Details
Visit the Mediterranean coastline on board our boat trip in the Calanques of Marseille. Starting from the Quai d'Honneur in Marseille's Vieux Port, you will embark on our eco-friendly boat towards the Calanques National Park. During the whole cruise, our captain will share with you all his knowledge about the iconic places of Marseille and the history of the city! We will also explain why it is necessary to preserve this fragile natural heritage. Once we reached the small passage between Maïre Island and the Croisette Cap, we will be in the Calanques National Park. The word "calanques" describes a valley carved by a river before reaching the sea. This phenomenon makes the Mediterranean coastline unique.
You will visit the Calanques of Marseille. The ship might pass by Sormiou and/or the Rioul archipelago, depending on the weather. We will spend more or less time in each calanque, depending on the weather and your wishes. You will also have the possibility to swim for about half an hour in the crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea in one of the calanques. On the way back to the starting point, you will again have the opportunity to admire a unique view of the coastline and its magnificent rock formations.

Great trip! Unfortunately the sea was choppy so we ended going to the Iles du Frioul archipelago but was still stunning! Our captain Hugo was incredibly accommodating and spoke good English too! Swam in the incredibly clear water there! Will 100% book again and hopefully next time we will be able to see Les Calanques !

Everything was perfect: the weather, a tour to admire the sights from the sea,
The comfort and cleanliness of the boat.
The organization (various drinks and snacks, and the possibility of borrowing diving equipment and towels if necessary...)
The kindness and attentive presence of our captain, Léa, who took us to places where we could enjoy the clear water to dive and discover the underwater life.
I highly recommend this experience.

First of all, we had a wonderful Captain Delia, who led us safely through the big waves, which were that day. The whole journey to the beautiful coves and back to the marina took place in a great atmosphere. The views were wonderful, the wine was pink ;) and everyone was in a good mood. We recommend the trip and Delia as a captain!
