What to expect

Come onboard our authentic pinnace for a private boat trip departing from Arcachon that will take us around Île aux Oiseaux with a stopover. Our journey begins with a scenic cruise towards the iconic Île aux Oiseaux, a must-see spot in the region. Here, you will have the chance to admire the unique 'cabanes tchanquées', which are traditional stilt houses that offer a great photo opportunity. As we circle the island, you will enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding waters and the vibrant birdlife that call this area home.

During the trip, we will make a special stop for a ‘mooring break’ where you can indulge in an aperitif or savour fresh oysters (to pre-order) in one of the charming cabins. This is a perfect moment to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. You are welcome to bring your own picnic or opt to order local specialities to enhance your experience. Our pinnace provides a comfortable and intimate setting, ensuring you have a memorable and leisurely day on the water.
