Private Boat Tour from Nice: Monaco, Cannes, Eze or MentonA private boat tour departing from Nice that visits Monaco, Cannes, Eze, Menton or Cap Ferrat depending on which option you choose, with a skipper who adjusts the route and stops to match what you want that day. Everything is included: fuel, wine, snorkeling equipment, paddleboard, towels and restroom access. You decide when to swim, snorkel or simply anchor and relax on board.Is it for me?Pick the shorter Cap Ferrat or Eze route if you're fitting this around other plans, or go longer toward Menton or the Cannes islands if you want the full day to anchor and swim without rushing back.
Private Boat Tour Nice: Villefranche, Cap Ferrat & BeaulieuA private boat tour along the French Riviera from Nice takes you past Villefranche sur Mer, St Jean Cap Ferrat and Beaulieu sur Mer, with a professional guide speaking English, Italian, French or German. The tour includes snorkeling equipment, bottled water and wine; you choose between a 2-hour or 4-hour departure. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the boat carries safety jackets and parasols.Is it for me?Choose the 4-hour tour if you want time to actually swim and explore the underwater view, rather than just see the coast from the boat. The 2-hour option works if you're short on time but still want the guide's knowledge and a taste of the water.
Snorkeling from Nice to Monaco: Four Mediterranean covesA guided boat tour departing Nice that visits Monaco's two ports, the Mala caves near Eze, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat's underwater trail and La Rade de Villefranche over three hours, with snorkeling equipment, life jacket and a live guide in English or French included. Swimming is unsupervised; only swimmers are permitted in the water. The itinerary and swim stops may shift depending on weather conditions.Is it for me?This is a shared boat tour with a guide steering and you swimming at each stop, so it suits swimmers who want the route and the stops arranged but want to do the snorkeling themselves. If you can't swim or prefer to watch rather than enter the water, this tour is not the right fit—the water time is the whole point, and supervision is not provided.
E-Bike Tour Nice: Three Corniche Roads & Medieval VillagesA 6-hour e-bike tour from Nice that follows the Low, Medium and Grande Corniche cliff roads along the French Riviera, visiting the medieval villages of Eze and La Turbie with a professional guide, lunch included, and around 10 panoramic viewpoints. The tour covers 32 to 40 km with 800 meters of elevation gain and is built for riders comfortable on e-bikes; a professional guide leads the group in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or another language.Is it for me?Book this tour if you ride regularly and want to tackle the Riviera's steepest coastal roads with a guide who knows every viewpoint and can adjust the pace — the e-bike handles the 800 meters of climbing, but the day demands strong fitness and comfort on a bike. Skip it if you are new to cycling or prefer a gentler pace; the 32 to 40 km and sustained climbs are not a warm-up.
Nice: Verdon Gorge Day Trip & Route Napoléon with Pedal BoatYou travel in a glass-roofed vehicle through Grasse's medieval streets, follow the historic Route Napoléon through alpine landscapes, pause at Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, drive nearly two hours through the Verdon Gorge with planned viewpoint stops, and paddle a pedal boat into the gorge's heart at Lake Sainte-Croix. Small groups of up to seven keep the pace unhurried, and the experience runs from April through October.Is it for me?Choose this if you want the Verdon Gorge's main sights and the Route Napoléon in one day without arranging transport, timing stops, or managing a group—the small size and glass-roofed vehicle mean you see everything from your seat and from planned viewpoints, with the pedal boat handling the immersion that a car cannot.
Private Boat Tour Nice to Monaco: 3-Hour French Riviera CruiseA 3-hour private boat tour departing from Eze-sur-Mer along the French Riviera coastline, aboard the traditional vessel SARDiiNE.

The guide speaks English and French. Morning departures include breakfast; afternoon and sunset options come with different refreshments.Is it for me?The boat holds a small group and moves at a relaxed pace with a long swimming stop built in, so this suits anyone who wants to drift along the coast without a fixed schedule or a crowded deck. The 3-hour duration and the single anchorage mean you're not rushing between stops — you're anchored, swimming, and eating in one place, which is what makes the cove time feel unhurried.
