Treat your group to a snorkeling trip starting from Almanarre Beach and explore the underwater world.
Equipped with a mask, snorkel, and fins, set out with your group to explore an exceptional heritage site steeped in history. Guided by Camille, a passionate instructor, you’ll explore in complete safety the ancient ruins of Olbia, an ancient Greek city founded over 2,300 years ago and now partially submerged. At a depth of less than 5 meters, the ancient Roman trading post unfolds before you, and a little further on, you’ll see the wreck of the Tartane. As you head back toward the shore, the paleo-tombolo is home to a rich biodiversity.
Throughout this guided underwater tour, you’ll observe Posidonia seagrass beds, Mediterranean fish, and traces left by the coast’s earliest inhabitants. Thanks to your guide’s explanations, this activity becomes a true immersion in the history and biodiversity of our region.

Camille, a state-certified guide, introduces each group to the rich natural and archaeological heritage of the Hyères coastline. Through an educational and respectful approach, she invites participants to observe—without disturbing—the Posidonia seagrass beds, marine species, and ancient ruins. This activity promotes a gentle exploration of the Mediterranean and helps participants better understand the fragility of marine ecosystems and the need to preserve them.
