Iles d'Or Evasion is a Hyères-based boat operator offering coastal and wildlife-focused excursions from the port of Tour Fondue. The company provides a mix of guided short tours and private full-day charters designed to showcase the natural and historical highlights of the Hyères Bay and surrounding islands.

Available offerings include two 2.5-hour scenic options — La matinale and La Pause du midi — a full-day privatisation (9 AM to 5 PM) for private groups, and a specialist naturalist sortie focused on marine wildlife observation.
The marine wildlife trips are guided by Captain Julien, who holds certification in High Quality Whale Watching®.
