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 track.

Hondarribia welcomes you with its authentic charm, colourful 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.

Activity itinerary

Port de Saint-jean-de-Luz. (Pass by)

Departure: Port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz A legendary port of the Basque Country, where fishing remains the main activity to this day.

La Corniche Basque (Pass by)

We will follow the Basque Corniche, a protected natural area located between Hendaye and Ciboure. Today, the hiking trail that winds along these cliffs is closed to the public due to its fragility — but from the sea, we’ll have the unique opportunity to admire the impressive Flysch cliffs from a privileged perspective.

Chateau Observatoire Abbadia (Pass by)

You’ll discover the Bay of Loya, a hidden gem of the Basque coast, nestled between the cliffs of the Corniche and Hendaye, and overlooked by the majestic Château d’Abbadia.

Rochers des deux Jumeaux (Pass by)

Below the château, we’ll admire the “Deux Jumeaux” — two iconic sea stacks standing like sentinels facing the ocean. These natural formations have withstood the relentless force of the sea over time.

Hondarribia (Pass by)

Hondarribia is home to a small fishing port that remains one of the most important in the Basque Country.

Jaizkibel

  • 15m
This is also where the Jaizkibel mountain range begins, home to the “Bay of Pigs” and Amuitz Island, a stunning area where the water is often crystal clear and calm. We'll make a short swimming stop here for those who wish to take a dip. (Snorkelling equipment available on board.)

Fort de Socoa (Pass by)

We’ll make a short detour to the port of Socoa, overlooked by its historic fort — a true treasure of the Basque Country and a witness to its rich and captivating history.
