Details
Join us on a captivating round trip ferry to Porquerolles Island aboard our comfortable and spacious boat, where you can immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of the island. Our navigation begins after we meet either at the port of Cavalaire or at the port of La Croix-Valmer, depending on the option booked, before heading southward towards Porquerolles. Upon arrival, free time and fun await you to explore this idyllic paradise according to your own preferences, creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
Porquerolles, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Golden Islands," showcases a remarkable array of landscapes. As you step ashore, you may choose to indulge in a refreshing swim at the renowned Notre Dame beach, which earned the prestigious title of "Europe's most beautiful beach" in 2015. Basking in the radiant sun, particularly during summer, it is truly an unparalleled experience. Alternatively, you can also embark on a scenic hike to discover the island's natural wonders. At the end, you will discover a panoramic view of the island from above. For those seeking a more peaceful time, you have the option to walk leisurely within the colourful streets of the village. Lastly, even history enthusiasts will find something to their liking, as many ancient forts and monuments can be seen. For example, you will find the awe-inspiring Grand Langoustier Fort, Alycastre Fort, Sainte Agathe Fort, or Repentance Fort.
Before departing, make sure not to miss the opportunity to visit the Cap d'Arme lighthouse perched on the cliff's edge, along with the Windmill of Happiness, an ancient windmill from the 18th century that has undergone recent restoration. When the allocated time draws to a close, we will reconvene at the boat, concluding our day, where everything began.

The departure from La Croix Valmer was cancelled, with an alternative from Le Lavandou. The difference was refunded without any problems. Communication was pleasant, and the crossing was enjoyable with plenty of explanations from the captain. Not a cheap trip, but highly recommended, especially for the island.

A nice crossing to Porquerolles.
Due to the weather, the boat could not depart from La Croix-Valmer. This was communicated properly via email, and an alternative departure point (Le Lavandou) was suggested. This was not a problem for us.
