5.00Walk that makes you appreciate the bay and learn about small curiosities told by the guide, with a pinch of adventure in crossing small rivers and experience the feeling of dipping your legs in quicksand. Experience highly recommended!

5.006km barefoot walk with crossing of small rivers where water can reach up to the knees so short pants are recommended. We were with our daughters aged 11 and 13 who are used to walking without problems. Fantastic experience with quicksand at the end, to be safe bring a spare of shorts and an empty bottle to rinse your feet at the end of the walk. The guide explained in French and later translated into English also answering our questions. It was truly a unique experience that we will not forget.
Lovely walk and fun quicksand experience
