Loveliest trip ever
Sarie_V, Dec 2024
We had the best time ever! I loved the boat trip and my first time snorkeling was amazing. My mom also loved it. Truly one of the best memories for me 🙏🏻 I do really want to give a tip if you are considering:
- if you have a history of traveling sickness make sure you take your meds or bring some seasickness pills. Because IF you get sick and don’t want to swim you have to sit on the boat and that is the worst you can do. Just come prepared.
- make sure, maybe this is obvious, that you are an adequate swimmer. That you have swum in the sea ocean or any natural body of water before. Not just a pool.
Just saying this because there was a girl on board who either got nausea from the waves, or really panicky in the water I think. She sat on the boat most of the time (when a boat anchors in the waves your seasickness will get worse) and then at the end took a 5 min swim with a swimming noodle. Just was sad to see. Things to consider! My mom and me come from an island so we had the best time EVER. Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip, lots of fun. The hosts were informative and explained everything well. We had lots of time in the sea and the snorkeling was excellent, saw lots of different kinds of fish, the bay we went to was beautiful. Would definitely go again.
Simple but enjoyable trip

We went snorkling as a couple in August. One of us had never snorkled before and I had some experience. We both thoroughly enjoyed the snorkling, the scenery, the swimming and the overall experience. The team at Poseidon Diving Centre were accommodating, welcoming and very knowledgeable. The equipment used fitted well. You are given the option to go snorkling, just swim or relax on the boat. A very simple trip which we both loved. Thank you to the snorkling team.
Very Difficult to Contact
Isabelle_N, Dec 2024
We were unable to make it to snorkelling due to the massive delays with trains from Nice due to protests/attacks on train lines. I tried to phone and message early in the morning to ask if we could move it to a different day. I didn’t get an answer from phone, or by messaging. We would have really loved to move it to a different day. Very disappointed that we couldn’t make contact at all.
FUN TIME SNORKELING

We had an amazing time snorkeling in Nice! It was easy to find the meeting point, they fit you for the fins and mask that best fit you so that everyone has their size on the boat. Know that there is not a ton of seating on the boat, most people sit at the front and dangle their legs, and there is also a bench. The boat ride was about 20 minutes to Villefranche, we received a few instructions before we began snorkeling! We saw a lot of fish and the water is incredibly clear. My family really enjoyed it, we are always content to just swim and hang out in the water. We highly recommend. The folks running the tour were also wonderful to chat with and super kind!
