At Port du Béal in Cannes, Nature Essentielle offers supervised snorkelling excursions to discover underwater life around the îles de Lérins. The centre favours a nature-focused approach: observing, identifying and understanding Mediterranean wildlife rather than simply swimming with a mask and snorkel.
How does snorkelling around Lérins work?
The package takes place over half a day, supervised by a qualified instructor. The destination and observation area are chosen according to the weather, sea conditions and visibility around the archipelago.
Why choose Nature Essentielle in Cannes?
The operator combines scuba diving, snorkelling and marine awareness activities. This approach is particularly suited to visitors who want a more meaningful excursion around Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, with explanations of the species observed and the balance of the Mediterranean coastal environment.
Can you spend more time on the islands?
Nature Essentielle also offers longer trips around both îles de Lérins, combining exploration on land with activities in the water. This is an interesting way to turn snorkelling into a full day discovering the archipelago rather than a standalone water activity.
What to know before visiting
The precise content of the trip depends on conditions on the day. It is therefore better to choose this experience for its guided, nature-focused approach rather than insisting on a particular entry point into the water chosen in advance.
The added attraction
The real difference lies in interpreting the marine environment: the goal is not only to see underwater, but to better understand what you observe around the îles de Lérins.
