5.00Great adventure - this trip allows you to see the coast close up. The rocky coves we were able to get into with this type of boat were neat to see. Bring a sweater - the air is cooler when zipping along in the fall - and bring your bathing suit, a towel and bottle of bubbly to enjoy after a dip in the Mediterranean!

5.00So fun and relaxing. The coastline is beautiful and our guide gave great commentary. He stopped at a beautiful spot to swim and snorkel. Although not that much to see snorkeling, a few fish and an occasional little jellyfish, the water is so clear and beautiful. We had soooo much fun. Even saw a dolphin on the way back in. I highly recommend this trip.
Great afternoon on the beautiful waters of Esterel!

5.00What a beautiful way to see Cannes! We were on a cruise and only got to see the city for the day, so we’re so happy we broke away from the bus tours and did this! The water was gorgeous and our guide did the perfect amount of talking versus showing us the sites. Got to hop off and swim in the water, as well as snorkel and see some fish. Beautiful natural scenery as well as homes and areas.

5.00Trop top . PA is a great browser .and gave us a great guided tour . We were quite surprised at the seat on the boat that looks like a horse saddle. Landscapes too beautiful. Only the jellyfish that invited themselves to visit. I recommend this excursion.
Amazing trip!

5.00This trip is soooo good. Lovely boats, nice engines, super skipper (Stephane). There is nothing less than great for this tour. The boats are super-safe and our skipper was friendly, professional, safe, knowledgeable, enthusiastic. He related to everyone on board to make the best of the trip for each individual. The trip lasts a full 2.5 hours. High-speed fun across the bay, then a guided tour along the coast pointing out interesting bits and pieces. First anchor in a lovely cove for snorkelling, then more tour, then more snorkelling. Another safe and exhilarating fun high-speed blast (what a boat!) back across the bay back to base and off we went with a grateful handshake. Good value too.
Must do!
