4.French Riviera Villefranche Bay Snorkeling Tour from Nice

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 211 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $60

Snorkel Villefranche Bay from Nice, with a scenic boat ride, fitted gear, clear Mediterranean water, and up to an hour to swim.

“It was so refreshing to get in the water. The jellyfish were a new type I hadn't seen before. The guides should probably warn their guests about them. 3 people were stung. We had a great time. I would suggest they offer a drink for the guests once they get out of the water be it alcoholic or not. That would have made it excellent.”
