webbed excursions.


Explanation:
Means "excursion with flippers on". As for "randonnée", since in this case it's in the water "trek /walking,/hiking/journey" are inappropriate. It's a travel brochure so it might as well say "adventure", but paying respect to "randonnée", the English word "excursion" seems most fit.

Example sentence(s):
  • How about a webbed excusrsion around the reef?
