Full description
Two activities in one: the perfect solution for exploring the Ebro.
This route combines cycling and kayaking to explore the most authentic part of the Delta, a mixed experience that first takes you along the Sirga path, through rice fields, and then by kayak along the river environment of the Illa de Gràcia .
A different way to explore the Ebro: active, calm and perfect to connect with the landscape at your own pace. Fancy pedalling and paddling?
What we will do
The appointment will be 15 minutes before the booking time at the Sant Jaume d'Enveja jetty. A monitor will be waiting for us there to explain how the experience will take place and give us the bikes to start the first part of the route .
We will cycle for about 15 minutes along the old towpath, a dirt track that runs through rice fields and immerses us in the agricultural landscape of the Delta. After about 2 km, our destination will be the Balada jetty, opposite the Illa de Gràcia. A member of the team will pick up the bikes and give us the kayak, paddle and life jacket.
After a brief briefing on paddling technique and safety rules, we will get into the kayaks to continue the adventure along the river. We will paddle along the right bank of the Illa de Gràcia, surrounded by the impressive riverside vegetation and fauna of the Ebro Delta Natural Park.
After approximately 1 hour we will arrive at the starting point at the Sant Jaume jetty . It is a self-guided route, but we will have assistance if necessary along the way .
The activity will last between 1 hour and a half and 2 hours.
