About the Activity

What to Expect

If you are eager to explore the Bassin d'Arcachon, join us for a private motorboat trip around the Île aux Oiseaux and along the Cap Ferret Peninsula. Starting from the harbour, our first stop is the Île aux Oiseaux, where you can marvel at the famous cabanes tchanquées. This quiet island is a sanctuary for many bird species, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.

Next, we will cruise leisurely down the Cap Ferret coastline, offering views of the various oyster-farming villages along the peninsula as far as Belisaire at least. As we pass, you will get a glimpse of the towering Dune du Pilat in the distance, Europe's highest sand dune, which is an impressive sight.

On our return journey, we will sail past the iconic spots of Le Moulleau, and Pereire, each offering their own unique coastal charm. Our boat, designed for a maximum of 9 passengers, ensures a gentle and relaxing ride. You also have the option to customize your trip, choosing your departure time, even a sunset cruise, and add an aperitif to sample local specialties. This tour is ideal for groups wanting to discover the Bassin d'Arcachon in a private setting.

Chris, our captain, was very accommodating, nice and polite. We had booked a private boat tour as a couple and got it. He explained his surroundings very well. He also prefers a balanced, considerate driving style. We felt very comfortable. The meeting at the gate was also totally uncomplicated. We were very impressed and can only recommend it. By the way, the telephone support is unique. That is SERVICE. Thank you
