A fun, eco-friendly and refreshing activity
Pedalos are a quintessential outdoor leisure activity: simple, accessible and environmentally friendly. With no noise or pollution, they allow you to enjoy the lake in complete tranquillity, in an unspoilt setting.
At Moutchic Loisirs, we provide comfortable and stable pedalos, suitable for both adults and children. Whether you’re planning a short trip or a longer outing, you choose your own pace, your stops and your route.
Ideal for spotting aquatic wildlife or taking a dip, the pedalo is an excellent alternative to more strenuous water sports.
It’s an invitation to slow down, savour the moment, and reconnect with simple pleasures, in the heart of an exceptional natural setting.

It’s also an opportunity to explore quieter spots, far from the hustle and bustle, where nature alone sets the pace of the day. Between sky and water, every outing becomes a rejuvenating break.
Tedey Point
The pedal boat is the ideal way to get around the lake in complete safety. Have a go on the slide and take a dip in the crystal-clear water.
Stop off at the campsite’s beach at Pointe du Tedey, a 35-minute pedal boat ride away. Allow at least two hours for the round trip, so you have time for a swim and perhaps a cocktail at the campsite bar by the lake.
Pedal boat hire at Lacanau Lake
The lake offers a vast expanse of fresh water. It’s the perfect playground for anyone who wants to go out on the water without any technical hassles. At Moutchic Loisirs, we believe that getting out on the lake should be simple. You arrive, put on a life jacket, and off you go.
Pedal boat hire for families, friends and colleagues
Sharing a moment on the water strengthens bonds. A pedal boat outing in Lacanau brings generations together. Grandparents pedal alongside their grandchildren, whilst parents soak up the sun. Groups of friends often organise friendly races or seek out a quiet spot to chat in the middle of the lake.
We know that your pet is part of the family. That’s why dogs are welcome on our boats. They often enjoy the trip just as much as you do, with their noses in the wind. Whether you’re a couple, out with colleagues for a relaxed day out, or with the whole family, our fleet is here to fulfil your desire to get away from it all.
6-person pedalos
A veritable rainbow awaits you on the beach. Our colourful boats catch the eye and set the tone for the day. We have models to suit the size of your group. The pedalos fitted with slides are always a hit. They turn a simple ride into a private water park.
You alternate between a gentle paddle and refreshing dips in the water. Climbing back on board is child’s play. These boats are sure to bring laughter and create lasting memories for children and adults who are young at heart alike. Each boat is regularly serviced to ensure your comfort.
Explore Lacanau Lake by pedal boat
The lake reveals its secrets to those who take the time to observe it. A pedalo remains the quietest and most respectful way to get close to nature without disturbing it. You glide along at your own pace, without an engine, in harmony with the environment.
A pedal boat ride at Le Moutchic
Setting off from Moutchic Beach gives you direct access to the most stunning views. The calm waters make it easy to paddle right from the shore. You can paddle alongside the reeds, watch the birds, or head out to sea to take in the horizon.
This pedal boat trip offers a different perspective on the riverbank. The villas recede into the background, and the pine forest appears even more majestic when viewed from the water. It’s a complete immersion in the Gironde landscape. The gentle lapping of the water against the hull lulls you as you glide along. You decide on your own route and when to stop.
Pedalos: a gentle and accessible activity
No special skills are required. If you’re looking for a water-based activity for the whole family, a pedal boat is the obvious choice. It doesn’t require the balance needed for stand-up paddleboarding or the technique of sailing. All you have to do is sit down and pedal. It’s as simple as that.
This accessibility makes it a popular pastime. Everyone helps to propel the boat forward according to their own strength. You can stop at any time, drift along, take photos or dip your feet in the water. It offers freedom of movement on the water, with no prior training required. A gentle way to enjoy the summer.
Practical information on pedalo hire
Planning ahead makes it easier to organise your day. We do our best to ensure your experience runs smoothly from the moment you arrive at the cabin. Here are a few tips to help you plan your trip out on the lake.
Prices and opening hours
As for pedal boat hire in Lacanau and the rates, these vary depending on the hire duration. You can hire a pedal boat in Lacanau for half an hour, an hour or longer if you fancy a leisurely spin. We display our prices clearly at reception to avoid any surprises.
The pedal boat opening hours follow the rhythm of the sun and the seasons. In summer, the days are longer, allowing you to go out on the water until 8 pm. On hot days, we recommend coming in the morning to enjoy the coolness of the lake.
Advice and safety
Your safety is our top priority. We provide life jackets to suit all sizes, including those for the youngest children, from 3kg upwards. We recommend that everyone wears a life jacket; it is compulsory for children under 16 and for anyone who cannot swim or does not feel comfortable in the water. The lake is calm, but caution is still advised.
Remember to bring water, a hat and sun cream, as the glare off the water can sometimes make it difficult to stay alert. Please stick to the recommended sailing areas and be considerate of other users of the lake. Courteous sailing ensures everyone enjoys themselves. Our team will advise you on the best areas to visit for a peaceful outing.
