Adventure Holidays

Argeles sur Mer - spectacular location for exciting watersports and excursions

Nestled on the French side of the Pyrenees and sheltered by the Alberes Mountains, Argeles sur Mer is a stunning adventure destination for UK schools.

The town itself ideally fits our specification of being large enough to keep your students entertained, but small enough for you to keep control. Free time attractions include markets, fun fair, bustling shopping areas,  and plenty of cafes. For more information visit www.argeles-sur-mer.com.

At Argeles we offer a comprehensive water sports programme in a safe environment, delivered by our team of fully qualified Voyager instructors. Like all our watersports centres, Argeles was selected because of the ability to deliver a full day of watersports activities. Our team also deliver a full programme of evening entertainments, keeping your students occupied from dawn to dusk.

Our watersports programme includes sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, raft-building and snorkelling, plus a Pyrenees river descent. Our half day sessions ensure your students get more than a taster.

Thanks to its great location, Argeles also boasts a superb selection of local excursions, including the Dali museum in Figueres and all the attractions of Barcelona, plus adrenalin led excursions such as the  man-made canyoning park and tree-tops activity park in Argeles itself, plus a number of local water parks.

Voyager offers a choice of accommodation in Argeles, to suit different budgets and requirements. We have two school villages in the Taxo Les Pins caravan park which has a variety of on-site facilities including swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, football pitches, restaurant and shop. We also offer accommodation in well appointed 2 star hotels and local aparthotels.

Finally, because of its excellent links to the continental motorway system, Calais is only 17 hours away and for those who prefer to fly, Argeles is particularly well served by low cost airlines flying into Gerona, Perpignan, Carcassonne, Montpellier and Barcelona.
