Go on a boat trip and snorkeling in the bay of Villefranche - sur - Mer departing from the port of Nice.
We will first welcome you in our premises equipped with changing rooms and showers in order to distribute your snorkeling equipment.
Once your group is equipped, we will show you the course of your excursion, how to use and adjust your snorkeling equipment and what underwater species you are likely to encounter.
When this first part is completed, you will embark on one of our semi-rigid boats for ten minutes of navigation towards the bay of Villefranche - sur - Mer. After having listened to the advice of your instructor describing the most attractive areas, you will then be able to get into the water under the direct supervision of your eco-guide of the sea, also a state-qualified scuba diver or apnea. Take advantage of the sars, sea breams, sea urchins or other inhabitants of the Riviera's seabed!

Chris was knowledgeable and patient. He allowed us to enjoy the experience without feeling like we were on the clock

Accurate briefing, equipment very well maintained. Safe diving possible with a very precise and caring guide. There was a lot to see

Very chill staff. Nice 15-20 boat ride out to Cape Ferrat. About an hour of snorkeling. Saw good amounts of fish and corals. Nice ride back. Good to get in the water. They give you wetsuits but not really needed. They help you float easier.

It was a great tour. The instructors and guides was very professional and directions were clear. It was a great time. We saw jelly fish and others with us saw a octopus!

An awesome experience!! You meet at the harbour and then climb aboard the speed boat.
Just so you’re aware this is not like other boat/snorkel tours. It’s a speed boat and you are out in the elements.
You go very fast and there isn’t room to store anything on the boat besides where you sit.
I loved how authentic the trip was and would definitely do it again!!

So, it was a really lovely sunny day. We'd planned this event for a while. However, we wouldn't do it with the same company again. Largely due to how unsafe we felt on the journey to and from our snorklering spot. We'd been warned about choppy water and asked if we could swim. BUT MY GOD! one of the girls nearly went over board twice due to the speed at which we traveled over the choppy water. My partner was sea sick the whole time, so take some anti-nausia tablets! While I swam rather happily, the flippers were super hard to use, and while we had a clear view of largely brown fish, it just wasn't quiet what we had hoped. Overall, I think our expidition should have been rearranged or cancled due to the waters choppy-ness, and that the crew should have checked to see if the passangers were super stong swimmers. For over half hour only 3 of the 8 could actually manage in the water. Male tour captain was kind but prehaps a little too laid back and busy chatting.

Super fun snorkeling trip and the ocean was beautiful. It’s a great place to snorkel as there aren’t strong waves or currents. The guide was great! We had a lot of fun.

We were all left standing for an hour outside in the sun while the guides faffed about inside the office. They only started attending to us when we all started to go into their office to see what was happening a half hour past departure was due.
They didn't have their act together. One guy was checking in the whole very large group and handing out fins and forgetting to hand out masks, while the two sour faced girls stood behind the counter ignoring everyone and staring at their phones. Even though they were very late they weren't bothered to help. When asked about wetsuits we were told we'd get them later, but nope, that didn't happen.
I sensed they were about to leave so I asked about the wetsuits and they looked genuinely annoyed that a few of us wanted them. They only gave them to those of us who asked. There was barley enough time to change to them after standing around for ages before that. There was no toilet an the changing area was a joke.
We had to wait ages because a second boat hadn't arrived yet. Then after we left, the driver of our boat realised we all had bags that should have been left behind and had to pull in at another berth to put our bags off the boat because they'd be soaked. Nobody had told us otherwise.
No safety briefing ensued. No showing people how to use the snorkel gear. Some of us who had done it before showed others but quite a few I noticed were out of the water quickly and just stayed on the beach. The reason transpired after....they were too cold in the water without wetsuits or couldnt use their snorkel gear properly.
Of course the guides had wetsuits.
Nobody came with our snorkelling group in the water. The driver of our speedboat instructed us of the parameters we could swim within and also told us to hold on to ropes when he accelerated. He told us how to re-board the boat safely. Apart from this there was little or no instructions and completely no communication.
The marine life is scarce. There was actually more at the harbour.
Yes it's nice to do a boat trip, snorkel and see the coastline.
No, don't do it with this company.
They made it clear that they were not in the humour for this trip, made no apologies for being at least 1 hour late and lacked any enthusiasm or competency to handle a group.

Boat that was transporting us to the snorkel area was over crowded, holding 18 people at one point. This resulted in my partner injuring herself on the plastic box (dry items box) due to the squeeze and Journey. I would recommend a maximum of 10-12 people in future per group.
Nothing to suggest the snorkels had been cleaned etc.
Lacked engagement from instructor whilst in water, my previous experiences the instructors would help
Find fish and point them out potentially getting them to follow you etc.
Overall average at best.

The experience was amazing! I would totally recommend it. The Guides are really nice and helpful, you get everything explained and do not have to worry about anything.
