Program
Secretrip invites you to experience a unique adventure with our "Swim Escape" activity. Dive into an unforgettable experience and discover the idyllic islands of the Port Cros National Park and their magnificent seabed. Are you passionate about the fauna and flora under the sea, or simply curious about the Var coastline? Dare to try the "Nage Évasion" adventure!

1

Heading for Porquerolles and the Grand Ribaud

The excursion begins at the picturesque port of Le Gapeau, where you will board our comfortable and well-equipped boat. Make the most of the trip to the islands to admire the coastal scenery and feel the sea breeze, while looking forward to the underwater exploration that awaits you.

2

Snorkeling
in clear waters

Once you arrive at your destination, the adventure continues underwater. We'll provide you with all the equipment you need for snorkelling: fins, mask and snorkel. A briefing on the equipment will be given before you jump into the water. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and explore the colourful fish, posidonia meadows and underwater caves. You'll be amazed by the diversity and beauty of the seabed.

A supervised activity

Our qualified guides, who are passionate about the marine environment, supervise this activity to ensure your safety and comfort. Thanks to their expertise, the activity will be adapted to each participant's level of aquatic comfort. Personalised advice will ensure that you enjoy this adventure to the full.

Raising environmental awareness

One of the aims of this outing is to raise participants' awareness of the importance of preserving the marine environment. The information you will be given about the fauna and flora under the sea will help you to understand the importance of marine ecosystems and the threats they face.

Port-Cros and Porquerolles National Parks,
an exceptional natural site

Away from the beaten track, we'll show you splendid spots where you'll feel like you're alone at the end of the world. Between dream beaches, exceptional marine wildlife and fascinating historical heritage, visiting Porquerolles and the islands of Hyères by boat is the promise of an excursion full of discovery and wonder.

Le Grand Ribaud,
coves you'll never forget...

Smaller than its neighbour but just as captivating, Île du Grand Ribaud is a genuine marine nature reserve. Its seabed is teeming with life, multicoloured fish and coral, a delight for diving enthusiasts. Its rugged coastline and hidden coves give you the impression of being the first to discover it.

Fauna & Flora
underwater

The Îles d'Hyères,
real seabeds

Located just a stone's throw from Hyères, the islands of Porquerolles and Grand Ribaud offer a complete change of scenery. You'll be immersed in an astonishing ballet of colours, scents and sensations underwater.

The Port Cros National Park, created in 1963, has many surprises in store for you.

Flora
Port-Cros National Park

In terms of flora, the islands of Hyères are home to a number of emblematic underwater species, including Posidonia meadows, padina, acetabularia, etc. The marine fauna is not to be outdone, with groupers, peacock wrasse, castagnole, sars, sea bream and sea urchins to be admired ....

Abbiamo fatto una bellissima escursione a Porquerolles con Caro, che sin dai primi contatti ha fatto il massimo per soddisfare le nostre esigenze. Ci siamo trovati molto bene, è stato come passare una mattinata tra amici e abbiamo gustato ogni momento! Torneremmo sicuramente per continuare ad esplorare queste bellissime isole.

Ein Tag voller schöner Momente! Sébastien hat uns heute einen wunderbaren Tag bereitet. Wir waren mit 7 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern auf dem Boot unterwegs. Entlang der Küste von Hyéres haben wir geschnorchelt und das Meer genossen. Sébastien hat sich großartig um uns gekümmert. Wir wünschen Ihm weiterhin viel Erfolg und alles Gute!

Hi Sébastien, Thank you so much for this truly unforgettable day. We all had an amazing time and enjoyed every single moment. You showed us some absolutely beautiful places that we would never have discovered on our own. The crystal-clear water, the peaceful little coves and the time we spent together at sea made this a very special experience for our whole family. You were a wonderful host, very friendly, relaxed and professional. It was a real pleasure meeting you. Thank you as well for taking such good care of us and for welcoming our dog on board – that meant a lot to us. We will always remember this fantastic day and can highly recommend you to anyone visiting Giens. We wish you all the very best and hope to see you again one day! Best regards, Manfred, Nicole and the whole family ☀️🚤🌊
