Opt for this excursion to the Esterel coves departing from Saint-Raphael or Fréjus. In a small group aboard a comfortable 12-passenger boat, set off to explore every nook and cranny of the coast. You will appreciate the sumptuous landscapes during this ride punctuated by the captain’s comments.
As soon as you leave the port, head towards Esterel and admire the Hearth Lion and the Sea Lion, small islands near Boulouris and Valescure. Discover beautiful landscapes. Slowly cut through the waves near the Old Islands, a small rocky islet. The boat will also maneuver in the magnificent bay of Agay where even the dust, according to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, smells good. Then head towards our jewels: Cap Dramont, Ile d’Or, the calanques of Anthéor. Appreciate the Golden Island, from which Hergé took inspiration for his famous album of the adventures of Tintin the Black Island.
Further up, admire the peaks of Esterel: Cap Roux and The Bear Mountain.
Your boat will approach as close as possible to the coastline and guide you where a larger boat cannot reach! At minimum speed, take the time to observe and enjoy the wonders that surround you. Close to the coast, also admire the caves whose rock and faults have been sculpted by erosion.
Discover secret coves that are difficult to access for other boats.
Jacques, your captain on board, will be happy to tell you the history of the region, to inform you about the fauna, flora, and geological characteristics of this formation of volcanic origin. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to satisfy your curiosity!
During this escape at sea, the boat will stop and let you bask in the warmth of the sun and the azure blue sky, accompanied by a well-deserved refreshment to relax you.
You can also relax in one of the wild coves of Esterel. This recreational break at sea will also be the time for you to watch for underwater wildlife! **
Furthermore, do you know why the rock of the Estérel massif is red? This color is due to rhyolite, a rock resulting from lava brought to the surface following the movement of tectonic plates causing volcanic flows.
Don’t wait any longer for a boat excursion from Saint-Raphael or Fréjus which will take you to uncover the mysteries of the Estérel coves.
The Calanques near Saint Raphaël contain unusual panoramas, which are all part of the beauty of this region. Rich in a varied landscape, still a little sheltered from the tumults of everyday life, these coves will make you succumb to their beauty.
