Oribay Tours selected to join Donostia San Sebastián Premium

Oribay Tours has been selected to become part of Donostia San Sebastián Premium, the official platform of San Sebastián Tourism, which brings together a carefully curated selection of accommodation, restaurants, shops, agencies, transport services and experiences aimed at visitors seeking exclusive, personalised and high-quality proposals.

For us, this incorporation is a very special recognition. Oribay was born from the sea, from the bay, from the fishing tradition and from a very specific way of understanding San Sebastián:

through respect for the environment, local knowledge and the desire to share an authentic experience with those who visit the city.

Being part of the premium experiences is not simply a matter of appearing in a catalogue. The selected companies must meet a series of requirements and commitments that guarantee excellent service, a distinctive proposal and an experience worthy of a destination such as Donostia / San Sebastián. The quality of the service, the uniqueness of the proposal, the ability to personalise the experience and its coherence with a careful, responsible and detail-oriented tourism model are all taken into account.

In Oribay’s case, the experience is built around the sea. Our outings allow visitors to discover La Concha Bay and the Gipuzkoan coast from a close, educational and different perspective. Each route is adapted to the profile of the people who come on board, to their interests and to their previous connection with the marine world. It may be a relaxed outing to enjoy the landscape, an experience linked to seafaring culture, a responsible fishing trip or a tailor-made proposal.

As a professional skipper and specialised guide, I play a key role in each outing. It is not just about sailing, but about interpreting the surroundings, explaining what happens at sea and creating a close connection with those taking part in the experience. That human connection, together with the landscape and knowledge of the marine environment, makes each outing something unique.

Being part of Donostia San Sebastián Premium reinforces our commitment to a more selective, sustainable form of tourism connected to the local territory. A way of travelling that is not only about seeing a place, but about understanding it, experiencing it and remembering it.

At Oribay Tours, we welcome this selection with pride and with the excitement of continuing to show San Sebastián from one of its most privileged viewpoints: the sea.
