Enjoy Bardenas

Enjoy Bardenas is an active and cultural tourism company in the Bardenas Reales of Navarre, registered in the Navarre Tourism Register under number UETAC067. Its outings are always private, for a single group, in a seven-seat air-conditioned 4x4, and its idea is that a guided tour does not have to be boring: dynamic routes, with stops and short walks, and great respect for the park's natural heritage.

Who guides

The guide who presents the company is Javier, from Cadreita, in the Ribera of Navarre. He is trained as a technician in physical and sporting activities in the natural environment, a senior technician in tourist guidance, information and assistance, in travel agencies and event management and in tourist accommodation, as well as a leisure instructor with first aid and basic life support. He guides in Spanish, French and English.

What routes it does

• Bardena Blanca: about three hours by 4x4 through the most visited area. It costs €160 for the group.
• Bardenas Reales: the most complete route, of about four hours, which combines the Bardena Blanca and the Negra, with viewpoints, film and series locations, transhumance and steppe birds and birds of prey such as the griffon vulture or golden eagle. It costs €230 for up to four people and €10 for each extra person, with a maximum of two.
• Sunset in the Bardenas: about two and a half hours at the end of the day, for €150.
• Hiking: guided walks on foot, half or full, for €180 and €250 for up to six people, and hiking and 4x4 combinations through the Bardena Blanca or the Negra for €300. They run all year.

It also organises cultural visits, for example to Tudela or to the Marqués de Montecierzo winery, and guides travel agency coach groups.

How it works

They pick you up at your accommodation or in the village if it is within 25 km of the park, and the route time starts counting when you get into the car. The guide stops at each point to explain the geology, wildlife and history and leave time for photos; you walk a little between stops. The price includes the 4x4 with the guide, pick-up, a drink and insurance. The company presents the routes as comfortable for children and older people. You must always follow the guide's instructions and the natural park's rules: respect the geological formations and do not damage flora or fauna.
