Arcachon and Pilat Dune: Private Bordeaux Shore Trip

8 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Escape Bordeaux on a private shore excursion to the beautiful seaside resort of Arcachon, located on the Atlantic coast. Enjoy pickup directly from your cruise ship and travel in comfort aboard a premium minivan with an English-speaking guide. Discover Arcachon Bay, famous for its oyster-farming traditions, sandy beaches, and mild climate. Visit local oyster huts and enjoy a tasting of fresh Arcachon oysters paired with white wine (alternatives available). Your guide will suggest a seaside restaurant for lunch, perfectly matched with Bordeaux wines. In the afternoon, choose how to personalize your experience: climb Europe’s largest sand dune, the Dune du Pilat, enjoy free time in Arcachon, or take a private boat ride on a traditional Pinasse to explore Bird Island and oyster farms. This flexible, small-group tour offers the perfect mix of nature, gastronomy, and coastal charm before returning to your cruise ship.
