Itinerary
Departure from Port du Béal towards the Calanques de l'Estérel for a 2.5-hour exploration of secret coves and turquoise waters.
To reach the magnificent coves of the Estérel, your route will take you across Mandelieu Bay, dominated by the iconic Château de la Napoule, a true architectural jewel.
As you sail along Théoule-sur-Mer, admire the spectacular cliffs of Pointe de l'Aiguille and their secret coves, then discover two iconic sites: the Maison Bulle and the Palais Bulle, perched on the cliff. From our Black Tenders, you will also enjoy a privileged view of Port la Galère, a private and exclusive seaside resort that is usually inaccessible and can only be seen up close from the sea. The red rocks typical of the Estérel and its Mediterranean vegetation complete this unique natural setting.
As you arrive in the Estérel, the Corniche d'Or reveals its red rocks plunging into turquoise waters. Enjoy a refreshing break in a secluded cove, then let yourself be surprised by a secret cave accessible only from the sea, in the heart of this spectacular natural setting.
Cap Roux is a cape located on the French Riviera, in the Estérel massif, between Agay and Théoule-sur-Mer, near the Anthéor district of Saint-Raphaël, in the Var department. It is one of the most beautiful sites in the massif.
On your return to port, enjoy one last glimpse of the turquoise waters and unspoiled coves of the Estérel. Savor the calm of the sea and the exceptional panoramic views of the coastline before returning to port, your eyes filled with memories.

Amazing day amazing guide - perfect weather-great stops to swim - very friendly and informative guide-
We were informed of the cancellation of the excursion half an hour before departure. Really not cool.
So exciting to see the coast line - dramatic and beautiful. We had a rough day so if the rock of the boat doesn’t suit you this trip would not be for you - but if you love boats then this trip is unbeatable
Really a lovely experience and a great way to get another view of Cannes and the fabulous Esterel. Highly recommended!!
What a great, informative experience. It was fun - safe - with a great guide. The Côte d’Azur is beautiful
Great 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!
So 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.
Fantastic tour with a great guide showing us the other side of the Esterel. It was so nice to get off the road and on the water. 🌸
What 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.
Trop 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.
