2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

This cruise is distinguished by a gentle and authentic immersion in the heart of the Camargue, far from the classic tourist circuits. By navigating the Rhône Canal in Sète, you can access unspoilt and confidential landscapes by water, impossible to discover otherwise.

Aboard a friendly and comfortable boat, the pace is deliberately slow to observe wildlife — flamingos, herons, Camargue horses and bulls — in their natural environment. Guided by a passionate skipper of the territory, you discover local traditions through anecdotes and lively explanations.

This experience emphasizes proximity to nature, sharing and conviviality, for a sincere and immersive discovery of the Camargue, between relaxation, observation and local lifestyle.

  • (Pass by)

    ⛵ Embark from the port of Saint-Gilles for a guided boat ride to discover the Petite Camargue. Your Guide, passionate about nature and traditions, will accompany you along the way by sharing anecdotes and explanations about fauna, flora and local culture. Sailing towards Gallician, we will pass at the back of the Centre of Scamandre, a real sanctuary for birds. It’s an opportunity to admire emblematic Camargue species such as flamingos, herons or egrets, while getting to know them better thanks to the Guide’s comments. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to see horses on the loose, in the marshes, a strong symbol of this unspoilt region. ✨ On the way back, the highlight of the show: we approach only a few meters from a field of Camargue bulls. The Guide will explain their role in the bullfighting traditions and cultural identity of the Camargue.
