The experience

Three and a half hours on electric bikes means you cover ground without the strain of pedaling uphill, so the focus stays on the stops themselves. The route follows bike paths and the coastal path: flat, accessible terrain built for this kind of riding. You'll start in Biarritz or Bidart depending on which suits your schedule, then head south or north along the coast, stopping several times to take in the panoramic views and the quieter spots locals know. The guide leads the whole thing and stays with the group for safety.

The named stops matter: the Rock of the Virgin and Grande Plage are the landmarks most visitors come to see, but you also get the lighthouse with its emblematic view, and a proper walk through Bidart village. The square, the church, the pelota court where locals play, the cafes with their lively terraces. A chapel stop offers another coastal panorama. Between the stops, you're riding the paths themselves, not watching from a bus, so the rhythm of the coast unfolds as you move through it.

Child seats hold riders up to 24 kg and are free. Children aged 7 to 13 share a two-seater bike with a parent. Babies and very young children (6 months to 5 years, one per parent) ride free. Everyone gets a helmet. The tour departs with a minimum of two adults, and a local guide in your chosen language (French, English or Spanish) supervises throughout. The e-bike rental fee is separate and paid on the day you ride.
