Departure: Port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz
A legendary port of the Basque Country, where fishing remains the main activity to this day.
2
La Corniche Basque
We will follow the Basque Corniche, a protected natural area located between Hendaye and Ciboure.
Today, the hiking trail that winds along these cliffs is closed to the public due to its fragility — but from the sea, we’ll have the unique opportunity to admire the impressive Flysch cliffs from a privileged perspective.
3
Chateau Observatoire Abbadia
You’ll discover the Bay of Loya, a hidden gem of the Basque coast, nestled between the cliffs of the Corniche and Hendaye, and overlooked by the majestic Château d’Abbadia.
4
Rochers des deux Jumeaux
Below the château, we’ll admire the “Deux Jumeaux” — two iconic sea stacks standing like sentinels facing the ocean. These natural formations have withstood the relentless force of the sea over time.
5
Hondarribia
Hondarribia is home to a small fishing port that remains one of the most important in the Basque Country.
6
Jaizkibel
This is also where the Jaizkibel mountain range begins, home to the “Bay of Pigs” and Amuitz Island, a stunning area where the water is often crystal clear and calm. We'll make a short swimming stop here for those who wish to take a dip. (Snorkeling equipment available on board.)
15 minutes
7
Fort de Socoa
We’ll make a short detour to the port of Socoa, overlooked by its historic fort — a true treasure of the Basque Country and a witness to its rich and captivating history.
