We had a great time on this tour, Nathan was a great guide and boat driver! It was a cool experience to see the coast from the water and hear about some of the homes and cities. The swimming stop was refreshing and the cave was cool to swim in, plenty of floaties and snorkeling gear to keep you busy! Would definitely do this again!
The tour was great and guide was amazing. Our family had a wonderful time and saw and learned lots about the area. Highly
Nathan was an excellent guide. Really enjoyed the snorkeling and boat ride. Would recommend.
Nathan was a fantastic guide. He paid attention to everyone’s needs onboard and also helped with pics for solo travelers. He was accommodating to everyone and made sure we all got pics we wanted too! I would have liked more time to swim at the cave but that wasn’t Nathan’s choice. I also thought the cave might be bigger lol
It’s a great way to cover a lot of the French Riviera. Our captain, Antoine, was funny and knowledgeable and made the excursion really engaging. We went at the end of June during a very hot summer and got to get in the water, which was the highlight of this for me! It’s a great length of time, and the ride is very fun.
Amazing time! Snorkeling was beautiful. The driver JB was gracious and helpful when I started feeling unwell. Very fun experience, definitely a must try when coming to Nice!
The speed boat was fun. Swimming by the cave was great! I wanted to stay in the water! The staff was great!
Great tour. Informative and funny boat captain. Antonio was a great guide and provided a perfect 2 hour tour.
Swimming at the Mala caves was amazing, boat guide JB was really knowledgeable and great sense of humour. Coming from Australia we really enjoyed the boat ride through the endless dream boats and beautiful scenery. Definitely helps if you're looking for a faster space experience. Would definitely go again
Thank you, Nathan!!! We loved the activity even though we had trouble finding the place where we were supposed to meet. 5/5 for the view and the service!!
