Jade was a wonderful guide and led on a fantastic hike through the Calanques. She told us a lot about the history and geography of the area and had a lovely selection of snacks for us to enjoy during the swim! She was great at adjusting her pace too when some people asked to take it a bit slower given the hot weather. I will say these hikes are certainly challenging, even more so in intense heatwave, so bring lots of water, sun protection, and proper hiking shoes!
