Explore the Wild Beauty of the Basque Coast by Boat
Overview
Set off on a unique experience in the heart of the Basque Country.
Departing from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, this small-group coastal escape takes you to Hondarribia (Fontarabie) — the first Spanish port accessible by sea.
As we cruise along the coast, you’ll be amazed by the stunning scenery of the Basque Corniche, the hidden bay of Loya, and the iconic Deux Jumeaux rocks, watched over by the Château d’Abbadia.
Aboard our boat, you’ll explore preserved natural sites steeped in history — off the beaten path.
Hondarribia welcomes you with its authentic charm, colorful houses, and picturesque fishing port.
We'll also sail along the Cape Higuer and Los Frailes Bay, where, on sunny days, a swimming stop lets you enjoy the crystal-clear waters in a breathtaking natural setting.
A perfect blend of nature, culture, and seaside pleasure, this outing promises a journey full of discovery and emotion.
Experience the Basque Country differently — book your escape now!
