To be booked directly with the provider

Xavier_B, Jul 2026

The walk is very nice. However, VIATOR takes €6 per ticket as a commission, the ticket is €19 with the provider and we pay €25 on the platform. It's shameful!

Merci pour votre retour ! Je suis ravi que la promenade vous ait plu. Je comprends votre remarque concernant la tarification de la plateforme. En réservant directement auprès de Médoc en Mer, vous bénéficiez toujours du meilleur tarif. Au plaisir de vous revoir sur l’estuaire, et suivez mes aventures sur les réseaux !

Too short-term booking

Sonja_M, May 2026

We booked on short notice. 1 hour before the start. That's not how the trip came about. The operator was very friendly and cancelled the booking. The money is coming back

Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience même si votre réservation de dernière minute n’a malheureusement pas permis le maintien de la sortie. Effectivement, un minimum de 6 personnes est nécessaire pour que la sortie soit validée. Médoc en Mer veille toujours à accompagner ses visiteurs avec réactivité et transparence. Les excursions offrent une immersion authentique entre océan, estuaire et nature préservée du Médoc. Au plaisir de vous accueillir lors d’une prochaine escapade maritime.

Perfect.

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour enthousiaste 🌊 Je suis ravi que cette traversée vers le Phare de Cordouan vous ait plu, même avec un peu de houle ! Yves aime partager chaque détail et histoire de ce joyau maritime, pour faire de chaque sortie une expérience unique. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau — et pour prolonger le voyage, cap sur nos réseaux sociaux ⚓✨

Superb sea walking experience

Claire_Q, Jun 2025

Experienced and friendly pilot and guide. Approach the lighthouse as close as possible with a boat (to dock, you need a barge and a near low tide). Promenade en Médoc offers the sea walk for 18€, which is an excellent value for money.
