Private RIB Boat Trip around Fort Boyard and the Islands of Aix and Oléron

About the Activity

What to Expect

With Les Croisières Oléronaises, you can choose among two private boat trips we offer and that will take you to the famous Fort Boyard and to see the islands of Aix and Oléron. Both tours are conducted on a modern, comfortable RIB boat that provides a smooth and enjoyable ride. And both are ideal for families or groups of friends who want to create amazing memories together.

The first option is a one-hour tour starting from Boyardville. You will circle around the iconic Fort Boyard and get a close view of this historic fortress in the sea. The tour will then continue to the picturesque Island of Aix, offering splendid views and the chance to take some great photos.

The second option is a more extensive six-hour tour departing from La Cotinière. This tour also includes the trip to Fort Boyard before heading to the Island of Aix where you will have a 3-hour stopover. On site, you will be able to explore the island's charming streets, visit its museums, or relax on its beaches. During this journey, you will pass by several must-see sights of Oléron Island such as the Pointe de Chassiron, the Rocher d'Antioche, and the Pont d'Oléron, each offering unique landscapes and history.
