Les Bateliers Arcachonnais
Daily, year-round cruises sail around the Île aux Oiseaux, the uninhabited 'bird island' in the middle of the bay. It's a haven for tern, curlew and redshank, so bring your binoculars. In summer there are regular all-day excursions (11am to 5.30pm) to the Banc d'Arguin, the sand bank off the Dune du Pilat.
