Details
Embark on our eco-friendly boat with our boat trip in the Calanques of Marseille! Departing from the Quai d'Honneur, we will take you directly to the middle of 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 coastline unique. We will make a first stop for a swim, during which you will be able to enjoy the crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea. We will have a 1.5-hour break to have an apéritif and lunch in the exceptional and wild setting of the calanques. Afterwards, the captain adapts the order and duration of the stops to the weather conditions.
We will head for the Riou Archipelago, notably known for its biodiversity, with more than 200 species of birds. Then, we will visit in turn the calanques of Sormiou, Morigou and Sugiton. You will also have the opportunity to swim or snorkel for about half an hour in one of the calanques of your choice. On the way back to the Quai d'Honneur, you will again have the opportunity to admire a unique view of the coastline and its magnificent rock formations.

The concept of enjoying this unique landscape and nature in a small group, swimming in the crystal-clear, blue water, and savoring exceptional cuisine is well thought out and leaves little to be desired. Our captain, Hugo, is very friendly, had many interesting stories to tell, and is highly professional. We were back at the harbor exactly on time.

A lovely and relaxed tour with the captain, who offered homemade iced tea. The group was small and the food was delicious. The swimming spots were naturally well-visited. The water was cool due to the wind.
