2-Day Water Pack, Kayak & Rafting – Pont de Suert
The same river, two completely different faces. You explore it by kayak, paddling slowly across the Escales Reservoir between rock walls and turquoise water. Then you descend it by raft, paddles in the water and the current setting the pace.
No previous experience needed, from age 6, with RocRoi guides throughout.
- Kayak crossing on the Escales Reservoir, flat water
- Rafting on the Noguera Ribagorçana, white water
- Same river, two sensations, one Pyrenees

The 2-Day Water Pack Experience in the Pyrenees
The Noguera Ribagorçana river cuts through the central Pyrenees from north to south, and this two-day pack lets you experience it in its two most contrasting states: peaceful and powerful.
On one of the two days, the Escales Reservoir awaits you, between El Pont de Suert (Lleida) and Bonansa (Huesca). You will step into a stable kayak, your guide will cover the basics in just a few minutes, and from there you paddle at your own pace across perfectly calm water. The scenery does the rest: vertical walls over 500 metres high, the Congost de l'Aulet gorge, clear turquoise water, birds of prey nesting in the rock and, if water levels allow, the submerged ruins of the village of Aulet.
The other day, you take on the river. Rafting on the Noguera Ribagorçana near El Pont de Suert is the complete opposite: a raft, paddles, current and the first rapids of the Catalan Pyrenees. The RocRoi team kits you out, briefs you and leads you on a 1h30 descent, with dynamic sections, rest stops and optional jumps for those who want more.
One experience across two consecutive days, with the water and the Pyrenees centre stage. It never quite repeats itself!
What the experience feels like
Families: the calm kayaking hooks the little ones from the first stroke; the rafting reminds them the Pyrenees can also push back. Two perfect days to share from age 6.
Couples: paddling together in silence on day one and laughing together in the rapids on day two. Few getaways combine calm and excitement this well in a single weekend.
Groups of friends: the kayak invites exploration and the rafting sparks competition. Two days, two completely different experiences for a group that wants more than a single activity.

FAQs
Do I need previous experience in kayaking or rafting?
No. Neither activity requires prior technical knowledge. Both start with a full briefing and include a certified RocRoi guide throughout.
Are the two meeting points far apart?
No. The kayak departs from the Escales rest area in Bonansa (Huesca) and the rafting from the RocRoi ECEM base in El Pont de Suert (Lleida). The two points are less than 30 minutes apart by car, so you can stay in either village or anywhere in between.
Can we do this pack with young children?
Yes. Kayaking on the Escales Reservoir is suitable from age 6 with an adult, and rafting from age 5–6 depending on water levels. It is one of the most family-friendly packs in the Pyrenees.
Is accommodation included?
No. The pack covers both guided activities with all equipment. Both Bonansa and El Pont de Suert have accommodation options nearby — we are happy to point you in the right direction.
What happens if weather prevents one of the activities?
If conditions are not safe, RocRoi will notify you in advance and offer a date change, an equivalent alternative activity, or a refund of the relevant amount in line with the current cancellation policy.
