About the Activity
What to Expect
Embark on a serene sunset journey across the stunning Arcachon Basin with our exclusive boat tour. Departing from the port of Arcachon, you will glide over the tranquil waters, soaking in the beauty of the setting sun. With a local captain steering the vessel, you can relax and enjoy the intimate atmosphere aboard our semi-private boat, which comfortably accommodates up to 9 passengers. A complimentary glass of wine is included to enhance your experience, with the option to add more refreshments.
Your adventure begins with a visit to the Île aux Oiseaux, where you will admire the iconic cabanes tchanquées, the charming stilt houses that epitomize the region's unique architecture. Depending on the tides, you will also have the opportunity to discover the Banc de Sable, a natural site of breathtaking beauty offering an incredible view of the vastness of the Bassin. The departure is about one hour before sunset, giving you time to relax and enjoy the conviviality of the moment in a calm and warm atmosphere.

Chloe · Couple
Belgium · August 2025What a wonderful time with Chris as captain!
Chris contacted us a few days beforehand to suggest adapting the program to suit the sunset.
A warm welcome on the pontoon and a small glass of wine on board to begin the trip.
He introduced us to the bay, the art of oyster farming, and the unique features of life in Arcachon Bay.
A magical moment with the sunset near the huts on stilts.
I 100% recommend this activity, especially at the beginning of your stay to discover the bay in a different way.
Thank you, Chris, for this experience.

France · August 2025Great boat ride. Very nice boat. Very intimate considering the maximum number of passengers. Captain Chris is very kind and attentive. He also shares information about the dock. A small glass of wine on board is offered for those who wish and the possibility of bringing your own drinks and food which is a real plus (possibility of ordering on the boat too). Clear and easy access to the pontoon for the meeting.
