A great Sunday morning trip - It was a great experience, the hike up the dune was a great workout. We got there before the crowds so that was nice. Really loved the fresh oysters

Absolutely amazing and a must do.. - Trip was absolutely awesome..
Very strenuous with the climb and walking on the dune, much further from the crowd, but well worth the effort.. views were incredible and it's a once in a lifetime bucket list thing that just has to be done..
Oyster farm was great, the big ones are humongous..!
Heading to beach was lovely, beach is very beautiful and sand is so clean..
Kevin our tour guide is a superstar..!! He really made the trip and the best guy..!!!

Local trip out - Kévin was very kind from the beginning of the tour. He was flexible with the pick up and meeting time. He first took us to the Dune du Pilat. Gave us plenty of time to explore around, take photos and offered to take photos too. We then went to a local restaurant to have oysters , shrimps etc. I wasn’t able to eat due to allergies, however he was kind enough to a bakery to grab a few bits to eat. I did however get to enjoy wine. We then took a trip to a seaside town for some ice cream and crepes. We had plenty of time to relax. Kévin then drove us back to our preferred destinations. Thoughout the tour he was very knowledgeable and gave really good insights.

A wonderful day of discovery. - We enjoyed this tour and learned so much from our knowledgeable and entertaining guide Kvin. The views from the top of the Dune du Pilat were breathtaking. Eating freshly harvested oysters just a few feet from the seashore and the oyster fishing boats was an appreciated special part of the tour. Kvin was attentive and ensured we had a wonderful outing discovering the fascinating area that is so close to Bordeaux and yet so very different from Bordeaux.

Amazing experience - The dunes were incredibly beautiful. I did not want to leave. Kevin is fantastic at hosting, from ensuring we have beautiful pictures for amazing memories to making sure we have enough food and drink during the oyster/sea food tasting. An absolute pleasure to be around and guided by. Could not recommend this tour enough! One of the best I’ve been on.
