Private Motorboat Trip to the Île aux Oiseaux and Cap Ferret

About the Activity

What to Expect

We welcome you aboard our motorboat for a private trip to the must-see sights of the Arcachon Basin, such as the cabanes tchanquées and Île aux Oiseaux. This two-hour private tour can be scheduled at any time of the day, according to your preference, even at sunset.

Our journey begins with a gentle cruise around Île aux Oiseaux, where you will have the chance to see the famous cabanes tchanquées, iconic structures of the basin. Continuing west, you will catch a glimpse of the Cap Ferret Peninsula, a stunning area known for its scenic views and serene beaches. In the distance, you can also see the majestic Dune du Pilat, a breathtaking natural spectacle.

As we make our return, we will navigate through the Courbey, either passing between the oyster farms or along the Arcachon seafront, providing a unique perspective of the local marine culture. Our motorboat can accommodate up to 9 passengers and ensures a smooth cruise, making it ideal for families or groups of friends. You are welcome to bring your own snacks, or the captain can arrange an aperitif for you.

You also have the option to book a tasting experience for €15 per person to make your experience even more special. It includes six oysters and a glass of white wine per person.
