Nice Snorkeling Tours: Our Top 4

1.Nice: Snorkeling Speedboat Tour in Villefranche Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 638 reviews · 1h 30m · from $70Our pick

From Chango Diving in Nice, you’ll ride 10 to 15 minutes by speedboat to Villefranche Bay, then spend about an hour swimming and snorkeling with a certified instructor. Chris, Benoit, Ben, or Adrian may lead, and gear, wetsuits, and flotation aids are included.

“The guide was nice, funny and helpful. We didn’t see that many fish but we did see some so was happy but I imagine it was because it was quite busy in the area we went to. They gave us the snorkels and flippers. The water was very salty so you can just float on top of the water whilst looking for fish or swim if you’d want to. Where we went to there was a bit of shore where you could go and sit and chill for a bit before getting back in! This was my first time snorkelling and I would definitely do it again!”

Join Le Poseidon in Nice for a two-hour wooden-boat cruise to Villefranche Bay near Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

“My family truly enjoyed the trip, the boat crew looked after us really well. They were very professional, made sure a swimming kit was the correct size for me and the kids, They stopped the boat when we spotted the dolphins. They spoke English and Spanish and I think it’s a really good sign of customer service.”
