Go on a snorkeling hike in a small group (6 people maximum), supervised by a state-certified instructor, for a friendly, safe experience accessible to all.

The activity starts from the beach, which makes it possible to limit the environmental impact by eliminating motorized trips at sea and the associated disturbances. This gentler approach helps preserve the tranquility of the site and the richness of its marine ecosystems. It is also a real comfort for you: no feeling of seasickness, a gradual launch into the water, and a more natural experience, directly connected to the marine environment. An immersion in the heart of Mediterranean biodiversity In the crystal clear waters of the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbor, you will discover a rich and vibrant ecosystem. Accompanied by your live guide, you move gently on the surface of the water and observe the Mediterranean flora and fauna: damselfish, damselfish, starfish, sea urchins, octopuses, and above all the vast Posidonia seagrass beds, the true lungs of the Mediterranean. Each outing is different, as the sea is a living and changing environment. An eco-friendly and educational approach Throughout the experience, you'll learn about the preservation of marine ecosystems. The goal is simple: observe without disturbing, explore without damaging. You learn to better understand this fragile environment, its balance, and its importance. The sea is not a backdrop, but a living world that must be respected.
