Looking for a different way to explore the south of France? At Ocean Tours Hondarribia, we have the perfect plan. On our boat tour along the French coast, you’ll sail from Hondarribia to the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, discovering breathtaking coastal landscapes. Disconnect, enjoy the sea, and experience tourism from a unique and special perspective — the sea.

The southern coast of France is known for its cliffs, green hills, and beautiful coves. Our boat tour takes you on a round trip from Hondarribia to the charming French-Basque town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. As we pass Hendaye, you’ll enjoy a privileged view of its beach and its famous twin rocks, which mark the entrance to the Corniche Basque. These cliffs reach up to 45 meters above the sea at their highest point.

We sail along the impressive Corniche Basque, a stunning landscape made even more special when viewed from the sea. You’ll be amazed by the rugged cliffs shaped by flysch formations, the region’s lush vegetation, and iconic landmarks like the Château-Observatoire Abbadia. This neo-Gothic building sits atop the cliffs with spectacular sea views and is listed as a Historic Monument and Maison des Illustres — truly a marvel from the water.

Beyond the natural beauty of the Corniche Basque, our boat tour continues toward the bay shared by Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz — a place full of history and charm. Here, we stop near the Socoa Fort, built in 1627 to protect the bay and its port. In front of Socoa Beach, we enjoy a snack on board, and if you’re up for it — take a refreshing swim!

The tour ends in one of the jewels of the French Basque coast: Saint-Jean-de-Luz. A town rich in maritime tradition and cultural blend. At its port, we turn the boat around and begin the return journey to Hondarribia Marina.

We invite you to live a unique experience, exploring the French coast by sea and taking a swim in a bay full of history. Book your place now — we look forward to welcoming you on board!
