The cetacean excursion is a unique adventure of its kind! We suggest you board our boat in a small group for an excursion to observe cetaceans in their natural environment.

An oceanic fault called Gouf de Capbreton is the meeting place for many species of cetaceans, fish and birds.

I am a Basque native, in love with my country, culture and gastronomy. And after be working with travelers 7 years, in 2015 I started offering artisan, unique and authentic experiences in my own. Aiming to offer the possibility to enjoy feeling and living, the true essence of the Basque Country, out of the commercial and away from the tourist masses. And this is the best experience I offer ever about hiking in the country side and probably the most pure that is offered in San Sebastian. If you don’t believe me, came on to hike to the Shepherd´s paradise and taste best mountain food & drinks into the wild. And after completing the experience, you are not satisfied. I will return you, the amount paid for it.
