About the activity

Suitable for all ages from 4 years old, this small-group boat trip (maximum 12 passengers) offers an intimate and enjoyable experience at sea. Thanks to the limited group size, you’ll be able to fully appreciate the Basque coastline, including some wild and remote areas accessible only by boat. Your local skipper will enrich the outing with commentary, anecdotes, and insights about the region.

You RIB boat tour to Fontarabie begins with a brief introduction to the RIB and safety instructions. Once aboard, you’ll set off along the Basque cornice, a unique stretch of coastline between Socoa and Hendaye. Expect dramatic cliffs, secluded coves, and ocean-sculpted rocks that set the tone for the adventure ahead.

As you continue, you’ll discover Loia Bay, one of the most beautiful spots along the Basque coast. Crossing into Spain, you’ll pass Hendaye and enjoy a spectacular view of the iconic twin rocks of the town. Upon arriving in Fontarabie, you’ll take in panoramic views of the city and its estuary while your skipper shares the history and significance of the area.

On the return journey, the route offers more views of the wild coves between Fontarabie and Pasaia. During summer, weather permitting, there may be a chance to swim in a tranquil bay, go snorkeling, and enjoy the calm, pristine scenery along the Basque coast.

From the Basque cornice to Fontarabie, including Loia Bay, Hendaye, Los Frailes, and Cap du Figuier, this RIB excursion from Saint-Jean-de-Luz is ideal for families and anyone wishing to explore the diversity of the marine landscapes between France and Spain in just a few hours.

une visite en mer très intéressante, avec une vision différente de la cote basque, magique de ce retrouver sur la mer, avec un paysage à coupé le souffle, les explications parfaites et la baignade dans une petite crique un délice. Un petit plus pour des vacances très réussie.

Magnifique moment passé ce jour avec Paul :) Mes enfants et moi même avons adoré les différents paysages, les explications, notre pause baignade avec paddle dans une superbe baie aux eaux translucides, et un grand plus pour ce petit cours particulier de conduite :):)) Paul est un super capitaine a notre écoute et au petit soins.... Que du bonheur! Un grand Merci.
