Details
Join us for a unique boat trip as we set sail from Bandol to explore the mesmerizing wonders of the 13 Calanques of Cassis and Marseille, a true gem of the Mediterranean in the heart of the Calanques National Park. Brace yourself for a day filled with breathtaking landscapes, turquoise waters, and unforgettable sights! It all begins with a charming passage in front of the port of La Ciotat, where you can admire the picturesque old shipyard that echoes the town's rich maritime history. Our journey continues as we pass by our first calanque, the calanque of Mugel. Next, we will be venturing to the renowned Figuerolles and the majestic cliffs of Cap Canaille.
As we navigate across the bay of Cassis, get ready to witness the charm of Port Miou and Port Pin, followed a series of stunning calanques, such as En Vau, Ogues, Devenson and l'Oeil de Verre. The journey continues to the legendary Pierres Tombées, the calanques of Sugiton and Morgiou, famous for its fishing harbour.
As we pass Cap Morgiou, we will venture into the calanque ofTriperie, home to the incredible underwater Cave Cosquer. Finally, our boat will navigate through the calanque of Sormiou, the largest of all, where the crystal-clear waters offer a striking contrast to the wild landscape. On the way back to Bandol, you will have the opportunity to see the Parc des Calanques again from the open sea.
