Arcachon Boat Tour & Oyster Tasting Full Day Tour

Embark on a private boat excursion across the shimmering waters of Arcachon Bay, one of France’s most captivating maritime treasures. Guided by your local skipper, navigate through tranquil channels bordered by oyster beds, sandy islands, and wooden fishing huts that embody the authentic spirit of the Basin. Sail past the famous cabanes tchanquées on Birds’ Island and continue toward the Cap Ferret Peninsula, where colorful oyster ports and picturesque villages reflect the charm of local coastal life.

As you glide along the bay, indulge in a tasting of freshly shucked oysters paired with a chilled glass of white wine, served on board against a backdrop of sea and sky. The delicate flavors of the ocean, the crispness of the wine, and the gentle sea breeze merge into an experience that captures the essence of southwest France: elegant, simple, and deeply connected to nature.

After your time on the water, savor a leisurely lunch at a seaside restaurant, where grilled fish, mussels, and seafood platters celebrate the region’s culinary traditions. The relaxed rhythm of Arcachon life unfolds as you dine with views of the coastline, offering the perfect continuation of your coastal escape.

Conclude your day with a visit to the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune. Climb to its summit for a panoramic view over the Atlantic Ocean, the Banc d’Arguin, and the vast Landes forest. This awe-inspiring landscape provides a spectacular finale to a day devoted to nature, flavor, and the refined art de vivre of Arcachon Bay.
