Highlights
-
Port de Saint-jean-de-Luz. - Departure: Port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Mythical port of the Basque Country, today fishing still remains the main activity there. - La Corniche Basque - We will follow the Basque cornice, a protected natural area, located between Hendaye and Ciboure. Today the hiking trail that winds around this cliff is closed to the public because of its fragility. We will have the chance to discover these Flysch cliffs from the sea.
- Chateau Observatoire Abbadia - You will discover Loya Bay, a little gem of the Basque coastline wedged between the cliffs of the Corniche and Hendaye, and overlooked by Abbadia Castle.
- Rochers des deux Jumeaux - Below the castle, we can admire the 2 Jumeaux, emblematic rocks. These two sentinels who watch over the open sea have resisted the onslaught of the ocean.
- Hondarribia - Hondarribia is home to a small fishing port which remains one of the most important in the Basque country.
- Jaizkibel - It is also the beginning of the Jaizkibel (mountain range) which shelters the Bay of Pigs, and the island of Amuitz, the water there is often transparent and very calm. We will make a short swimming stop there for those who wish. (Snorkeling equipment available)
- Fort de Socoa - We will make a short detour to the port of Socoa dominated by its fort, a historical treasure of the Basque country and witness to a rich and captivating history.

A top skipper! - For my husband's 60th birthday, I had booked this outing. Paul was great. Thanks to him for this very nice outing to Hondarribia. I recommend it to you. 2h30 where you don't get bored for 1 second.
