How to choose

All 3 rafting tours on the Neste d'Aure sit within a tight 57,59 € range and are open to all fitness levels. Tour 0 with Pyrénées Trekking runs 2h to 3h and costs 57 €, giving you the longest time on the water for the lowest price. Tours 1 and 2, both run by Office des sports de Montagne from the Base d'eaux vives in Bazus-Aure, are fixed at 2h and priced at 58 € and 59 € respectively. The 1 € gap between tours 1 and 2 likely reflects a minor packaging difference. If maximising your time on the Neste rapids matters, Tour 0 is the clear pick. If you prefer the structured setup of a dedicated whitewater base, go with Tour 1.

Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment on the Neste d'Aure?
The Neste d'Aure runs through the Pyrenean foothills, and the biggest adrenaline hit comes when the raft hits the first set of rapids after the put-in. Your guide will coach you through it, but expect to get soaked.
Do I need rafting experience to join?
No. All three tours are listed as 'Everybody welcome', meaning zero prior experience is required. Just show up ready to paddle.
How cold is the water?
The Neste d'Aure is fed by Pyrenean snowmelt, so the water stays cold even in summer. A wetsuit is provided by the operator. Expect a serious temperature shock on first contact.
When is the best time to raft in Saint-Lary-Soulan?
The season runs from May to September. Early in the season (May,June), snowmelt boosts the flow and cranks up the intensity. By August the river mellows slightly, making it a better window if you're bringing kids.
Are the tours guided in English?
Yes. All three tours offer instruction and safety briefings in both French and English.
