater.
Departure is from our base on L'île Ô Pagaies, located on the water's edge in Vernajoul near Foix (Ariège). The base is accessible on foot from Foix station in around ten minutes via the greenway.
Before boarding, our state-certified instructor will give you safety instructions and teach you the basic gestures of holding the paddle, going straight, turning and stopping. You will then choose between canoeing and kayaking before heading out on the river with the group and your instructor.
Equipment (boat, paddle and vest) will be provided to you. When the water is suitable, swimming is also part of the outing.
Good to know: the outing is booked every day from one person to ten, with several departures during the day. Bring a swimsuit, a towel, a bottle of water and closed shoes that can go in the water.
