About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring the Camargue's wetlands and wildlife on a private guided day trip from nearby Provence. Start with your choice of activities—saddle up across the marshes, ride in a traditional carriage, or visit the bird sanctuary to spot flamingos and rare species. Afterwards, wander the narrow streets of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a fortified coastal village, and grab lunch at a local spot. Air-conditioned transport and water included throughout.

What to expect
Your day kicks off with a private pick-up in an air-conditioned van. Choose one main activity: riding horses through the flat, open plains where wild bulls, horses and birds roam; bouncing along in an open carriage if you prefer to stay seated; or standing quietly at the bird reserve, binoculars in hand, scanning for flamingos and raptors. Afterwards, your guide drives you to Saintes-Maries, a walled village perched on the Méditerranée coast. You'll have time to wander its tight medieval streets, pop into the church, and find a café or restaurant for lunch (your shout). The van stays on hand for the return journey.
