Dune and Oyster Adventure - This place is a “don’t miss” if you are in the Bordeaux area! Stunning vistas from the dunes over the Atlantic and the experience going to the local oyster eatery and farm were both wonderful travel memories. The beach side town of Arcachon was lovely. The beach and shopping are superb. Kevin was a fantastic guide and I do not think the experience would have been the same without him. He was knowledgeable about the history of the area, geology the dune formation, and the oyster farming process. Kevin’s driving was exemplary and he was very patient…especially when we were climbing the dunes. The dune walk and ascent was a little tough. Definitely not something for folks who are not fit. .

Best tour! We absolutely... - Best tour! We absolutely loved it. Our guide was a sociable and funny chap. We could not fault the tour. You get to see a beautiful dune (and climb it), eat some wonderful seafood where the locals go, and see a coastal time. Hands down would do this again given the opportunity.

Dune du Pilat and Oyster Experience - Kevin was amazing . He went out of his way to make sure everyone was looked after. The tour itself was fantastic we battled the traffic and all the way we got to know about each area on the way. The Dune de Pilat was spectacular, we all climbed to the top and got shown all the best places to get our photo moment and learnt all about the dunes and the local farming Something we will never forget. We then went on to enjoy local oysters, prawns and sea snails and a few bottles of wine. What a great experience. We then arrived in the sea village of Arcachon and enjoyed a bit of time to ourself taking in the ocean views enjoying relaxing by the water. This trip and guide was a 10 out of 10 .

Very nice site... - The place is great, but very busy in season... to be done entirely on foot to fully immerse yourself in the place, it is with great pleasure that this walk is carried out, and will leave you with good memories. Very beautiful photos to take!

Nice trip to the beach! - Kevin was a wonderful guide, focused on showing us all the Cape had to offer. He went the extra mile to find a place that was open for our oyster tasting!

Cap-Ferret - We had a great time. Cap-Ferret and beach views were beautiful. Our guide, Kévin lead us through the light house and small little fisherman village at relaxing pace. We ended the tour with lunch at a cute little oyster restaurant with a beautiful view of the water and colorful houses.
