Details
Discover our sea kayak tour around the islands to Cap Croisette and Calanques National Park! For 3 to 4 hours, you will explore the islands off the coast of Marseille. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the rock formations of the island of Maïre, the impressive cliffs of the islet of Tiboulen, which are picturesque islands of the Calanques National Park. From your kayak, you will also see the famous Cap Croisette, as well as Les Goudes. If we are lucky, we may see some sunfish along the way. In groups of 12 people at most, you can let your inner explorer out and see what the coastline around Marseille has to offer.!
Tour programme Preparation The meeting point is directly at our base on the beach of Pointe Rouge, not far from the starting point of our guided tour. Please arrive there 30 minutes before the booked time. We will then provide you with all the necessary equipment (life jacket, waterproof canister, kayak and paddle) and give a short introduction on how to use it. Tour Once you have taken your place in your sea kayak, we will head to the Calanques. We will pass several places that are not to be missed in and around Marseille, such as the Bain des Dames, the Anse des Phocéens and the small fishing port of La Madrague. We will also be able to admire the village of Les Goudes and the Cap Croisette. From there, we will go around the island of Maïre and the island of Tiboulen to see the impressive rock formations of their coasts. Return After 3 to 4 hours on the water, we will return to our starting point. To do so, we will once again pass by the Cap Croisette and you will also see the Calanque of la Baie des Singes.

United Kingdom · July 2024I would recommend this activity for people who are generally quite fit and active. We booked for a 3 hour trip which got us as far as Cap Croisette and Les Goudes. The guide was fantastic and all the staff there were really kind & friendly. You kayak out of the bay at Marseille, and around the coast to visit some lovely secluded beaches. Some of the journey is across parts of the sea where the wind is stronger and the water a little choppy, which is harder work than calm water. On a previous walking visit to the Calanque d'En-vau we had seen kayaks and thought this was what we were doing, but to visit the Calanques in that area (Parc national des Calanques) you would need to take a kayak trip from Cassis, so check which Calanques you want to explore before booking a trip and choose either Marseille or Cassis.
