Description

Embark on an unforgettable kayaking or canoeing adventure from Soleil Beach in Golfe-Juan, close to the port. At 9 a.m., meet your enthusiastic guide for a half-day of escape on the Mediterranean Sea, exploring, swimming, enjoying the wilderness, and discovering marine life. On board your boat, you'll paddle peacefully along the beautiful Mediterranean coast between Golfe-Juan and Cannes. For about an hour and a half, you'll discover hidden beaches, dream villas, wild coves, and sometimes surprising marine wildlife. It's an opportunity to contemplate the French Riviera coastline from a unique perspective, lulled by the lapping of the water. At around 10:30 a.m., off Palm Beach, you will begin the crossing to the Lérins Islands. This channel is protected, allowing for peaceful sailing, even in the midst of maritime traffic. After about 30 minutes, you will reach the islands between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m., depending on the pace of the group. Upon arrival, a surprise awaits you: a pirate-style welcome cocktail served on a peaceful beach. The atmosphere relaxes and smiles spread across faces. Then the second part of the adventure begins: swimming in crystal-clear water, a fun treasure hunt for all ages, your first snorkeling experience in an exceptional biodiversity, or a short walk to explore Sainte-Marguerite or Saint-Honorat Island. Around noon, you'll enjoy a generous picnic at a secret spot—a secluded cove known only to locals. It's the perfect place to relax, lie in the sun, and share a moment out of time, far from the crowds. After lunch, the exploration continues. You'll kayak around Sainte-Marguerite Island until you reach a unique underwater eco-museum. Equipped with a mask and snorkel (provided), you'll dive down to discover impressive sculptures submerged between 5 and 7 meters deep. It's a real aquatic museum in the middle of the sea! On the way back, you'll land on a secret beach in the heart of the calanques, with turquoise waters perfect for a final swim. Then it's time to head back to Golfe-Juan by kayak. You'll arrive between 3 and 4 p.m., depending on the pace of the group and how you feel. This unique activity combines gentle exercise, adventure, nature, art, snorkeling, and relaxation. Accessible to all levels, it is perfect for families, groups of friends, or couples looking for a memorable experience during their stay on the French Riviera. Each outing is different, each group creates its own memories—but everyone leaves with a smile.
