Sunset Boat Trip in the Arcachon Basin

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.
