I 100% recommend this activity to anyone who enjoys hiking, beautiful views and the beach. Our guide was knowledgeable and such a joy to chat with. I really appreciate that we took public transport which kept this activity more affordable. It's a pretty short bus ride anyway. This activity was the best thing I experienced in Marseille! We visited Sugiton beach, which is out-of-this-world beautiful. The funny thing is I booked this activity because I enjoy hiking and visiting national parks, but I didn't realize we would also be visiting an actual beach. From the main image of the activity I expected rocky mountains with the sea in the background, so yes I expected beautiful views, but I didn't bother scrolling through the images to see the beaches. Actually I wasn't expecting a beach at all. I'm from the U.S, so when I see the work 'creek' it brings a visual more of a tiny stream in a forest. But Calanque de Sugiton "creek" is actually a Stunningly beautiful tiny little beach! Enjoy!!
