Tour Options
Itinerary
Departure from Port du Béal towards the Calanques de l'Estérel for a 2.5-hour exploration of secret coves and turquoise waters.
Mandelieu-la-Napoule
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.
Theoule-sur-Mer
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.
Esterel Cote d'Azur - Corniche d'Or
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.

Highly recommended!!
The experience is very nice, the guide spoke English and was excellent and very kind. We went to see the Theoule-sur-Mer area, with many luxury houses, including the one belonging to Lacoste, and finally we passed through the Calanques, with two stops to swim in areas with many fish present. The price is certainly very high for the experience itself, but on the French Riviera it is rare to find lower ones
