      With NCKD: thrilling whitewater adventures

      A total immersion in the rapids of the Nive River. Hydrospeeding, 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 tackles the rapids in total immersion. It's an ideal experience for those seeking an adrenaline rush in the heart of nature.


      A technical and fun water sport

      Hydrospeeding offers a personal and technical experience. With guidance from instructors, participants learn to use their board to navigate with precision, avoid obstacles, and play with the waves. Mastering balance and trajectory becomes a captivating challenge, adding a sporting dimension to this activity.


      A perfect river for learning hydrospeeding in the Basque Country

      The Nive River, with its varied sections, is an ideal playground for beginners to try hydrospeeding. Alternating between powerful rapids and calmer stretches, it allows swimmers to enjoy both thrills and moments of contemplation. The lush, 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 watersports and adrenaline enthusiasts. With professional instructors and top-quality equipment, this activity guarantees maximum thrills in complete safety.


      Chef's suggestions : With summer-like water levels, an introductory session is still possible. For the more athletic, contact us to check the current water level. If the water isn't high enough for a fun whitewater activity, switch to Mini-rafting, Cano-rafting, or Kayak-rafting. Alternatively, wait for rain.

    Nous avons pu faire une session de Kano Raft encadré par Jakes. 2 eme fois pour nous mais en Rafting la dernière fois. Sensations différentes mais tout aussi amusantes et fortes 🙂 Super moment, avec en prime quelques sauts et démonstration de sensations dans l’eau. Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité, avec de bonnes explications rassurantes et du très bon matériel. Si vous êtes débutant et frileux, n’hésitez surtout pas vous serez ravis à la fin. Merci encore Jakes pour ces 2h30 sur l’eau 🙏
