Full description

Immerse yourself in the pristine natural beauty of the Calanques of La Ciotat and embark on an unforgettable sea kayaking adventure with GetYourGuide. Our excursion takes you into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, where you'll explore hidden coves, towering cliffs, and picturesque islands that have made this preserved region of the French Riviera famous.

Marvel at the breathtaking views of majestic limestone cliffs and unique rock formations that line the coast. Accompanied by our experienced guides, you'll paddle through turquoise waters, stopping to explore sea caves, take refreshing swims in the crystal-clear waters, and discover the local marine life (specifically during the full day tour) On a half day tour we will focus on the beautiful island and or first calanques du Mugel.

Our company, Expénature started in 2007 and since then we lead groups through the Calanques national Park and beyond, employing the best so you can get the best experiences and knowledge about the spot you're just discovering. We take time to share together informations and tips about the area.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced kayaker, we will go with a group of 5 up to 16 persons. Or excursion is suitable for all levels and offers an unforgettable outdoor experience for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike. Our kayaks are safe and easy to maneuver, and our local and dedicated team is there to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the excursion. We will go with real sea kayaks that allow you to get faster and easier to the main attractions near by. The guide will focus on telling you stories about the city itself and the nature beauty around us.

You are a couple, this is a beautiful escape from reality and a great date idea in South of France, add it to your thing to do with her or him !

You are a solo traveler ? we welcome you with open arms to join a group of great individuals, and won't hesitate to tell you about what to do around during your stay.

You are a family ? take your kids to beautiful spot without worrying about safety or where to go, we will be here for you so you can enjoy quality time together !

If you ask yourself the difference between half and full day tour, the full day tour will allow you to see more, in a more relax way. We will get more time to have a swim and eat together on a calanque. We take more break and really go deeply into the explanation of things. A full day tour is not especially harder than a half day one.
The half day one is more suitable for people that research to see the highlights of La Ciotat and the calanques, and prioritize the tour more than swimming for example. If you are on a smaller budget, and don't have a lot of time around it's also a great idea, as the quality of the guide and tips will stay the same as the full day tour.

So much fun! You can tell Romy really loves what he does! He was so enthusiastic about the area, sharing great historical info with us! The water was gorgeous even though it was a bit choppy out. Romy made us all laugh and was so patient when one of the group would fall behind. His English was great as well! Would recommend!!
