Explore eastern Gipuzkoa on a private tour from San Sebastian with an exclusive guide and vehicle, visiting three maritime gems in one itinerary.

Begin in Hondarribia, where the walled historic center and La Marina quarter reveal palaces, cobbled streets, and brightly painted wooden balconies along the Bidasoa, with stories of the town’s borderland role and fishing tradition.

Ascend to Jaizkibel viewpoint for panoramic Basque coastline views, then descend to the Bay of Pasaia, where San Juan Pasai Donibane and San Pedro preserve stone houses, narrow streets, and smoky quay grills. Weather permitting, cross the estuary by boat for perfect photo opportunities.

With private transport, flexible stops, and personalized attention, this tour blends heritage, viewpoints, and seafaring life before returning to Donostia with memories of the Cantabrian coast.

As we glide over the water, enjoy stunning coastal views and the tranquil atmosphere of this picturesque fishing enclave. During the ride, we will dive into fascinating stories about the Basque whaling tradition, a key part of the region’s maritime history.
