Great afternoon snorkeling in the Mediterranean. Short boat ride from dock to where we stopped. Guide was excellent and very friendly. All we needed was our bathing suites. Beautiful day too. A perfect amount of time too. Small group is the was to go!
We absolutely loved this snorkeling tour! It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon while enjoying the beautiful coastline. The tour lasted about three hours, which felt like the ideal amount of time—long enough to explore and relax without feeling rushed. The scenery was stunning, and the snorkeling was a lot of fun. Our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. He also gave us excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat in Old Town, which made the rest of our trip even better. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the French Riviera. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
We enjoyed snorkeling so much. Benoit was very nice and friendly. He explained us all the species that we saw and a bit of history of the area. I highly recommend this activity, especially in the morning.
This was a lovely experience and our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. He has a deep love of the ocean and environment and that really radiates in this tour.
Nice trip, guide was informative and kind. Equipment provided.
Good information about the trip, gear and dive. Good equipment and guide. Good hygiene and safety. Recommend
Thank you very much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you appreciated the information provided before the dive, the quality of our equipment, and the guidance from our team. Safety and hygiene are priorities for us, so it's especially rewarding to know they contributed to your experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another dive on the French Riviera! The Chango Diving Team
Delayed ride. The organizer arrived 5-10 minutes after the agreed time. The boat was in poor condition. Missing screws, loose rails. Little information of the guide. The guide spoke low, few who heard what he said. The boat was overbooked, 5 people did not join. 20 people in the boat, but only 2 life vests if anything happens. When everyone was in the water, no one was looking after. Then more fish on the beach. Overpriced compared to what we got. Steer away.
Bonjour, nous vous remercions de votre retour. Je vais échanger avec le guide d'afin 'améliorer la communication avec le groupe et s'assurer de son efficience dans différentes situations car nous n'avons normalement pas de retour sur celui ci depuis plusieurs saison. Je tiens cependant à rectifier plusieurs informations que vous rapportez qui sont injustifiées et pourraient compromettre la perception de notre activité. Le guide était à la fois sur le bateau et dans l'eau à rencontrer les groupes de snorkeling afin de s'assurer de leur sécurité. Il a d'ailleurs aidé une cliente avec des difficultés de nage à revenir au bateau durant l'excursion à laquelle vous participiez. Il est normal que vous ne vous en êtes pas rendu compte car nous ne souhaitons pas entacher l'expérience de tous nos clients lors de ces incidents mineurs. Nos guides sont des instructeur professionnels et sauveteurs professionnels. En ce qui concerne le matériel de sécurité, il ne se limite pas à ce que vous pouvez voir sur le pont... Certains gilets sont disponibles pour aider les personnes les moins à l'aise durant l'excursion, et donc visibles. Nous disposons cependant de 10 % de plus de gilets que la capacité maximale du navire.... Concernant le retard annoncé, notre moniteur était présent 15 min en avance. Nous vous avions contacté comme tous les clients pour vous annoncer un décalage de 30 min sur l'horaire réservé plusieurs heures plus tôt. Enfin, les personnes que vous annoncez refusées n'étaient pas nos clients mais ceux du club de plongée voisin.... Nous ne pratiquons pas de surbooking...
Great time. Tour guide was extremely friendly and helpful! We would definitely go again. Highly recommended.
First time , top experience for fish lovers. Appreciated, explanation about the region brings a cultural touch to exploit to differentiate.
It was a great tour. Chris , our guide, took good care of us and told us details about the region and buildings , we passed by with the boat . We did the tour in October on a sunny day and it was not too cold with the wet suit . We could see meanwhile snorkeling a bunch of different fishes directly under us. Recommendation!
