Motorboat Trip in the Arcachon Basin with Live Comments

About the Activity

What to Expect

Discover the Arcachon Basin with our motorboat trip of 2h30 minutes with live comments. The adventure begins as you depart from the port of Arcachon, gliding smoothly over the waters. With a local captain at the helm, you can sit back and enjoy the semi-private atmosphere of our sleek and comfortable boat, accommodating up to 9 passengers. Refreshments can be added to your trip.

One of the first sights you will encounter is the Île aux Oiseaux, famous for its lovely cabanes tchanquées. These iconic stilt houses are a must-see, offering a glimpse into the unique local architecture. You will also get to see the Dune of Pilat in the background and the oyster farms very close by. Next, you will pass by the Cap Ferret Peninsula, a beautiful stretch of land known for its scenic beauty and rich marine life.

Finally, we will make our return trip to the starting point with new, unforgettable memories as we cruise along the Arcachon seafront.
