Finistere Multi Activity Trip
5 Nights / 5 Days in Paradise

Overview

Ever heard of the Cote des Legendes? Probably not, this place is so off the beaten track that you will most likely never have heard of it!

This is an holiday that will blow your mind. Packed full of paddleboarding, you will see our beautiful region from every angle, the beach, the sea and from under the sea! This holiday combines a base in Guisseny, off the tourist radar, with a robinson cruseo experience, in the Island Achipelgo, Lilia!

Packed full of breathtaking white sand beaches, and spectacularly translucent Sea. What is more this is a destination that is surpisingly only 30 Minutes from the UK (OK plus the ferry!). Read more about your perfect Paddleboard Holiday in France. 

Programme

Day 1: Guisseny

You’ll arrive on the morning ferry at 9am, and we’ll either be there to welcome you or you can make your way in your own transport — whichever suits you best.

We’ll kick things off with our first paddle session, followed by a relaxing picnic lunch in a scenic spot. Afterward, you’ll check in at your accommodation in Guissény, perfectly located to make the most of your stay.

In the afternoon, we’ll head out for a stand-up paddle (SUP) session, taking in the beautiful surroundings from a different perspective.

To round off the day, we’ll enjoy a laid-back BBQ together before settling in for a well-earned rest under the stars.

Day 2: Cote des Légendes

Ever heard of the Côte des Légendes?
Chances are, you haven’t — and that’s what makes it so special. Hidden far off the beaten track, this stretch of coastline remains one of France’s best-kept secrets.

After breakfast, your day begins with a morning snorkelling trip, led by a local guide who’ll introduce you to some of the clearest, most pristine waters in France — a truly magical underwater experience.

Next, we’ll head to some of the region’s most stunning, untouched beaches, where white sands and rocky coves invite you to explore. This is an adventurer’s paradise — ideal for wandering, relaxing, and paddling.

We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch together by the sea before setting off on a SUP session, gliding along the turquoise shallows and discovering hidden gems along the Côte des Légendes.

The evening is yours to enjoy — why not sample some fresh seafood or crêpes at one of Guissény’s charming local restaurants

Day 3: Paddle Day and Scooter Tour!

After breakfast, you’ll be picked up at 9:30am to head out for a day of discovery. Depending on the conditions, we’ll explore either the Pays des Abers or the Côte des Légendes — both offering stunning backdrops for a stand-up paddle adventure through calm waters, hidden inlets, and postcard-worthy landscapes.

We’ll pause for a relaxed picnic lunch in a scenic spot, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.

In the afternoon, it’s time for something a little different — a French scooter tour! Feel the breeze as we cruise through charming villages, along coastal lanes, and past breathtaking viewpoints.

The evening is yours to enjoy at your own pace — a free night to unwind, watch the sunset, or discover another local favourite in Guissény.

Day 4: Ile Vierge Lighthouse | Plouguerneau

Just 500m off Plouguerneau in the Pays des Abers, this tiny island is home to Europe’s tallest stone lighthouse – standing proud at 33m and surrounded by a dreamy archipelago revealed at low tide.

We’ll kick off our paddle from the fishing village of Lilia, where you’ll find seafood spots like Le Gris or Re Stel A’ch – perfect for a pre- or post-paddle bite.

After a communal lunch at La Route des Phares, we launch from the harbour, gliding past bobbing fishing boats and into a peaceful bay full of seagrass meadows and drifting seaweed.

Our first stop: Île Vierge — atmospheric, wild, and utterly captivating. Then we head to Stagadon, a tucked-away island with a turquoise tidal lagoon that feels like the Caribbean (yes, really!) when the tide’s right.

We’ll spend the night in a rugged eco-hostel (hello, Robinson Crusoe vibes!), fire up the BBQ, and catch the sunset from your own private island. Once the day-trippers are gone — it’s all yours.

Day 5: Stagadon and Free afternoon

After breakfast, we’ll ease into the day with a relaxing paddle through one of the most awe-inspiring spots on the coast, making our way back to Plouguerneau before heading home to the village.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
Wander the coastal trails, hop on a bike (rentals available in Guissény), or dive into something new — like wingfoiling or a second snorkelling adventure (optional extras)
