Ô’fil de LeyreThe wild Leyre06 26 45 60 78Book now Located 30 minutes from Biscarrosse, you can go canoeing down the Leyre on routes of 6 km, 13 km or 20 km, lasting from 2 hours to a full day, from €20 per adult and €10 per child.
The river winds its way beneath the trees and sets a different pace to that of large bodies of water. This outing offers a change of pace during a stay in Biscarrosse, Parentis-en-Born or Sanguinet, without promising an experience identical to that of a lake. Allow around 35 to 45 minutes’ drive, depending on your starting point.
If you’re a family or a first-time participant, start by checking out the 6 km route and its timings. The 13 km route involves a longer time in the water. The 20 km route requires you to set aside the whole day and to come prepared with a plan that takes into account the physical effort involved and the forecast conditions.
Moustey, Saugnac and Belin-Béliet are approached differently depending on the descent. Don’t just follow the name of the route: use the navigation button on the booking confirmation page and the instructions you received after confirmation.
On a lake, you can return to the starting point whenever you like. On the Leyre, the route is one-way: once you’ve set off, you head straight to the finish, where the shuttle bus will collect you. This changes how you need to prepare. Bring some water, a cap and something to protect your mobile phone. Make sure you wear shoes that can get wet: there are a few shallow sections where you may need to step into the water.
This is the longest format. Check the team’s comfort level, age, conditions and recommendations before choosing it.
The location depends on the route. The booking details page shows the address and the relevant navigation links.
