Begi Bistan means “within sight” in Basque, but we offer much more than just tours and activities in Gipuzkoa. We offer you the heart of this spectacular corner of the Basque Country, so you can discover our land without rushing, taking the time to learn, understand, and appreciate the small details and savor the moment with us.
The most enjoyable proposals
Kayak and Stand Up Paddle
Descend the Oria River by kayak or SUP and immerse yourself in its crystal-clear waters surrounded by nature.
Rowing in traditional trainera
Experience the experience of rowing on traditional 12-meter-long traineras. Traineras were once dedicated to inshore fishing. The crew who returned to port first knew they could sell their catch for a better price, making it a very competitive job. Come row and compete with your crew to see who could reach the finish line first.
Guided boat trips in the Elkano Territory
Using our maritime heritage and the figure of Elkano as a common thread, these tours bring you closer to our past and present through the figure of Elkano, a Basque sailor who completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth in human history. During the voyages, you'll hear the story of Elkano's expedition and learn about the Basque Country's maritime past, which led to the development of a naval industry that was one of the most advanced until the 18th century.
Course, Visits and Study Tour Elkano Territory
Synchronous and scheduled online sessions to learn about the Magellan-Elcano expedition. Learn from an expert on the subject, with in-depth knowledge of this historical event, and enjoy additional reading material and the opportunity to complete the learning experience with our guided tours and week-long study tours, or choose one of these three experiences independently.
Team Building
These activities are aimed at companies that value their most important asset: the personal and professional growth of the entire team. The outdoor activities we offer will help your group members define themselves as a true team. They focus on developing skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and other relational and personal aspects to complement their professional knowledge.

Opinions
A friend invited me to go on the Elkano Territory trip, and it was fantastic, a real discovery. Violetta's explanations, which seemed like she'd experienced the adventures she told us about, were top-notch. We had good sea conditions, so everything was perfect. I recommend it and hope to do another experience with them this summer.
A wonderful experience. The explanations were comprehensive and very enjoyable. A pleasant visit to the past.
I'd like to clarify that I didn't take one of their tours; I only rented a single-person kayak to paddle down the river. However, I was very satisfied with the service they received: they contacted me beforehand to confirm everything, and when I noticed a mistake with my payment the next day, they responded immediately. I'll definitely come back; I loved the experience.
