Great experience in a very beautiful place. The ferry was quite full so make sure to arrive early to get seats! Not recommended for people with mobility issues as the island requires quite a bit of walking to explore.

Ruth_C

Great trip, fort is cool with great history stories. Lovely quiet walks Criss cross the island. Nice little spot for some refreshments overlooking the bay.

We just spend the day in the water. Some of the clearest end nicest swims for a long time. And the beach had plenty of shade to retreat to during the hottest hours middag.

The Ferry arrived on time, was clean & the staff was delightful. There were bathroom facilities as soon as you leave the port. There were fresh baked good & snacks along with a wide assortment of alcoholic & non alcoholic beverages. The price was affordable. The entire experience (my 3rd time) was awesome. The island is an amazing day drip that you should do at least 1 time in your life.

no information was given as to what is going to happen and what to expect. nothing much is in the Ile. really a waist of time even the people that serve you a coffer in the Ile are so angry . the experience is just not for a couple its good for young kids just not a luxury and not for a couple.

Cruise was cancelled without any reason. When we went to get refund (5th July,2018, around 5-30pm at QUAI LUNEL, Nice) the lady at the counter was so rude, unprofessional and condescending. We were not there for a free trip. The cruise was cancelled by you WITHOUT ANY REASON CITED TO US!! The least we could expect was courteous behavior. I have no words to describe how sour a taste, this whole experience left me with.

<p>niceplace to hike, out in the busy city , relax on the sea breeze :-</p>

<p>The only disappointing part is that 6 hours is not enough to spend in Monaco. There's plenty to do and see there. The boat trip itself is also great, going pretty close to the marvelous coastline.</p>

Siamo partiti col traghetto dal porto di Cannes, parte ogni ora. Le isole sono verdi molto belle si girano facilmente ma i sentieri soprattutto quelli in torno alla fortezza non sono segnalati benissimo. Noi abbiamo imboccato un sentiero che faceva il giro delle mura ma siamo dovuti tornare indietro perché dopo un km circa ci siamo trovati davanti ad una rampa di scale e col passeggino era un po' difficile. Per il resto bella pulita belle calette tranquille dove rilassarsi. Noi siamo andati di lunedì e il museo purtroppo era chiuso, abbiamo fatto un giro dentro le mura, molto interessante l'iniziativa di fare ristrutturare tutto dai ragazzi ( supervisionati naturalmente). Ci torneremo per vedere il museo.
