Tips

What To Expect

Meet your local guide at the foot of Mont Saint Michel in front of the main entrance. The meeting time depends on the tide therefore it will be communicated to you by message when confirming the activity. The service lasts approximately 1 hour on a 2 kilometer loop route around Mont Saint Michel. The tour will begin with an explanation of the phenomenon and then the guide will give a demonstration. Participants will then be asked to sink up to their knees and learn the technique to get out. People who don't want to sink in can observe the experience and take photos of their friends or children in the sand. Then at the end of the activity the guide will take you to the edge of a river to wash your legs. The tour ends as it began at the foot of Mont Saint Michel.

A really exciting activity mixed with the fear of the unknown. We told our two grandchildren the night before doing this and the look on their faces will be forever etched in our memory. Our guide was very supportive and knowledgeable. Exciting, funny, dirty and messy activity, perfect fun afternoon had by all
