About the activity

Aboard a classic, highly stable raft for 4 to 8 people, you'll tackle the rapids of the Gave de Pau in complete safety, guided throughout by a qualified instructor. For approximately 2 hours, you'll experience the incredible sensations of navigating the class 2 and 3 rapids that make up this stretch of the Gave de Pau between Argelès-Gazost and Cauterets — expect big waves and plenty of splashes!

Departing from Villelongue, less than an hour's drive from both Tarbes and Pau, you'll have access to comfortable facilities (showers, changing rooms, picnic area, and more) after your rafting descent of the Gave de Pau. All the necessary thermal safety equipment will be provided, allowing you to make the most of the experience in the magnificent setting of the Hautes-Pyrénées!

Whether you're a seasoned whitewater paddler or a complete first-timer, this rafting descent of the Gave de Pau from Villelongue will deliver incredible sensations and wonderful shared memories with your nearest and dearest! And if you're after a greater challenge, opt for the mini-raft descent of the Gave de Pau — your instructor won't be on board with you but will follow alongside in their own kayak raft!

My family and I had a great experience with Tom Rafting. We booked our half-day excursion the night before and received a confirmation within two hours. Tom was a great rafting guide (spoke English, Spanish and French). He pointed out landmarks, various wildlife and had insight on each mountain range. His instructions on rafting were very easy to follow... my 64 year old Aunt had the time of her life. I would highly recommend Tom Rafting for anyone visiting the area.
