Guided kayak and paddleboard tour in Cap Ferrat
Guided kayaking or paddleboarding, 1 hour, 2 hours or half-day. From age 10, accessible to all.
The Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula is a treasure trove of unspoiled spots that few know about: secret coves, sea caves, limestone cliffs, and turquoise waters. Our certified instructor will take you kayaking or paddleboarding, at your own pace, and show you what you can't see from land. Three options are available to suit your time: a 1-hour introductory trip suitable for all levels, a 2-hour excursion exploring further afield, or a half-day tour to circumnavigate the entire peninsula with stops for swimming and exploring a sea cave.
This is the perfect activity for visitors staying in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche, Èze, or Nice who want to discover Cap Ferrat from an authentic perspective. Accessible to beginners and experienced paddlers alike: no prior kayaking or paddleboarding experience is necessary.
Who is this for?
From age 10 and up, beginners and experienced alike
Families, couples, friends
Whether you prefer sports or contemplation (the pace adapts)
Tourists staying in hotels in Beaulieu, Villefranche, Èze or Monaco
What you will see: the hidden coves of Cap Ferrat
Starting from Cros deï Pin, we follow the northern coast of the peninsula: Plage de la Fosse, Anse des Fossés, then towards Saint-Hospice with its headland and semaphore station. Shallow waters and rocky seabeds are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Depending on the time available and conditions, we can venture as far as the nearby sea caves (real caves accessible only from the water, a spectacular mineral landscape) or complete a full circuit of the peninsula, returning via Plage Passable.
During stops, swimming in waters 30 meters deep, snorkeling possible (mask and snorkel to bring), sometimes encounter with fish from the cliffs (salema, sargo, sometimes groupers).
An eco-friendly activity
Kayaking and paddleboarding are the most respectful ways to explore the coastline: no motors, no pollution, no noise that disturbs wildlife. We emphasize good practices: do not land in prohibited areas, leave no trace, and do not touch the seabed.
Cap Ferrat is partially classified as a Natura 2000 site for the preservation of marine flora and fauna. Our guide will explain the sensitive areas and protected species you might encounter.
