A touch of Hawaii on the bay

Discover the Arcachon Bay in an authentic way aboard our Hawaiian outrigger canoes, using the currents and winds in harmony with nature.

You can get started in the sheltered Conche des Arbousiers, protected from currents, or set off on excursions to discover this team sport where coordination and rhythm are essential.

Our goal is to make this ecological means of navigation more accessible on the Arcachon Bay.

Possible excursions: the Dune du Pilat, ephemeral sandbanks, Arcachon, Pyla-sur-Mer, or Bird Island. Full details on the Excursions page of our website.
