Description

The Kayak is the best way to discover the Green Island (Ile Verte), the Eagle Beak (Bec de l'Aigle) and the Mugel Creek (Calanque du Mugel), evolving over the water enjoying the unique points of view. A wonderful opportunity to share a good moment with a local and passionate guide. All year long it's a great experience and a sweet way to discover this part of the Calanques National Park. The price is for 3 hours. It's an interesting tour to not only discover the coast but also learn more about our beautiful area and biodiversity associated. The meeting point is at EXPENATURE : 168 Avenue Wilson 13600 La Ciotat on the new port. It's time to get wild and join the adventure we created for you !

Fantastic adventure!

Romy was very personable, knowledgeable and made sure we were aware of important points in the tour. The tour was at a good pace and we were provided with life jackets and a kayak skirt to keep us dry in the kayak. Clear instructions were given on how to get in and out of the kayak as well as a quick lesson on paddling. No need to bring a camera as Romy took pictures along the way! Overall it was a beautiful experience and I would definitely recommend.

Great guide, great route, great fun - a must!

A great way to discover the calanques, the Green Island and their environment. Our guide Romuald was fantastic and entertaining, the itinerary was great with enough stops for information, water and rest. Very family friendly, no kayak experience needed. Make sure to bring sunscreen (on the legs too!!), a hat, sunglasses and water!

Amazing sea kayaking experience

Fantastic sea kayaking experience, we had an amazing time. We were taught the techniques required before setting off on the adventure. Lots of history shared on the way and everything always translated into English so we knew what was happening. Would highly recommend.
