Cannes: Wild adventure in Kayaking, discovery of the Lerins Islands
Description
Forget the crowded boat trips: here we paddle in small groups, at your own pace, in full freedom. Our kayak tour to Sainte-Marguerite Island is more than just a boat trip — it’s a human and nature adventure, where memories are created naturally. With family or friends, we laugh, we play in the water, we explore secret coves, we snorke in crystal clear lagoons. The Guide is here to guide you, not to coerce you. You are free to enjoy, stop, swim, settle down. With the paddle strokes, we get closer. Nature, islands, and each other. This is the magic of Azure Caille: go back to basics, create strong bonds in an absolutely sumptuous setting. A unique experience on the French Riviera, to live at least once.

The kayak tour was great, Peter the guide was super nice and friendly, he did everything to make us the fabulous tour for us. The aperitif at sunset is also worth it with a very nice view. We were able to go snorkeling visit the island have fun in the water and see beautiful spots that we could not have seen alone. I recommend eyes closed ☀️🙌
We did the kayak tour to the Lérins Islands with Pierre as our guide, and it was absolutely amazing. The experience was incredible, slightly sporty but very manageable, even with kids. We discovered stunning places and felt supported the whole time by Pierre, who made everything fun and easy. We really felt like one big family, laughing, swimming, and enjoying the moment together. The aperitif was generous and delicious, with plenty of food to share. After a week in the South of France, this was by far the best activity we did. The value for money is outstanding, and the memories for our children will last a lifetime. We highly recommend it—go for it without hesitation!
