★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 430 reviews · 1h 30m · from $64

Set out from Port Lympia in a small group of up to 12 with guides such as Leo and Jean-Baptiste. Cruise past Cap-Ferrat, stop to swim and snorkel in Villefranche Bay, enjoy wine and homemade Niçois snacks, then watch the sunset near Cap de Nice. The RIB can move fast, so bring a towel and expect an active ride.

“I loved all of it! But it could be even better with more than one kind of snack offered. I also think potential customers need warning that it's a RIB and goes very fast at times. I loved that but my friend wasn't too happy. Swimming was fab, but it's off the side of thd boat into deep water. Not for those who don't like getting out of their depth and you havd to climb up a ladder to get back in. That's hard work and I needed help. But I did love the whole experience.”
