Private Half Day Motorboat Trip to the Dune of Pilat and the Banc d'Arguin

About the Activity

What to Expect

We offer you a half-day exploration of the Arcachon Basin with our private motorboat trip to the Dune of Pilat and the Banc d'Arguin. Departing from the port of Arcachon, we will head south, hugging the coast and taking in its impressive landscapes. Our local captain, an expert in the region, will ensure you experience the best sights and can even prepare snacks for you at an additional cost.

On reaching the Banc d'Arguin near the Dune of Pilat, you will have the opportunity to cool off in the crystal-clear waters. This spot is perfect for a refreshing swim and offers stunning views of the surrounding sandbanks and dunes. Depending on the tides, our return journey will take us past the Bernet Banks and possibly the Île aux Oiseaux, known for its rich birdlife and picturesque setting.

Our boat can comfortably accommodate up to 9 passengers, ensuring a gentle and tranquil trip. You can choose to organise your trip at any time, even up to sunset, making this an ideal option for families or groups of friends looking to explore the natural beauty of the Arcachon Basin.
