Details
Embark on a round trip ferry to Porquerolles Island and discover all its beauty during an unforgettable day. We will first meet at the port of Le Lavandou before heading south towards Porquerolles. Once we arrive, you will have free time to visit this paradisaical oasis in our own way and making unforgettable memories alongside your beloved ones. In August, there are several departures, allowing you to manage your time on the island.
Also known as the "Pearl of the Golden Islands", Porquerolles is a sublime site which gathers a wide diversity of landscapes. The first thing that you might want to do when arriving is taking a swim on the Notre Dame beach that was awarded the title of the "most beautiful beach in Europe" in 2015. Of course other marvellous beaches are present on the island such as the famous Silver Beach, the most popular with tourists. Under the radiant sun, especially during summer, there is nothing better. You could also go for a hike and explore the nature in order to get a panoramic view of the island from above. If you are looking for something more relaxing, taking a stroll within the streets of its beautiful village gives a unique feeling that you will love. If you are a history enthusiast, exploring the ancient forts and monuments will undoubtedly be your guilty pleasure. Among them, you can find the Grand Langoustier fort, Alycastre fort, Sainte Agathe fort or Repentance fort, each more stunning than the others.
Finally, before leaving, do not forget to visit the Cap d'Arme lighthouse located at the edge of the cliffs as well as the Windmill of Happiness, an old windmill from the 18th century which has been recently renovated. When the time is up, we will return to the boat and finish our day, where it started. Naturally, our experienced and enthusiastic crew will always be here for you to make your return more pleasant.Highlights
