What you can expect

  • Put on your shorts, take off your shoes, and get ready to experience the Mont Saint-Michel Bay as a huge playground! Far from traditional and austere tours, these walks lasting from 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the option chosen, have been specially designed for all audiences: couples, groups of friends, families, children, and everyone who enjoys learning while having fun.
    Walk around Mont-Saint-Michel with an exploration of the quicksand: 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, suitable for everyone
    “Quicksand Adventure” walk: 1 hour 30 minutes, to learn all about this phenomenon
    and the most spectacular: Bay tour “Discovering the quicksand and the tidal bore”: 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours

    Guided by Sébastien, a passionate, certified professional guide, you will leave Mont Saint-Michel to venture out onto the sand and the fine mud (the famous “tangue”). Here, there are no long, encyclopedic speeches: we touch, we try things out, we observe nature and, above all, we share a convivial moment.

    The highlight of your adventure? The unmissable “quicksand” workshop! Under the expert and reassuring eye of your guide, people of all ages can experience the phenomenon of soil liquefaction first-hand. A guaranteed thrill, shared laughter and memorable souvenir photos are on the agenda when your legs start to slowly sink!

    Between a few steps to the side and some splashing in the bay's rivers, you'll discover the mysteries of the biggest tides in Europe, the little creatures that inhabit this unique ecosystem, and the unusual stories of the Wonder of the West. An exciting, safe and accessible experience for everyone, where a good mood is a must.
