Idea for a walk
Set off by canoe from Captain Bernos’s cabin in Longarisse to explore the islands to the south of the lake, less than 30 minutes’ paddle away.
You’re sure to find a quiet beach where you can swim and sunbathe in peace, even at the height of the season.
Our advice: ask for a waterproof container to carry your belongings and your picnic, so you can enjoy a day away from it all, completely self-sufficient.
An experience at water level, close to nature
Skimming the water’s surface, every stroke of the paddle becomes an invitation to explore, to slow down, to feel. Canoeing is one of the most authentic ways to explore Lacanau Lake, gliding quietly through unspoilt areas, past small beaches and hidden coves.
Quiet and environmentally friendly, it allows you to get close to wildlife without disturbing it: herons, fish, dragonflies… everything becomes clearer and more alive.
Easy to handle, the canoe is suitable for everyone, even those with no previous experience. It offers great freedom of choice of route and a real pleasure to paddle, whether alone or with a partner.
A moment suspended in time, combining gentle exertion, a chance to switch off and harmony with the landscape.
A free-form, physical and calming activity
Canoeing is a well-rounded activity: it’s as good for the body as it is for the mind. Each session offers an opportunity to get active, breathe deeply and find your centre in a soothing natural setting.
From the water, the landscape takes on a new perspective. The reflections of the sky, the wooded banks and the hushed sounds of nature combine to create a unique atmosphere, perfect for contemplation.
Our canoes are lightweight, stable and suitable for all levels. Whether alone, in pairs or with the family, everyone can enjoy this experience at their own pace.
It’s also a wonderful way to treat yourself to some ‘me time’, away from the hustle and bustle, in direct contact with the elements.
A gentle escape, combining gliding, silence and freedom.
