Make your own way to the ferry port in Cannes about 10 minutes before your selected departure time. Hop aboard for the short 15-minute ferry ride to Sainte-Marguerite island, admiring views across the Lerins archipelago and the Golfe de la Napoule along the way. On arrival at the island, you are free to explore independently for as long as you like—just make sure to check the seasonal ferry departure times to ensure you don’t miss your return ferry. While on the island, perhaps explore one of the many marked hiking trails, go bird-watching at Batéguier lake, or take a tour of the Fort Royal (own expense), where the “Man in the Iron Mask” is believed to have been imprisoned. Once you’ve finished exploring the island, make your way back to the port and use your return tickets to catch the next available ferry back to the mainland.
