A wonderful day of discovery. - We enjoyed this tour and learned so much from our knowledgeable and entertaining guide Kvin. The views from the top of the Dune du Pilat were breathtaking. Eating freshly harvested oysters just a few feet from the seashore and the oyster fishing boats was an appreciated special part of the tour. Kvin was attentive and ensured we had a wonderful outing discovering the fascinating area that is so close to Bordeaux and yet so very different from Bordeaux.

Amazing experience - The dunes were incredibly beautiful. I did not want to leave. Kevin is fantastic at hosting, from ensuring we have beautiful pictures for amazing memories to making sure we have enough food and drink during the oyster/sea food tasting. An absolute pleasure to be around and guided by. Could not recommend this tour enough! One of the best I’ve been on.

Beautiful nature - Beautiful nature, good quality sea food. Place is worth visiting. Arcachon is very basic,comparing with Normandie , a short stop there is sufficient.

Dune du Pilat and oyster tasting at Arachon Bay was amazing and our guide Kevin made everything easy and enjoyable. - Our trip from Bordeaux to Arachon Bay and Dune du Pilat was well organized, informative, spectacular and fun thanks to our tour guide Kevin. The Dune is a as amazing surprise rising 100 meters from the Atlantic Ocean and spanning three kilometers with German WW II bunkers at both ends. The views of the ocean, beach, islands and Cape Ferret peninsula from the top of the Dune are beautiful. We also drove into Arachon for fresh oysters and wine and then a walk along the pier and boardwalk. It was a clear, sunny with great weather that made it all even more special. Kevin is engaging and funny which made the drive to and from Bordeaux pass quickly. We highly recommend.

Awesome - We were looking forward to the Dune of Pilat and it was an awesome sight. Never seen sand dunes of this magnitude. Even in the rain it was more than worthwhile to be able to climb and walk on them. Kevin was a magnificent host and made sure everyone went at their own comfortable pace. And then the oysters were just sooo good. The best we’ve had anywhere! It was very fun to experience the oysters right next to the farm. Again, Kevin effortlessly made everyone comfortable at lunch and it was so enjoyable.
