Toulon-Hyeres Airport is the nearest air gateway, while Marseille Provence usually provides the broadest practical alternative for international connections. Toulon and Hyeres also sit on the French rail and motorway network, making a train-plus-local-transfer plan realistic. Most dive travelers should sleep on the mainland in Hyeres, Giens, La Londe-les-Maures, or Toulon, then join the operator's own boat. Porquerolles ferries depart year-round from Tour Fondue with a short crossing; Port-Cros has year-round service from Port Saint-Pierre in Hyeres but a reduced off-season timetable. Seasonal boats also run from Toulon, Saint-Mandrier, La Londe, Bormes, and Le Lavandou. Check the exact pier, parking plan, baggage rules, and return sailing before travel.
A rental car is useful for switching among Toulon, Hyeres, Giens, La Londe, Tour Fondue, and different marinas, but summer parking can be difficult and road queues are common near ferry terminals. Trains connect the regional cities, and local buses serve the airport, Hyeres, Toulon, Giens, and some coastal corridors, with frequency varying by season.
