Description
Of all the islands in Brittany, the Glenan archipelago is only an hour’s crossing from the mainland, but the 22 islands and islets make for a complete change of scenery.
Let your mind wander, gaze at the evocative blue-green of the sea, imagine your own authentic “Brittany”, breathe in that wonderful iodized air, between sky and sea, and soak up the invigorating marine atmosphere. Welcome to the Glenan Islands!
Les Vedettes de l’Odet first moors at the slipway on Saint Nicolas island for a free stopover. The whiteness of the sand and the transparency of the water invite you to relax and unwind. Saint Nicolas Island, though small in size, offers magnificent views over the archipelago, and beautiful stretches of beach to bask on.
At low tide, the Tombolo, a sandbar on the island of Saint Nicolas, opens up to join the island of Bananec. Beautiful setting for souvenir photos!
In the afternoon, you’ll embark on a one-hour guided cruise of the Glenan archipelago. The on-board guide, who is passionate about the region, will share his knowledge. Penfret, Bananec, Le Loch, Drenec, Fort Cigogne and all the other Glenan islands will hold no secrets for you. Just like the flora and fauna that inhabit the islands: oystercatchers, terns and other seabirds. Navigation, fishing and historical anecdotes will round out this great guided cruise. A must if you want to visit the Glenans for real!

FAQs
Saint Nicolas is the only island with a slipway where our boats can dock. During your guided cruise through the archipelago, you’ll sail as close as possible to all the other islands, without disembarking.
You’ll enjoy maximum visibility to port and starboard as there are fewer people on the launch during the guided island tour. The guide’s anecdotes will capture your attention and that of your children!
Seals and dolphins occasionally frequent the Glenan archipelago, so get out your camera if you’re lucky enough to come across them! Most of the time we can see them during the crossing.
