About the experience

Calanques of Marseille Tour

Depart from the Old Port of Marseille for a 3-hour excursion to discover the treasures of the Marseille coastline, a blend of heritage, nature, and crystal-clear waters. Embark on a friendly, intimate boat trip, accompanied by a passionate local guide who will share their extensive knowledge of the fauna, flora, history, and well-kept secrets of the Mediterranean.

You will first cruise along the coast towards the picturesque Vallon des Auffes, a true Marseille postcard scene. Then, you will set sail for Île Degaby, a small jewel nestled in the sea, where you can now enjoy a meal (reservations required) in a truly exceptional setting.

After a brief stop opposite the famous Château d’If, made famous by Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo (non-stop), you will continue your cruise to the Frioul Islands, where a stopover is possible, allowing you to explore the port and its coves at your leisure.

This is the perfect opportunity for a swim in crystal-clear waters, to enjoy a drink in one of the port's cafés, or simply to stroll around this still-wild island, surrounded by tranquility, sea, and nature. With a bit of luck, you might even spot dolphins or sunfish in the wake of the boat. Snorkeling equipment is available on board.

The schedule is flexible: feel free to contact us to arrange the best time to depart. Book your seaside escape now, in the heart of Marseille's magic!
