"Beneteau Ombrine 630" Boat Rental for 7 People in Arcachon (33)
La Teste-de-Buch is one of the jewels of the Arcachon Basin. In fact, as a reminder, this town is one of France’s most popular seaside resorts. This small town nearby is definitely worth exploring, whether for its famous 110-meter-high sand dune or its stunning lakes and beaches. After all, enjoying activities in Arcachon means indulging in absolutely exceptional water and air sports. Whether it’s canoeing, skydiving, paragliding, a boat ride, or riding a scooter, you’ll get some exercise while admiring the area’s splendid scenery. Don’t wait any longer!
Treat your significant other and book a sailboat cruise to enjoy a magnificent sunset! Aboard a boat over ten meters long, you’ll head toward Cap Ferret—and you can even take the helm if you’d like. However, you’ll be closely supervised by Thierry, your skipper, who’ll teach you the basics of sailing. For three hours, you’ll have the chance to admire the scenery of the Arcachon Basin, the fishing villages, the Dune du Pilat, the Banc d’Arguin, and, of course, a sunset that will stay with you forever.
Want to discover La Teste and the Arcachon Basin from the sky? Take the plunge…with a parachute, of course. Accompanied by Nicolas and his team, you’ll enjoy your first skydiving experience, which begins at La Teste-de-Buch before you leap into the air above the Dune du Pilat. There’s no better way to explore the Gironde. If you’d like to go beyond a single skydive, however, Nicolas and his team offer introductory courses to help you take the leap into solo skydiving (rather than jumping in tandem with an experienced instructor). You’ll complete the PAC (Guided Freefall Progression) training to learn safety protocols and the best ways to maneuver when you’re on your own. At the end of the day, you’ll put your skills into practice with a solo jump from an altitude of 4,000 meters. Rest assured, however: you’ll be supervised by instructors throughout the jump.
Want to try a unique experience on a vehicle that’s just as unique? Rent an electric scooter for an hour and take a family ride along the beautiful coastline. With this vehicle, you’ll be able to explore the lovely trails around the bay while enjoying a fun and relaxed time. Several routes are available, and you can choose to go on your own or with a guide who’ll show you the best spots.
For lovers of the famous Pyla Dune, we have an exceptional activity to offer: a paragliding flight that’s simply one-of-a-kind. Accompanied by an experienced instructor, you’ll have the opportunity to fly over this exceptional site and discover other stunning landscapes in the region, such as the Banc d’Arguin, Île aux Oiseaux, and Cap Ferret. During the half-hour flight, you’ll also have the chance to take the controls of the paraglider at times, which will give you thrills just as intense as those of a simple glide. Note that a video option is available so you can preserve the memories of a very special day in the air.
La-Teste-de-Buch offers beautiful spots for canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Accompanied by instructors who are passionate about this region and its natural surroundings, you can book and rent canoes and paddleboards to explore the magnificent Lake Sanguinet. In both cases, introductory sessions are always available. In addition to the lake, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore other sites such as the Dune du Pilat, the Leyre River, and the oyster-farming ports.
