Description

Come aboard our semi-rigids and let our captains take you on a discovery through the natural parc of Estérel. Starting in Cannes we will show you the region's natural riches, far away from the image of man-made luxury you find in magazines.


Let us guide you in the heart of the Estérel natural parcs for an unusual 2h30 excursion on the mediterranean sea. Get away from the crowds on the coast and enjoy your surroundings.


Prepare for bright coves and mystical caves that might just leave you in absolute awe. Nicknamed the “Corniche d’Or” by locals, you will be amazed by this unique spectacle you cannot find anywhere other than at sea. We depart the port of Béal multiple times a day to offer you the privilege to experience the beauty of the French Riviera first-hand.

Beautiful

Global rating Quality/price Fun

The guide didn’t speak English even though the trip was supposed to be in English. It was a very pretty ride but we really expected to learn something. We rode for 2.5 hours in silence.

splendid boat trip

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Fantastic experience, places were really fabulous, nature and landscapes were amazing. Our Captain, Ms. Romain has been a perfect guide, teaching us a lot of stories about nature, history and gossips of the area Speaking a perfect English (and very good looking!) was always nice and kind. Value for 3 hours so well spent is more than reasonable. Enjoy!

Top experience! Bruno is in vele reviews al geroemd en dat kunnen we alleen maar onderschrijven! Kundige en ervaren kapitein met gevoel voor de groep en plezier in zijn werk! De trip heeft alles: hard varen voor de adrenaline junks, rustig varen langs de prachtige rotskusten en waanzinnige huizen en natuurlijk als klap op de vuurpijl het snorkelen! Neem je eigen snorkels mee en koop bij de kassa voor 6 euro een hoesje voor je mobiel om onder water prachtige foto’s te kunnen maken! Top trip waarmee we onze vakantie hebben afgesloten!

Great fun

My wife and I had a really good experience with the boat trip. It was great fun to swim from the boat during the 2 stops we had on the trip. I would recommend to bring diving goggles to get the full experience. The boat driver told some fun facts along the ride and was really good at making us feel welcome and safe. I can recommend it to everyone.

Interessant, spaßig und netter Guide (Romanne)

Global rating Quality/price Fun

Schöne kleine Rundfahrt mit einigen interessanten Details der Küste und den dort ansässigen Prominenten. Zwei Stationen an denen man kurz ins Wasser springen kann. Die Bilder der Homepage sind tatsächlich etwas schöner, als es in Wirklichkeit war. Ein zweites Mal würde ich nicht buchen, aber die Kinder fanden es toll.

Hi, Thank you for taking time to let a comment. Sorry to read you didn't enjoy the natural park. Regards, Black tender.

Fantastic boat tour, definitely worth the money, would love to do it again. Captain was great and did both French and English. The swim time was fun but make sure to bring your own goggles or snorkel.

Perfect Speedboat / Snorkling adventure

Global rating Quality/price Fun

It was a great excursion, a perfect trip in length/experience. We have only one uncomfortable situation, our captain could not speak in English however we indicated before departure our lack of French.

Provider response

Hi Torda, thank for your note, have a good day!

Nice trip, more for French speaking

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We had a nice boat trip with the Black Tenders. This piece of coast is beautiful. Don’t expect too much of the stops, the snorkeling or the ‘translated’ guiding. That’s all pretty mediocre. Our guide had his saying in French for the French-speaking passengers, recorded what he said with a translation computer and then played it via a little speaker for the non-French. Most of it was hard to understand and poorly translated.

Provider response

Hi Caroline, thanks for your feel back, have a good holidays.

If you want to Snorkel, don't go!

Global rating Quality/price Fun

It was supposed to be 2.5 hours, it only lasted 2 hours. It is called a Snorkeling experience, but they didn't provide any snorkeling equipment. We had our snorkeling masks so that was good, but we were in the water for only 12 minutes in an area where there was nothing of worth to see.

Provider response

Hi Dan, thanks for your fell back, also we use to lend the snorkeling masks but since the COVID we are not allowed anymore, sorry for the misunderstanding, hope you a good day.

ALEXANDRO BEST CAPTAIN EVER

Great experience

Global rating Quality/price Fun

We were really happy with the boat excursion. They were really prepared, even provided a life jacket if someone doesn't feel confident in swimming. The only negative thing was that our captain didn't speak English and it was hard to communicate with him, asking questions etc. One of the other attendees was speaking French and translated us but still it would be better if we could communicate more with the captain so he can tell us interesting stories about the region. Everything else was perfect! Highly recommend it! ❤️

I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Our skipper was great and showed us lots of caves and coves that we would not have seen other than by rib. It is also a beautiful stretch of coastline !

Great experience. Had two teens and boats are light and fast-they enjoyed the ride and scenery was beautiful. Our guide talked just enough but not too much. Would do again. Good value. A little out of the way from Nice but not to difficult to get there between train and Uber.

Dear Kelly, many thanks for your review. We are very happy that you and your teens enjoy the ride :) Hope to see back. Our best
