Cannes: What to do when you get there ?

Cannes is a city located on the French Riviera. It is a commune of France situated in the Alpes-Maritimes department, in a preserved area between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.

The city is well known for its association with the rich and famous, its luxurious hotels and restaurants, and for hosting the annual Cannes Film Festival. But what you might not know, is that it is also a hot-spot for extreme sports, especially water sports!

Thanks to the wind that blows all year round (whether it is the Mistral or typical southern/eastern winds) and the pleasant climate you will enjoy perfect conditions for open air activities and extreme water sports, such as kitesurfing, jet-skiing, flyboarding, wakeboarding and many other outdoor activities.

From Cannes, you’re guaranteed exceptional panoramas, notably in the west on Iles de Lérins and in the east on the summits of Mercantour. You can go hiking or mountain biking in the region which has a lot of hilly landscapes to explore.

Made our day trip to Cannes so worth it! The kayaking was super fun and I liked how we had the freedom to go where we wanted. The island was also insanely beautiful and had lots of cool spots to explore. As Californians that are used to great views and beach spots we were still blown away by the beauty of the island and beaches around it! Highly recommend

Lots of fun, everyone who wondered how it feels - to ski on the water should definitely apply. I think those with already advanced skills should go for it too.

Sinceramente pensavo sarebbe stato più difficile e faticoso invece davvero fattibile. Ti godi il paesaggio da un'altro punto di vista. Puoi fermarti nelle spiaggette che desideri per una pausa. Davvero sicuro e vi è tutto il tempo per fare il giro dell'isola tranquillamente. Lo rifarei mille volte

The kayak experience was really good, I'm really glad I did it! The activity is not guided, it's a kayak rental for the day and from there you can go to the Islands after being briefed
