Full description

Aboard a wooden boat, this cruise leaves Nice and heads along the coast to Villefranche Bay near Cap Ferrat, where the boat stops for a swim and snorkel in sheltered water. Equipment is provided, along with a wetsuit when the water temperature calls for one.

Participants must be able to swim without flotation aids, and children are accepted from age twelve with an adult. Reviewers praise the helpful crew, the safety briefing and the snorkelling spot, and first-timers say they felt well looked after, though the basic boat is not the most comfortable.
