Guidekin's take

A private day at the Arcachon Bay with a guide who climbs the Dune du Pilat with you, then the belvedere over the bird island and oyster farms and a stop on the port for oysters or shrimps, with a bakery stop for anyone who skips shellfish.

Pickup at your accommodation and water are in the price, a full lunch is not. 4.95 from 56 reviews.

In our comparison: #14 of 35 in Day Trips from Bordeaux, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
