I participated in rafting here on Wednesday 19/06/2024 with my study abroad peers from our respective colleges. The reason for my low rating is because I gained the impression that those working at this facility are not welcoming to foreigners. They could be heard several times making snide remarks about us in French assuming that we couldn’t understand them. Even the receptionist left her station to record and gawk which was not only disrespectful and rude but very unprofessional. They were not willing to assist and did a poor job of explaining. For several of us, we have not been on a small boat or raft. Their lack of interest in attempting to better explain was concerning. One of the instructors who participated in the program also felt that more instruction was needed and asked for more help. The rafting instructor sarcastically remarked “ tell them to put the paddle in the water”. I became frustrated as they appeared to have no interest in helping us but rather to behave asininely and heckle. This is not a place where I...

Just finished the hydrospeed activity, and I have to say that the experience was superb. The first 30 min were to learn all the basics and then they let us go by ourselves. The instructors were extremely nice, as they translated everything just for us as we don't speak any french. Super charismatic guys as well. You can also just hang around the place where the activities are located, watching people do them or just chill by yourself.Would recommend to everyone who likes sports and a boost...

Le Parc d’eaux vives de Pau, aujourd’hui appelé Parc Aquasports, est un lieu emblématique qui allie nature, sport et sensations fortes. Créé par le champion olympique Tony Estanguet, ce site exceptionnel est unique en France : il offre un circuit artificiel en boucle, alimenté par les eaux du gave de Pau, avec un tapis roulant de remorquage permettant d’enchaîner les descentes sans effort. Un concept innovant, pensé pour l'entraînement de haut niveau… et accessible au grand public !
C’est ici que les plus grands champions français de canoë-kayak viennent s'entraîner. On y croise régulièrement des athlètes de l’équipe de France, preuve du prestige et de la technicité du lieu.
Mais le Parc ne se limite pas à l’élite : rafting, canoë, hydrospeed… les activités sont ouvertes à tous, à des tarifs raisonnables, que l’on soit amateur de sensations ou simple curieux en quête de fraîcheur.
L’accueil est particulièrement chaleureux, avec un Jason aux petits soins, qui met tout en œuvre pour que chacun se sente bienvenu. Les moniteurs sportifs, notamment Elyot et Antoine, sont à la fois dynamiques, pédagogues et très attentifs à la sécurité. Leur bonne humeur et leur professionnalisme rendent l’expérience encore plus agréable.
En somme, un lieu rare, à la fois haut lieu de performance et de loisir, où l’on peut vivre une aventure sportive inoubliable dans un cadre naturel superbe. À découvrir absolument si vous êtes de...
