4 hours.
Moderate fitness — able to board a small boat, swim 15–30 minutes and walk uneven island paths.
Yes—masks, snorkels, and life jackets are included for the snorkeling segment; guides brief you on fit and safety.
No—there is no restroom on the boat; plan accordingly before departure and use facilities onshore in Nice or on Sainte-Marguerite during the stop.
Children under 5 are not permitted; the tour also has weight and swim-safety restrictions—check age and weight limits when booking.
The outbound ride is about 15 minutes and the return roughly 30 minutes according to the operator’s schedule.
Sainte-Marguerite’s Fort Royal dates to the 17th century and is tied to the island’s role as a military site and prison, famously linked in lore to the Man in the Iron Mask.
The area includes protected Posidonia seagrass beds; visitors are asked not to touch or stand on seagrass, and to use reef-safe products to minimize impact.
