From the guide

I offer an unique excursion at the Arcachon Bay.

Welcome to the tallest sand dune in Europe, you will enjoy the wonderfull view of Landaise Forest, Cap Ferret, Ocean and the Bay.

The guide stay with you during the Dune and take time with each person to enjoy the best.

After the Dune, Stop to the belvedere tour in Arcachon to enjoy the panoramic view of the birds island, oysters farmers and Arcachon town.

A Professional guide and the driver are at your service.
Finish to the La Teste-de-Buch port, it is a picturesque and authentic place protected from mass tourism
You are all the time with a guide and during the Oysters Tasting you have a choice of 6, 9 or 12 Oysters per person and a glass of rosé or white wine.
If you don't like Oysters we have some shrimps, porc pâté or winkle.
It's a family atmosphere and professional.
