About the experience

Take the time to escape and let the rhythm of the bay guide you through its most beautiful landscapes.

This 4-hour excursion is an invitation to contemplation, a precious interlude between sea and sand, between sky and pine forest.

Let yourself be carried away by the changing light, the lapping of the water, and the unique beauty of the Arcachon coast.

The tour departs from Arcachon, along its elegant seafront. We pass the beaches of Pereire and Moulleau, then the Côte du Pyla, where the iconic jetties punctuate the coastline. Gradually, the majestic Dune of Pilat reveals itself, towering over the bay from a height of 100 meters.

Opposite, the Banc d'Arguin forms a string of sand between the bay and the ocean: an exceptional place to take a break for a swim, walk barefoot in the sand, or simply admire the horizon. The return trip can be made either by the same route or by going upstream via the Bernet Sandbanks, the Cap Ferret Peninsula, and Bird Island, depending on the tide and your preferences.

This excursion is distinguished by its flexibility and the richness of the landscapes crossed. It allows you to discover both the elegance of the town of Arcachon and the raw nature of the bay's wilder areas. On board, everything is designed for your comfort: a stable boat, a flexible itinerary, and a skipper attentive to the desired atmosphere, whether peaceful or punctuated with swimming stops.

Unlike standardized tours, this excursion adapts to your wishes and the weather, for an authentic experience. The calm of the ocean, the proximity of the dunes, the nearby oyster farming villages... everything combines to make this outing a moment of pure relaxation.

And to complete the experience, you can add our gourmet extras to your excursion (order in advance):
– 6 oysters: €13
– 12 oysters: €21
– Charcuterie or cheese platter: €12/person
– Seafood platter (from): €42
– Bottle of wine: €18
– Bottle of champagne: €35

    A lovely morning trip on the Arcachon Bay with a very friendly skipper who puts you at ease right away! For our first boat trip, my children and I loved it. Christophe kindly answers the children's questions, is concerned about the safety of his passengers, and is inexhaustible about the Bay, which he knows like the back of his hand. A wonderful experience. Julie, Adam, and Joan

    Christophe was an excellent captain, with vast knowledge of the Arcachon basin area and it's history. He gave us a guided tour in English around the basin as he told us many facts about the local buildings and natural landscape. The boat was beautiful and well equipped, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on board, as well as off the boat when Christophe stopped to allow us to swim for a while in the shallow warm water. I highly recommend everyone to take the tour with Christophe, it was excellent value for money and he is a very friendly and pleasant captain. Thank you Christophe

    We are a family of seven and spent an afternoon on the basin with Christophe on his boat. We took a walk to the Tchanquées cabins, then followed the coast to Cap-Ferret via Bird Island, and ended with a swim on the Banc d'Arguin. Christophe is super nice. He shared his love of the basin with us by showing us historical places and telling us local anecdotes. It was really great. We were super comfortable on his boat and had a great afternoon. I highly recommend this trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
