Description
Set off for a dream day to the most famous of the Îles d'Or: Porquerolles. From the harbor of Bormes-les-Mimosas – La Favière, board our latest-generation hybrid boat, which combines modern comfort and respect for the environment thanks to smoother and quieter navigation.
During the guided crossing, which lasts between 1 hour 10 minutes (in peak season) and 1 hour 45 minutes (in low season via Port-Cros), our passionate crew will reveal the history of the Var coast, the secrets of the Hyères Islands archipelago, and the wonders of the National Park. Live commentary is provided in French, and an audio guide is available on your smartphone in English, German, Dutch, and Italian. Along the way, admire the coves, beaches, hilltop forts, and breathtaking panoramas.
Upon arrival in Porquerolles, you will have 5 hours and 25 minutes to 6 hours and 30 minutes of free time, depending on the season, to discover the island at your own pace. A true Mediterranean gem, Porquerolles offers exceptional landscapes with white sand beaches, turquoise waters, pine forests, vineyards, and wild cliffs.
Create your ideal itinerary:
- Swimming on the paradisiacal beaches of Notre-Dame (voted the most beautiful beach in Europe), Argent, or La Courtade
- Bike ride to explore the more remote trails and coves (rentals available on site)
- Hike on the well-organized trails through the forests and hills
