    • Waves and Cliffs, boat trips showcasing the Basque coast

      Discover the Basque Country from a different perspective ! This magnificent region, renowned for its fine sandy beaches and unique geological formations, is even more beautiful when viewed from the ocean. Whether you have your sea legs or simply the curiosity to sail on the open sea, Vagues et Falaises offers you an exceptional way to discover the Basque coast aboard a rigid inflatable boat. Grab your life jackets, it's time to embark!


      Unforgettable boat trips on the Atlantic Ocean

      Reserve your place to be one of the 12 lucky people to climb aboard the Vagues et Falaises semi-rigid boat moored in the port of Socoa. Certified and fully equipped, it will take you on a journey along the 30 km of coastline of the Basque coast, riding the waves.

      • The 1 hour 15 minute tour heads towards the cliffs of the Basque coastline and the Loia Bay, a protected natural area only visible from the sea. On the return journey, the Hendaye Bay and the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz come into view.
      • The 2.5-hour cruise offers a true sailing experience between Biarritz and Hendaye. Beyond the waves, you'll glimpse the Rocher de la Vierge (Virgin's Rock) and the Biarritz Lighthouse, while the flysch cliffs typical of the Basque Country provide a picture-postcard setting. You'll also discover hidden gems like the port of Guéthary and the beaches of Bidart, inaccessible by car.
      • The 1.5-hour sunset cruise is a wonderful way to capture unique photos of the Basque coast. The sun's rays gently descend upon the cliffs, reflecting off the waves in rhythm with the boat's movement. This romantic twilight excursion is ideal for admiring, discovering, and rediscovering the beauty of the coastline.


      A sublime region that can be discovered and rediscovered by sea.

      A boat trip is Vagues et Falaises' preferred option for admiring the beauty of the Basque Country. While the landscapes are sublime from land, they are even more so from the sea, with 30 km of coastline revealing geological cliffs and historical natural sites such as the Socoa fort and the Semaphore. The coves nestled among the rocks are even more beautiful when viewed from the open water. The charming coastal villages, perfect for exploring on foot, offer your experienced skipper (with over 20 years of sailing experience) the opportunity to discover exceptional places. Vagues et Falaises: more than just a boat trip, a unique maritime experience to enjoy on the Basque coast.

    I took both boat trip packages with my child, who had never been on a boat before. For a chance to discover the sea, experience a bit of excitement, and explore the Basque coast, come and enjoy this small boat that comfortably accommodates up to 12 people at affordable prices. Have a great trip, and I highly recommend it!
