Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’ll find activities to suit all tastes, supervised by local professionals. Here’s our selection of the 10 best experiences to enjoy during your stay.
Kite-surfing on Landrezac beach
A spot renowned for its steady winds, Landrezac attracts kite-surfers from all over Brittany. The EkoKite center offers lessons and courses for all levels, as well as equipment rental. Book your session and enjoy a unique panorama of the ocean.
Paddle and kayak in protected coves
For a more zen-like experience, rent a paddle or kayak and explore the wild creeks between Sarzeau and Arzon. Paddle to the pointe de Penvins or admire the wildlife of the Golfe du Morbihan. Group outings are organized every morning from the beach.
Scuba diving at Pointe de Saint-Jacques
The seabed of the Presqu’île is teeming with life: wrecks, colorful fish and eelgrass beds. The diving clubs of Saint-Jacques and Port-Navalo offer baptisms and explorations for levels 1 to 3.
Surfing and bodyboarding at Pen Castel
The Pen Castel beach, exposed to the swell, offers great waves for beginners to surf or bodyboard. Local schools lend out wetsuits and boards. For children, “baby surf” sessions are supervised by qualified instructors.
Sailing boats in Suscinio
On the long beach at Suscinio, try your hand at sand yachting. This activity combines thrills and respect for the environment: propelled by the wind, you glide across the sand at full speed. The local club offers 2-hour introductory courses.
Traditional sailing in the Gulf of Morbihan
Come aboard an old rigging and learn traditional sailing maneuvers. Departing from Arzon or Port-Navalo, a number of associations offer skippered sailing trips, an authentic way to discover the Gulf and its islands.
Sport fishing off Hoëdic
Fishing enthusiasts will be delighted by the islands of Hoëdic and Houat. Bass, sea bream and mackerel abound in these rich waters. Book an outing with a guide to maximize your chances of a great catch.
Longe-côte and aquagym at sea
To combine sport and well-being, try longe-côte (walking in the water wearing a wetsuit) or take part in an aquagym session at sea. These gentle activities tone the muscles and are performed in groups under the supervision of coaches.
Boat trips and cruises
Explore the Golfe du Morbihan on board a shuttle or cruise boat. Discover Île aux Moines, Île d’Arz and the many small uninhabited islands. Audio commentaries explain the history and geography of the area.
Water skiing and wakeboarding at the Kerners water sports centre
For thrill-seekers, head for the Kerners nautical base. Here you can enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding and even kneeboarding. Beginner and advanced packages are available.
