NCKD Aquarando An original river immersion in Itxassou

AquaRando in the Basque Country

With NCKD: a water hike in the heart of the Basque Country

A refreshing activity accessible to all. Aquarando, or aquatic hiking, is a fun activity perfect for discovering the natural beauty of the Basque Country in complete tranquility. With NCKD in Itxassou, participants hike along the riverbed, alternating between swimming, small slides, and passages through gorges. This aquatic adventure is ideal for families and those seeking an immersive experience without technical difficulty.

A unique experience combining exploration and fun

Unlike canyoning, aquarando doesn't require ropes or rappelling techniques, making it more accessible. Hikers follow the watercourse at their own pace, discovering unspoiled wild landscapes, waterfalls, and natural pools for landing jumps. It's the perfect activity for reconnecting with nature.

A safe route with NCKD guides

Led by experienced instructors, participants learn to move safely in the aquatic environment. NCKD is committed to providing professional and safe instruction, guaranteeing a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone. The necessary equipment for participation includes a good pair of closed-toe shoes. A wetsuit and helmet are provided for optimal comfort.

Enjoy an unusual activity in the heart of nature

Aqua hiking with NCKD is a wonderful outdoor activity to enjoy in the Basque Country. Whether for a family outing or a group activity, this unique experience offers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery. A total immersion in a pristine natural setting not to be missed!

A smaller version of canyoning, this fun and refreshing hike is accessible to everyone. Come and discover, with your feet in the water and sometimes more, a verdant world, without handling ropes.

Chef's suggestion : An aquatic excursion for the curious and contemplative. An original immersion in the river, at your own pace, combining walking, swimming, and jumps, always with options to avoid. Contact us to check water levels and the feasibility of the outing for your comfort and safety. If the water is too high or too low, switch to our mini-raft, canoe-raft, and kayak-raft options, which are much more fun.
