Guided Snorkeling Excursion in Villefranche-sur-Mer Bay from Nice

With its superb seabed teeming with fish, the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the best places on the French Riviera to go snorkelling in Nice from a boat. And if you are not sure what to expect underwater, or where to look to observe the underwater fauna, nothing beats this guided snorkelling excursion departing from the port of Nice!

Providing all the snorkelling equipment you need (fins, mask and snorkel, and even a full wetsuit if required), as well as the advantage of having a guide by your side and a fish identification booklet on board the boat, this activity will give you an unforgettable snorkelling experience in Nice. Right from the start, you will be delighted to be able to admire the port and cape of Nice from the boat, as well as the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, which you will sail towards to reach the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Once you arrive at the snorkelling site, you will have the pleasure of diving into the clear and warm waters (24 to 28°C) of the Villefranche harbour in a small group of 12 people maximum, at depths ranging from 2 to 6 metres. The guide will be in the water with you for 20 minutes to show you from the surface the treasures that are hidden here (starfish, sea urchins, and even small octopuses for the lucky ones), then will come back on board the boat to leave you 25 to 30 minutes of snorkelling on your own, still under his supervision.

Suitable for anyone who can swim, from the age of 5 upwards, this guided snorkelling excursion in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer will give you up to 1 hour of swimming in fish-filled waters, a refreshing experience not to be missed from Nice!
