During the drive, your guide/driver will share insights about the Arcachon Bay: its history, hidden gems, local anecdotes, and the fascinating oyster farming tradition. Then, it’s out on the water, right in the heart of the bay, that you will truly experience its beauty and unique atmosphere while cruising along its scenic coastline.

The Ville d’Hiver (Winter Town) of Arcachon is renowned for its elegant 19th-century villas, each with its own unique architecture and charm. Strolling through this peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood feels like stepping back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city’s rich history and refined past.

From the comfort of your traditional pinasse, you will admire the iconic tip of Cap Ferret, where the ocean meets the bay. We will then dock in the charming village of L’Herbe, a picture-perfect and authentic fishing hamlet. Here, you will enjoy a true local experience with a fresh oyster tasting, just like the Ferret-Capiens do; simple, convivial, and right by the water.

At the Dune du Pilat, you will climb the highest sand dune in Europe and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean, the Arcachon Bay, and the vast Landes forest. Take your time at the top to soak in the scenery, walk along the ridge, and capture unforgettable photos of this unique natural wonder.
