Our tips for Bordeaux

  • Book Boat Excursions Early: Morning catamaran and boat charters typically experience calmer waters and lighter winds than late afternoon departures.
  • Water Shoes & Cenote Gear: Bring non-slip water shoes and waterproof phone pouches for exploring rocky coastal coves, coral reefs, or natural sinkholes.
  • Local Gratuity Customs: A gratuity (propina) of 10-15% is standard practice for restaurant servers, tour guides, and boat crew across resort regions.
  • Reserve Eco-Tours in Advance: Popular marine reserves, eco-adventure parks, and island day trips frequently cap daily visitor numbers to protect local ecosystems.

Good to know

Set along the sweeping curve of the Garonne River and surrounded by the world's most prestigious wine estates, Bordeaux is an exceptional culinary destination. The quintessential season to visit is autumn (September to October), when the annual grape harvest (vendanges) is underway, filling regional estates with buzzing energy and crisp afternoon sunshine. Late spring (May to June) brings lush green vineyards, mild temperatures for cycling along the riverfront, and vibrant terrace dining across historic squares. Summer (July to August) brings lively riverfront festivals and easy day trips to the Atlantic sands of Arcachon Bay, while winter offers intimate cellar-door tastings and hearty regional cuisine.
