Mandelieu: Ste Marguerite Island & Corniche d'Or ferry

Discover the French Riviera on a day trip from Mandelieu-La Napoule. Explore Sainte-Marguerite Island, then cruise along the Corniche d’Or, admiring the Esterel Massif's red cliffs by ferry.
Begin your adventure in Mandelieu-La Napoule with a ferry boat transfer towards Ste Marguerite Island, the largest island in the Lérins archipelago.

During the crossing, enjoy beautiful views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape. Feel the sea breeze, admire the changing shades of blue, and watch the island gradually emerge on the horizon.

Enjoy free time to explore Sainte-Marguerite Island at your own pace. Follow the shaded paths through the pine and eucalyptus forests, breathe in the distinctive Mediterranean scents, and admire the beautiful views across the surrounding waters.

History enthusiasts can also explore the island’s heritage by visiting Fort Royal, a historic fortress famous for its association with the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask (admission costs extra). The site offers an insight into the island’s fascinating past, while its museum explores local history and maritime archaeology. Access and admission depend on opening arrangements.

After this relaxing island escape, return to the sea for the next highlight of your excursion: a narrated cruise along the spectacular Esterel coastline.

Continue your adventure with a 1-hour-and-45-minute narrated cruise towards the legendary Corniche d’Or, following the magnificent coastline of the Esterel Massif.

One of the most striking landscapes on the French Riviera, the Esterel is famous for its red volcanic rock formations, rugged cliffs, secluded coves, and extraordinary contrasts of color. From the boat, admire the spectacular meeting of reddish cliffs, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and turquoise waters.

As the cruise follows the coastline, enjoy a succession of breathtaking panoramas. Steep headlands rise above the sea, hidden inlets reveal sheltered waters, and dramatic rock formations create a striking natural backdrop. Every stretch of the journey offers a new perspective on this exceptional coastal environment.

The Corniche d’Or, also known as the Golden Corniche, is celebrated for its warm red and golden rock tones, which become particularly beautiful in the Mediterranean sunlight. Discover this iconic landscape from the water and appreciate viewpoints that are difficult to experience from the road.

Throughout the cruise, onboard commentary introduces you to the region’s natural features, geological formations, and coastal heritage. Learn more about the distinctive character of the Esterel Massif while enjoying the scenery unfolding around you.
