Kayaking · CANNES

Your first kayak outing to the Lérins Islands

An island opposite Cannes, a kayak and the freedom to explore at your own pace. A first outing starts with a few simple choices, made with the team at the base.

Start at Pointe Croisette

The base is at Pointe Croisette, Palm Beach, in Cannes. Make time for the briefing: it covers equipment, useful paddling movements and the recommended route. Ask about anything you are unsure of.

Choose a single or double kayak. In a double, aim for a shared rhythm rather than speed. An easy start gives you time to settle in and enjoy the view.

Choose an outing that suits you

Sainte-Marguerite is around 15 minutes away, depending on your paddling pace. Plan your stops with our team and enjoy your outing.

A four-hour half-day suits a first discovery. A full day offers more time for a walk, picnic or several breaks. You do not need to circle both islands to have a memorable outing.

Paddle independently after the briefing

You can rent without a guide. Contact the base if you would prefer a guided outing. Everyone must be able to swim and follow the instructions given before departure.

The kayak, paddles, buoyancy aid and waterproof barrel are included. Bring water, sun protection, a hat and a change of clothes. Keep fragile belongings protected and handle them when stopped.
