Details
Our boat trip in the Bay of Loia to Fontarabie will offer you a wonderful guided tour along the Basque coast! Departing from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, we will embark on a journey to discover the preserved jewel of the Basque coastline, the Bay of Loia, after observing the cliffs of the corniche and Hendaye, with the backdrop of the Abbadia Castle.
Next, we will set sail towards Hendaye, the last French town before Fontarabie, the first in Spain, tracing the Bidassoa River, a natural border. Fontarabie hosts a picturesque fishing port, while the Jaizkibel massif offers clear waters near Amuitz Island, perfect for a swimming stop for those interested. You can also discover the underwater world thanks to the snorkeling equipment we have onboard.
On our return, we will cruise along the Basque corniche between Hendaye and Ciboure, preserved and inaccessible by land. We'll have the chance to admire the Flysch cliffs from the sea before making a stop at the port of Socoa, dominated by its historic fort, a witness to a captivating past. Finally, we will conclude our excursion by returning to the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where you can reminisce about this unforgettable day spent exploring the beauty and authenticity of the Basque coast.Highlights
