Explore the legendary Lérins Islands on an immersive expedition combining kayaking, history, wildlife and snorkelling, just a stone's throw from Cannes.
You'll meet your guide on the golden sands of Palm Beach, where you'll embark on a smooth and safe kayaking trip to Sainte-Marguerite Island, one of the jewels of the French Riviera.
Once on the island, it's time to explore on foot: a walk through the eucalyptus and maritime pine forests will take you to Fort Royal, the former prison of the Man in the Iron Mask. Your guide will tell you about the mysteries of this place steeped in history.
Afterwards, you will have some free time to:
• Swim in sheltered, uncrowded coves,
• Snorkel around the Cannes Underwater Ecomuseum, which is suitable even for beginners,
• Observe local wildlife (peacocks, seabirds, fish) in an unspoiled environment.
A gourmet, artisanal picnic is served on a secluded beach (if you choose the option for an additional fee). The spot is perfect for relaxing, savouring the moment, laughing together and sunbathing, lulled by the lapping of the waves (morning option 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.), with views of the turquoise waters and the red cliffs of the Estérel.
Around 7:00 p.m. (afternoon option), a festive aperitif (cured meats, French cheeses, homemade hummus, fresh vegetables, etc.) awaits you to round off this magical moment (if you choose the add-on option) before heading back out to sea, slowly, following the golden light of the afternoon to return to Cannes.
Every metre travelled offers a new vantage point. Each group creates its own adventure. Whether you are a couple, a group of friends or a family, this is an unforgettable sensory experience, where gentle exercise, breathtaking scenery, heavenly swimming and marine discoveries come together perfectly.
Please note: This tour is physically demanding. It takes place on the open sea, under the sun with its glare, and requires a good level of fitness. You must know how to swim and be comfortable kayaking. Bring sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, and enough water to stay hydrated throughout the tour. Make sure you are well rested and ready to face the heat and physical exertion to get the most out of this experience.
