I think the agency is very good because it provided us with great support and advice in our search for suitable accommodation for a family. Due to problems with the flight, we arrived very late at night. Here, too, our check-in was seamlessly prepared in collaboration with WAVETOURS and the local agent. It’s perfect and that’s why we give it five stars and would gladly use the service again!

A lovely new family surf camp that opened for its first season this summer in Montalivet. Very nicely done, with everything you need. The focus here is primarily on children, for whom there is plenty on offer – from batik, crafts, table tennis and trampolining, etc. Children of all ages will find something to suit them here and quickly make friends to play with.

If you want, you can of course book a surfing course, yoga or mountain bike tours. In the evenings, there are activities for the whole family (completely informal), from games nights to karaoke or sunset walks.

The location is great, as it’s only a 5-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk to the village, where there is a fantastic market every day from 8 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. and lots of small shops, cafés and restaurants. The beach is about 15 minutes away, or 30-40 minutes with a toddler, so a bicycle is useful (you can also hire one at the camp) or a handcart or similar.

Last but not least: the food is varied and delicious. The team are super friendly and the camp management are always approachable and absolutely open to suggestions.
Highly recommended for a family week!

It was our first time travelling with Wavetours. Everything was great, a fantastic team on site, we felt welcome and it was just brilliant… The surfing lessons were great and the instructors made the lessons fun and entertaining, and everyone learned how to surf. We’ll be going back again next year.

This year was a magical and varied yoga experience in the enchanted forest with Debbie! Yoga has always been my oasis and time-out from everyday life. However, Debbie’s design of the training and her personal energy and charisma, combined with the surroundings of the location, created a unique atmosphere for tension and, even more so, for relaxation. I haven’t experienced anything like this in a long time :D
Thank you, Wavetours, for Debbie, and thank you, Debbie, for your dedication! I would be delighted to see you again next year in Seignosse ;)
