Departing from Mandelieu, your skipper will take you to Théoule-sur-Mer, the Aiguille, La Galère, and the Calanques of Trayas—sites considered among the most spectacular on the French Riviera. Cap Roux, Anthéor, and Île d'Or complete this journey through unspoiled nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the major seaside resorts.
The red porphyry cliffs contrast with the Mediterranean vegetation and crystal-clear waters: a geological spectacle unique in France. Between scenic viewpoints, a swim in a sheltered cove rewards the exploration.
This small-group excursion is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those who enjoy swimming off the beaten track.
