A tributary of the Adour, the Gave de Pau rises from the Cirque de Gavarnie before joining the Gave d'Oloron to form the Gaves Réunis near Peyrehorade, flowing through the Landes, the Pyrenean valleys, the Pays de Nay, and the Jurançon vineyard along the way. It is in Villelongue — around 10 minutes from Argelès-Gazost and 20 minutes from both Lourdes and Cauterets — that the Tom Rafting team welcomes you for a private descent of the Gave de Pau by raft, mini-raft, canoe, or kayak.

During this excursion, you'll have the chance to explore a magnificent stretch of whitewater in the Vallée des Gaves, at the heart of the Pyrenees. Thanks to the private nature of the activity, you'll enjoy an exclusive experience whether you're in a group, with family, or as a duo. Rapid after rapid, breathtaking Pyrenean scenery unfolds around you as you paddle along the Gave de Pau. Your guide will be on hand throughout to help with equipment, go through the safety rules, and accompany you in the raft for the duration of the descent or stay nearby if you choose a different boat. If you opt for the barbecue or picnic option, your guide will take care of the food — all you'll need to bring is your swimsuit, a towel, and a sturdy pair of shoes!
