Water tours and activities Brittany

This is an original way to discover Pontrieux, from the river. Lasting 25 minutes, this guided and piloted walk, aboard a boat equipped with an ultra-quiet electric motor, will take you from downtown to the port. You will admire about fifty recently restored wash houses along the river. Each bourgeois house had one of them. You will learn more about the history of the city, from where the linen cloth produced in the area was once exported.

If you dream of visiting Aber Wrac'h and Abbé Benoît by sea and discovering their many small islands, do not hesitate to call on the services of the Vedettes des Abers maritime company, which will offer you many excursions, guided tours, meal cruises, fishing trips,...

We recommend a visit to the Virgin Island and its lighthouse (ticket to be purchased on site), especially during high tides, where you can walk to and from the island by shuttle.

It should be noted that the price of the ticket is a little high, but the location being exceptional, the expense will quickly be amortized into unforgettable memories.

Located at Port de Dinan - Lanvallay, Maison de la Rance offers a discovery of the Vallée de la Rance on a new day. From 2010, the museum got a facelift. Interactive models, sound effects, smell boxes, simulation of tides: a permanent exhibition to be discovered while enjoying the natural and cultural heritage of a “maritime river”. This natural house also offers nature excursions accompanied by an entertainer, who on foot, on a bike or by boat will take you to listen to birds and observe the natural environments surrounding you.

Navigating the Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, it's a little dive in the history of commercial navigation to sail. Indeed, this mythical sailboat for the Bretons was restored to the Maritime Holidays of Brest in 1996. It was during these holidays that he was handed over to the water in Brest harbour, in front of an impressive crowd. The culmination of a long renovation site, and a new life for this sailboat to the rich past. Classified as a historic monument, this gabare was established in 1945 at Keraudren town Hall. First used for the transport of wine, Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol subsequently liaises between Brittany and England for the carriage of sand. His career ended in 1980, for a while. It was thanks to the passion and motivation of the An Test association that the sailboat was able to resume the sea, and can still make the Brest Harbour, Alder and Islands of the Mer d'Iroise discover. The association also offers an introduction to astronomical navigation for those who doubt the reliability of their GPS.

Sea outings on an old grément, sailing cruises or sea fishing, offer an exit in the ocean. To the island of Groix and the islands of South Brittany, for a walk or a weekend, unless you prefer to introduce yourself to sailing, it is according to your wishes, but exit at sea will definitely be successful, being accompanied by seasoned, competent and passionate professionals.

In the summer, a boat trip around the island of Ushant is a pleasure to see and a strong sensation to live. Making souvenirs between friends or family, on board a canoe, François Morin, is simply magic. Starting for a walk at sea, wait to discover a thousand and a wonders, and keep the eye attentive and open to see marine animals, lighthouses (like the mythical lighthouse of Kéréon)… A wonderful exit!
