    • AquaRando in the Basque Country

      With NCKD: an aquatic 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 walk along the riverbed, swimming, sliding, and crossing gorges. This aquatic adventure is ideal for families and those looking for an immersive experience without technical difficulties.


      A unique experience between exploration and fun

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


      A safe journey with NCKD guides

      Supervised by experienced instructors, participants learn to move safely in the aquatic environment. NCKD makes it a point of honor to offer professional and safe supervision, guaranteeing a serene and pleasant experience for all. The necessary equipment to come and practice, a good pair of closed shoes. A wetsuit and a helmet are provided for optimal comfort.


      Enjoy an unusual activity in the great outdoors

      Aquarando with NCKD is a wonderful nature activity to do 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 preserved natural setting not to be missed!


      Little sister of Canyoning , this fun and refreshing hike is accessible to all. Come and discover with your feet in the water and sometimes more, a chlorophyll universe , without handling ropes.

      Chef's suggestion: A water stroll for the curious and contemplative . An original immersion in the river, at your own pace between walking, swimming and jumping, always avoidable. Contact us to check the water levels and the feasibility of the outing for your comfort and safety. Too much or not enough water, switch to the mini-raft, cano-raft and kayak-raft supports, much more fun.

    We organized a 2.5-hour kayaking rafting trip at the end of October. It was a great experience for me, who had previously done river kayaking, and for my friend, a novice. Great scenery, great sensations, photos taken, and it was super easy to come from Bayonne directly by TER to the meeting point.

    A great outing with Jakes, who took the time to explain kayak rafting to us. I recommend it if you're looking for a trip on the Nive.
