Full description

A skipper takes a small group by semi-rigid boat along the coast from Nice for a swim and snorkel near the Mala Caves, followed by roughly 45 to 60 minutes to explore Villefranche before returning. Guidance is bilingual, music plays aboard, and masks, snorkels, life jackets and insurance are provided.

Reviewers single out the skippers' local knowledge and relaxed, fun atmosphere, and the near-perfect rating reflects how well the cave swim and the harbour stop work together. Swimming is unsupervised and limited to confident swimmers, and weather can change the route or stops.
