Our Story
Ohay Canoë Kayak is a family-owned business run by locals who grew up paddling the Loire River. From childhood, the team developed a deep connection with the river and its surroundings. This passion drives their mission to offer visitors authentic, safe, and unforgettable experiences that showcase the Loire’s natural beauty with respect and care.
A Committed Local Team
Behind Ohay is a committed team of guides, coordinators, and Loire enthusiasts, all from the region. Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, they adapt to every group, whether families, schools, companies, or travelers from abroad, making each adventure a personal and meaningful discovery.
The Loire, a Living Heritage
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Loire is Europe’s last wild river.
Its sandbanks, islands, birds, and light… It changes every day, every season.
Paddling down the Loire means gliding through a rich, fragile, and deeply inspiring ecosystem.

We believe that enjoying nature also means protecting it.
Our concrete actions:
- No waste left behind
