The spirit

This experience is part of a sustainable and ecological philosophy. We’re off to discover untouched nature and places still far from mass tourism. I’m counting on you to respect the environment and the habits of the local population.

The experience also offers opportunities to meet local fishermen and artisans and share a few moments with them. They’re not used to receiving people, but they’re very hospitable and friendly. The visits also encourage them to continue their food-producing activities.

We’ve got you covered…

Arrival on the island. Welcome and discussion of the experience.
Handling mountain bikes and helmets. Explanation of safety instructions.
We then set off to discover the island and its unspoilt nature. The experience offers you a concentrate of energy, happiness and pleasure. We get the adrenalin pumping with our pedals. The landscape changes, and you meet more and more people (craftsmen, fishermen, farmers…). Each stop is a moment of discovery and exchange.
We continue on to the fishing village to meet a craftsman who makes fishing cages, then a barcassier specializing in octopus fishing.
We set down by the beach to prepare our meal. I’ve put together a selection of fresh island produce to round off our discovery with a moment of pure delight.
After lunch, we cycle back to the starting point.
End of the day.
