Hyères: Morning Discovery – Guided Coastal Tour by Catamaran｜France

Discover Hyères in a different way: from the sea! Set sail from the Port of Hyères aboard the Iladora maxi-catamaran for a unique cruise in the Mediterranean. Explore Port-Cros National Park, a protected natural area, and sail along the Giens Peninsula, with its cliffs, unspoiled coves, and crystal-clear waters. The cruise will take you to the island of Porquerolles and Pointe des Mèdes, offering breathtaking views of the Hyères coastline and the Hyères Islands.

The crew will take you on a guided tour featuring anecdotes, history, and information about marine wildlife, allowing you to discover the heritage and biodiversity of Port-Cros National Park and the Hyères Islands. The cruise continues to Fort de Brégançon, a former fortress and the official residence of the President of the Republic, which can be seen from the sea at a spectacular angle.

The catamaran then drops anchor between Îlot du Jardin and Fort de Brégançon, in a pristine natural setting. Enjoy paddleboarding, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on board while taking in the beauty of the Hyères Islands and the Hyères coastline. An aperitif (punch planteur) and soft drinks are included in this unique experience. The return journey follows the coastline, offering one last panoramic view of the unspoiled beaches and coves of Hyères, Porquerolles, and Giens.

Everything is included: maxi-catamaran excursion, professional crew, guided tour, anchoring, paddleboards, snorkeling, soft drinks, and an aperitif. No extra costs are expected.
