Stephane is a very good guide. With a keen sense for his guests and a bit of humor, we had a very interesting and beautiful hike.

It was something truly special. The quicksand. The explanations. Viewing Mont St Michel from a different perspective. The rivers in the sea. Simply recommendable

Breathtaking stroll. The guide is amazing; we were truly captivated. Memories for a lifetime
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis, je suis heureux d'avoir su vous transmettre ma passion pour ce lieu.
We really enjoyed the experience. The highlight of our trip, especially for our 7-year old.
The bay walk is a small adventure for the children and the quicksand experience is all the time a great moment for them.
Excellent guide. Very safe and fun. Highly recommend this guide. 6k walk.
Thank you very much for your comment, you are right… participating in this excursion seems to require a good level of physical fitness… if you regularly walk a distance of 10 km, everything will be fine.
A very friendly guide, attentive, and very serious about safety. We had a pleasant experience, with no regrets whatsoever. The water was nice.
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis et je suis heureux que cette petite aventure à travers la baie vous a laissé un agréable souvenir.
The tour and the tour guide were excellent, the kids really enjoyed it especially the quicksand. Would highly recommend. Tips: Bring a spare change of shorts or wear swimming trunks in case you get wet while trying out the quick sand. Bring a small snack/drink/beer for when you stop on the little island; tombiline. Follow the other advice in terms of clothing and equipment as detailed on the website. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for your review and for your advices for the next visitors... Have a good spring 2026!
A fun experience for the children. It's a nice walk. Our youngest is 7 and could participate well. Especially experiencing quicksand, where you can enter under supervision and learn how to get out is very nice.
Hartelijk dank voor uw feedback, I'm happy all your family enjoy the tour and especially the quicksand experience for the kids at the end of the tour :))
Really to do. Stephane makes the experience pleasant and fun. A look back at the history of Mont St Michel, anecdotes, and quicksand.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire, je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la traversée de la baie et mon univers avec le sourire.
