Fréjus

Les calanques de l'Estérel by Sea You Sun

Embark on sea excursions from Fréjus to discover the coves of Estérel.
Discover the Var coast from a new angle, by enjoying an unforgettable sea excursion!

Discover the coves of the Esterel from Fréjus, aboard an intimate and comfortable boat accommodating up to 12 passengers. You will explore every corner of this exceptional coastline, while being guided by the captivating commentary of the captain.

As soon as you leave the port, head for the Esterel to admire the famous islands of Lion de Terre and Lion de Mer, located near Boulouris and Valescure. Sail along the calm waters and discover the Île des Vieilles, a fascinating rocky islet. The boat will also sail in the Bay of Agay, a place so enchanting that, according to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, even the dust would have a pleasant smell there. Continue towards the jewels of the region: Cap Dramont, Île d'Or, and the calanques of Anthéor. Île d'Or also inspired Hergé for his famous album L'Île Noire, from the adventures of Tintin. In the background, you will see the majestic peaks of the Esterel, such as Cap Roux and Pic de l'Ours.

Your boat, capable of getting as close as possible to the coast, will take you to places inaccessible to larger boats. At low speed, enjoy the calm to admire the rock formations, caves and secret coves sculpted by erosion. These places, often difficult to access, reveal all the preserved splendor of the coastline.

Jacques, your passionate captain, will share with you the fascinating history of the region, as well as anecdotes about the fauna, flora and geology of these landscapes of volcanic origin. Curious to know more? Don't hesitate to ask him your questions!

During this getaway, a stop will be planned to enjoy the sun and a well-deserved refreshment. You will have the opportunity to relax in one of the wild coves of the Esterel and, if you are lucky, observe the underwater life that populates these crystal clear waters.

And do you know why the Esterel massif has this characteristic red hue? It is the presence of rhyolite, a volcanic rock from lava flows, which gives it this unique color.

Don't wait any longer to embark in Fréjus or Saint-Raphaël and let yourself be seduced by the mysteries of the Estérel coves, a breathtaking natural setting. Sheltered from the crowds and the daily hustle and bustle, these landscapes will reveal a wild and rare beauty to you.
