Departures from Quiberon (20 km from Erdeven – 25 min by car)
A natural extension of a visit to Quiberon, the islands of the Morbihan offer a unique maritime getaway. Quiberon is one of the main departure ports for cruises and crossings to these island gems. Each island has its own character, rhythm and charm, inviting you to discover a blend of land, sea and authentic Breton spirit.
Belle-Île-en-Mer
The largest of the Breton islands, Belle-Île-en-Mer lives up to its name. Wild, bright and welcoming, it delights visitors with its varied landscapes: impressive cliffs, hidden coves and picturesque ports. Not to be missed: Sauzon harbour, the Port-Coton Needles and the charming streets of Le Palais. Enjoy coastal hiking, cycling or simply taking in a timeless moment. Houat and Hoëdic, its neighbouring islands, lie close by and form a small, beautifully preserved archipelago.
Île de Houat
Small, peaceful and bordered by turquoise waters, Houat Island is a true haven of nature. Here, no cars: you explore on foot or by bike, enjoying the calm and natural beauty. Its long white-sand beaches, coastal paths and authentic atmosphere make it an ideal destination for a full day of escape.
Île d’Hoëdic
Even more intimate, Hoëdic Island charms visitors with its secluded and unspoilt atmosphere. Discover a pretty flowered village, a historic fort and exceptionally tranquil coves. It is the perfect place to completely disconnect, in tune with the sea and the wind.
Île aux Moines
Accessible from the Gulf of Morbihan, Île aux Moines is nicknamed “the pearl of the gulf”. Flower-lined lanes, white houses with blue shutters and small sheltered beaches create a real postcard setting. Easy to explore on foot or by bike, it offers a gentle, romantic escape – perfect for a peaceful day out.
Île d’Arz
A neighbour of Île aux Moines, Île d’Arz appeals to lovers of hiking and sailing. Less frequented, it retains an authentic charm with its marine landscapes, old mills and discreet beaches. It is an ideal island for observing nature and enjoying the quiet beauty of the gulf.
Île de Groix
Accessible from Lorient, Groix Island offers a unique island experience. Known for its famous convex beach “Les Grands Sables”, unique in Europe, Groix combines maritime traditions, wild coves and a friendly atmosphere.
