Montpellier Horse Riding Tours: 4 to Book

1.Montpellier : Birdwatching by kayak in the Camargue

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 39 reviews · 2 hours · from $76Our pick

Paddle a stable, open kayak through a shallow Camargue lagoon near Montpellier with a state-certified guide. Over two hours, you’ll look for flamingos, herons, egrets, mullets, and kingfishers, learn about fishing and local ecology, and pause for sunset views.

“It was ok: too many people in the group, a lot of waiting for activity and directions (people that couldn’t kajak), nice guides, not much wildlife, i think 50 euros is too much for 2hrs, however there was the possibility to stay till dark and have a picnic, but we didn’t know about this till the start of the tour and had to be somewhere right after.”

“Mi è piaciuto il fatto di essere un piccolo gruppo (eravamo in 8) e la pausa pranzo libera in forma di picnic proposta nel Centro visitatori della riserva naturale”

3.Small group half day Camargue and Aigues Mortes tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $82

Travel from Montpellier in a group of no more than eight to explore walled Aigues-Mortes and the Camargue marshes. Guides such as David and Marc bring local insight, while the Tour Carbonnière adds broad views. The half-day outing is offered in English and costs $82.21 per person.

“If you don't want to get the train to Aigues Mortes and don't have much time this is a good opportunity to visit with a guide. Drawback is that you walk round in a group so no time to do your own thing - would be better with free time and a meeting point for a drink. But we were shown the key sites and churches and stopped on the return to climb a medieval tower for amazing views!”
