5.00The boat is clean. The guide is helpful who introduced the tourist spots during the boat trip. We've got 30 mins to dive into the sea for swimming or photo-taking. If you cannot swim but would like to swim, be reminded to ask the guide for any floating support objects before departure.
Family friendly

5.00A lovely way to see the French Riviera for the whole family, kids and grandparents included! The swim was a perfect refreshing dip. The staff was helpful and well informed.
A nice 90 minutes on the water.

4.00We enjoyed this trip, as it got us out of the harbour and on the water, on a lovely day. The trip is described well. The boat was also comfortable, open air and pleasant. The best part was jumping into the water and swimming near the cave. The timing was just about perfect too. Just enough time. The driver/guide pointed out the sights, nothing too deep, somewhat perfunctory. But adequate. Recommended.
Fantastic trip on the water

5.00Absolutely brilliant trip, guide was very knowledgeable and boat was very well maintained. We did the shorter trip with swimming and it was the perfect way to break up the day and get out on the water. 100% recommend.
Boat trip a must!

4.00After my boat ride with another company at another location got canceled, I booked this one. Upon arrival, I learned that this one was also canceled due to not having enough customers on board. This, along with other factors, led me to cry out of frustration! Fortunately, Carla offered me a short ride — so I could at least say I’d sailed the Mediterranean Sea! She was a sweetheart!
TOP! I recommend ++++

5.00Went with my close friends and s/o for the first time in Nice and it was an amazing and smooth trip! The captain was very friendly, informative, helpful, and funny. If you want a swimming life vest make sure to ask while checking in before you get on because there are none on the boat, only rescue ones. The views were breathtaking as the water felt and the ride was so fun! I would definitely do it again :)
Left high and dry and frustrated

1.00Booked this trip online for my wife and myself as sounded amazing. Received confirmation from Tripadvisor of two bookings for 2 people! So charged twice! I cancelled one of these and retained the other. When we arrived at the meeting place for the tour there was no one there. We waited 20 minutes and then left. I contacted the tour operator and was told our booking was cancelled so they didn’t wait for us. I explained the double booking and that we had valid tickets for the tour. They said contact Tripadvisor for a refund. Tried finding contact details for them but impossible to find. So have paid for a trip we didn’t go on and not sure how to get a refund as can’t contact Tripadvisor.
