Description
Departing from the historic harbor of Camaret-sur-Mer, board the Sirène VI for an unforgettable 1 hour 15 minute cruise tour along one of Brittany's most rugged and spectacular coastlines. Head for the Pointe de Pen-Hir and its legendary Tas de Pois!
The Tas de Pois: giants rising from the ocean
From the first minutes of navigation, the coast reveals its secrets. The cliffs rise gradually, sculpted by thousands of years of winds and tides. Then the Tas de Pois appear — these impressive granite rocks that emerge from the Iroise Sea like stone sentinels. Classified among the most iconic natural sites in Finistère, they offer a striking show from the deck of the speedboat. Their silhouette silhouetted against the horizon is one of the most photographed images in all of Brittany.
A wild coast of cliffs, coves and beaches
Throughout the tour, you will travel along the rugged coastline of the Presqu'île de Crozon, nestled in the heart of the Armorique Regional Nature Park and the Iroise Marine Park. Vertiginous cliffs plunge into a sea with changing reflections, punctuated by hidden coves and deserted beaches accessible only by sea. Each turn reveals a new scene: a hidden cove, a sea cave, a headland battered by the waves.
Exceptional flora and fauna
The Iroise Sea is one of the richest marine areas in France. Keep your eyes open during your cruise tour: dolphins, gray seals, puffins, and other sea birds are regular travel companions. On the cliffs, the red-billed chough — a rare species that nests in the rock walls of the peninsula — can sometimes be seen. The coastal vegetation, dominated by Breton heather, adds a touch of color to the mineral hues of the rocks.
A journey through history
The Pointe de Pen-Hir is also steeped in history. This site was a strategic point during World War II, and the memorial to the Bretons of Free France, visible from the sea, recalls the courage of those who fought from these lands. Camaret-sur-Mer itself, classified as one of the 'Plus Beaux Détours de France' ('The Most Beautiful Detours of France'), has a rich maritime past that the on-board commentary will introduce you to.
On board the Sirène VI
Comfortable and spacious, the Sirène VI (60 feet, 90 passengers) was built in 1992 by the AGMAR shipyard in Quimper.
