What to expect

Setting off from Marseille's Old Port, embark on an unforgettable boat trip into the heart of the Calanques National Park. In a small group of no more than 12 people, our comfortable boat will take you right up close to these fascinating landscapes of vertiginous limestone cliffs and idyllic coves with crystal-clear waters.

From the very first moments of the trip, your gaze will be drawn to a string of small ports nestled along the coastline. Then the rocky landscape of Cap Croisette offers a taste of what’s to come, as the Riou archipelago comes into view on the horizon. Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton... the calanques roll by, each more memorable than the last. At the captain’s discretion, swimming stops will be offered amidst this spectacular setting, during which you can make use of the snorkeling equipment and GoPro camera available on board to discover the region’s teeming underwater life.

In the afternoon, the tour is extended to include further locations, other gems with evocative names: Port-Pin, Port-Miou, En-Vau... Then comes the return journey, offering you a final chance to admire the rugged coastline passing before your eyes.
