Details
Come and spend a day in the heart of nature off the Cap d'Antibes with our boat trip to Antibes with snorkeling and dolphin watching departing from Villeneuve-Loubet. Our excursion will allow you to enjoy the magnificent landscapes of this section of the French Riviera while learning about its fragile ecosystem. Young and old alike will be delighted by this tour, which includes the observation of marine animals in their natural habitat, a snorkeling trip and a dreamlike setting.
We will start the day at our center, where we will explain the programme and hand out the equipment. Then we will board the boat and head for the Cap d'Antibes. We will spend the morning watching cetaceans and sunfish in the open sea. We are indeed in the Pelagos sanctuary, a protected maritime area that extends from Hyères to Italy. It will be an opportunity for your captain to tell you about the specificities of the pelagic ecosystem.
By lunchtime, we will anchor in the famous Billionaires Bay. Once the picnic break is over, we'll stay there to do some snorkeling and discover the thriving underwater life. Your guide will use educational documents listing the different species you may come across. After 2 hours on site, we will head back to Villeneuve-Loubet. This will be an opportunity to admire the most beautiful sites along the coastline: the Anse de l'Argent Faux, the Garoupe lighthouse, the ramparts of the old town of Antibes, the Port Vauban, etc.

It was a fantastic day. The tour was definitely worthwhile. We even saw dolphins. We especially appreciated the wealth of information provided about the wildlife we encountered. The two guides were incredibly friendly and helpful. We will definitely book the tour again.

We did the tour with a group of teenagers. Sadly, we didn’t see any dolphins, but we still had a lot of fun. We especially enjoyed swimming in the middle of the sea, where the water was 1,000 metres deep. It was a really cool experience because it’s not something you get to do every day.
The boat ride itself was also a lot of fun (it almost felt like being on a speedboat). We also really enjoyed the snorkeling part. The guides showed us some interesting things and explained a bit what we were seeing.
Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely recommend this tour!

A real treat for open sea enthusiasts. We saw two pods of dolphins.
Great snorkeling tour at the end of the trip.
