If you are in Marseille and want to discover the famous Frioul archipelago and the Château d'If, you're in the right place! Begin your adventure at Marseille's Old Port, where you'll board a comfortable RIB boat, perfect for navigating the Mediterranean waters. As you leave the port, you will be greeted by the majestic view of the Bonne Mère watching over the city. Enjoy a scenic ride along the coast, where you'll first see the traditional port of Vallon des Auffes, a picturesque spot known for its charming fishing boats and unique atmosphere.
Continuing the journey, the boat will take you past the Degaby Island and offer a breathtaking view of the Château d'If, made famous by Alexandre Dumas' novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo". The tour then heads towards the stunning Frioul Islands, where you'll have 1.5 hours of free time. Use this time to explore the small village, enjoy a drink at one of the local bars, or take a refreshing swim in a secluded cove with crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling masks are provided for those who wish to explore the underwater world. Finally, return to Marseille, where you can savour a delicious Bouillabaisse, the city's signature dish.
We meet near the Mucem, in the port of Marseille, 15 minutes before departure. If you come by car, you will find paid parking nearby.

Very enjoyable and relaxing. Just the right number of people.
Great experience! I was looking for a boat trip that wouldn't cost me too much and, truly, my expectations were exceeded! For reference, I opted for the 3-hour excursion to the Frioul archipelago. The small boat is really comfortable and being in a small group really makes you feel like you're on a private ride. The guide is super friendly, reassuring and attentive, he made us laugh throughout and I really liked the interesting anecdotes he gave at times. The Frioul archipelago has several coves in which you will find more tranquility, because they are much less busy than those around Marseille. I had a great time and, for the price, I think it's definitely worth it!
