Step by Step

By taking this private excursion to Arcachon and the Dune de Pilat from Bordeaux, you will experience an unforgettable journey through a French bay that vibrates to the rhythm of the seasons.

You will travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to a paradisiacal landscape of beaches, oyster harbours and charming villages, with a private driver and guide who will enlighten you on the customs of the locals.

You will visit the Rue du Port de L'arros, a colourful port where oysters, one of the simplest and most delicious delicacies of the region's gastronomy, are traditionally farmed. You can taste the oysters and accompany them with a glass of white wine, but tasting is not included.

You will continue your adventure to the Pilat Dune, where a natural environment of desert sand, flanked by a pine forest and the depths of the ocean meet on the peninsula.

You can climb to the top of the highest dune in Europe, which is about 100 metres high, and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay, where you will appreciate its beautiful natural biodiversity.

Further inland in Arcachon, you will have the opportunity to walk with your private guide through the historic centre of the town, where places such as the Ville d'Hiver and the Parc Moro, overflowing with beautiful timeless villas, stand out.

If you would like to have lunch, sample snacks or take a boat trip along the coast, please let us know at the time of booking and the tour team will organise the activities for you.

    The views of the village looked like something out of a finely painted picture, even the clouds seemed unreal.

    Be prepared to climb the dune. It's amazing but it's a bit of a climb.
