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.
We will get into the organisation's van that will take us to the starting point of the route: the Balada jetty. Once there, we will receive the equipment (waistcoat, kayak and paddle) and we will have a brief briefing on how to paddle, safety rules and the planned route. It is a self-guided route, but we will have assistance if necessary along the way.
We will start paddling upstream towards the island of Sapinya, surrounded by lush vegetation and known for its great biodiversity. After going around it, we will descend along the Ebro until we reach the island of Gràcia, bordering its right bank, the richest in landscape and fauna.
The complete route covers approximately 8 km and does not include stops, as the itinerary is long and there are no points suitable for swimming without a guide. We will paddle back to the starting point after about 2 and a half hours in the waters of the Ebro.
The total duration of the experience is approximately 3 hours.
