About this tour
A 2-hour snorkelling trip departing from Saint-Raphaël that takes you along Cap Dramont's dramatic rust-coloured rock faces before heading to Île d'Or and its distinctive medieval tower. You'll spend time underwater exploring the rocky seabed and marine life in calm, sheltered waters. A sports educator guides the session, and all gear is supplied. The route is accessible by train or bus, making it straightforward to reach from town.

What to expect
You'll board a small vessel and cruise past Cap Dramont, where the landscape shifts from golden sand to steep crimson cliffs. The water here is clear and shallow enough for confident snorkelling. Once at Île d'Or, you'll enter the water in designated zones and spend roughly an hour exploring the rocky underwater terrain. Visibility is typically good, and you'll spot small fish and rock formations. The educator stays close by and keeps the group together. Surface intervals are built in for rest and chat. The boat ride itself is scenic and relaxed—no speed or thrills involved.
Good to know
Bring a towel and water. The nearest train station is Agay; buses also serve the area. You'll need reasonable comfort in water, though no swimming ability is required. Spinal issues, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns mean this isn't suitable. Wetsuits keep you warm and provide flotation.
