Embark on a day of escape to the wildest of the Hyères Islands: Port-Cros, Europe’s first marine park. From the charming port of Bormes-les-Mimosas – La Favière, enjoy a guided crossing aboard our next-generation hybrid boat, which combines thermal performance and quiet electric propulsion, making it ideal for approaching the coast in complete discretion.
Sail in comfort, getting up close to coves, cliffs, and protected landscapes. During the roughly 45-minute crossing, our enthusiastic crew will share with you the secrets of this unique island. Commentary is provided orally in French, and a self-guided audio tour is also available on your smartphone in English, German, Dutch, and Italian.
Upon arrival, let yourself be captivated by the peaceful atmosphere of Port-Cros: here, there are no cars and no bicycles, only shady paths, remarkable flora and fauna, and unspoiled beaches. Depending on the season, you will have between 6:40 am (in summer) and 7:15 am (off-season) to explore the island at your own pace.
Go hiking to discover the old forts, relax on Plage du Sud, or gear up with fins, a mask, and a snorkel to follow the underwater trail from Plage de la Palud. This marked trail, dotted with underwater signposts, will reveal a fascinating underwater world to you: Posidonia seagrass beds, colourful fish, and sometimes even the park's iconic groupers.
This tour is for anyone looking to combine adventure, relaxation, and discovery. Whether you’re travelling alone, as a couple, with your family, or with friends, enjoy an immersive and responsible experience in the heart of one of the Mediterranean’s best-preserved ecosystems.
