      With NCKD: whitewater thrills

      A total immersion in the rapids of the Nive. Hydrospeed, also known as whitewater swimming, is one of the intense and exciting activities offered by NCKD in Itxassou. Equipped with a float and fins, each participant lets themselves be carried by the current and faces the rapids in total immersion. It's an ideal experience for those looking for an adrenaline rush in the great outdoors.


      A technical and fun water sport

      Hydrospeed offers a personal and technical experience. With the guidance of instructors, participants learn to use their float to navigate with precision, dodge obstacles, and play with the waves. Mastering balance and trajectories becomes a captivating challenge, adding a sporting dimension to this activity.


      A perfect river for learning hydrospeed in the Basque Country

      The Nive, with its varied sections, is an ideal playground for beginners to hydrospeed. Alternating between powerful rapids and calmer areas, it allows swimmers to enjoy both thrills and moments of contemplation. The green and unspoiled natural setting adds a magical touch to the experience.


      Book your hydrospeed descent with NCKD

      Want to push your limits and experience a unique adventure? Hydrospeeding with NCKD in Itxassou is an experience not to be missed for water sports and adrenaline enthusiasts. With professional supervision and quality equipment, this activity guarantees maximum thrills in complete safety.


      Chef's Suggestions: With summer water levels, an introduction is still possible. For the more athletic, contact us to inquire about the current water level. If there's not enough water to stay on a fun whitewater activity, switch to mini-rafting, canoe-rafting, or kayak-rafting. Another option is to wait for the rain.

    A very good group experience, we laughed a lot, it was supervised and the instructor offered us fun exercises during the trip. Beautiful river, some slightly technical rapids, adrenaline and good humor as the watchwords

    Great descent today with two families. Jakes is really there to make sure we have a great time and doesn't count his time or his smile. A lovely moment! Ps: we still understood that Tony Estanguet has a real job and that kayaking can't be improvised ;-)
