What to expect
On the water you see the sandstone channel and then continue to Cape Drastis. Wind and swell decide whether a boat runs; ask the operator on the day. Bring water and sun protection; there is no shade at sea.
Safety
Follow the operator’s briefing on lifejackets and the boat-handling lesson. Do not swim close to cliffs because boat captains warn of rockfall. See safety and Canal d’Amour swimming notes.
