Itinerary
The first stop of your excursion is at the beautiful Port d’Alon Calanques, the perfect place to begin your day in a relaxing and scenic setting. I’ll take you to a secluded cove, far from the crowds, where peace and tranquility surround you. The water is incredibly clear, offering breathtaking natural views. It’s the ideal spot to unwind, swim, or simply admire the cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. With the masks and snorkels I provide, you can explore the rich marine life below the surface. Starfish, crabs, colorful fish, sea urchins, and sponges reveal the incredible diversity of this underwater world. This stop allows you to fully immerse yourself in nature, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a peaceful and refreshing experience while discovering a hidden paradise known to only a few visitors. It’s the perfect way to start the day with a smile.
The second stop of your excursion takes you to the stunning Mugel Natural Park, a perfect place to relax in the heart of Mediterranean nature. Here, you can admire lush vegetation, shaded walking paths, and spectacular sea views while enjoying the fresh coastal air. It’s the ideal setting for a lunch break and a chance to recharge before continuing your day of exploration. Depending on your preferences, you may bring a picnic to enjoy in the park, or, if you prefer a more comfortable option, we can stop at a restaurant in La Madrague or Bandol to sample local specialties. Whether you choose to relax on the grass, use the park’s facilities, or enjoy a seated meal, this break offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, share experiences, and fully appreciate the beauty of the park before continuing to the next stages of your adventure.
The third stop takes you into the heart of the stunning Mugel Calanques, a perfect place to combine relaxation and adventure. You can swim in crystal-clear waters, discover marine life with the snorkeling masks I provide—especially the many starfish—and fully enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The cliffs, hidden coves, and vibrant colors of the sea create an exceptional setting for both relaxation and exploration. For those seeking a little more excitement, some areas offer the opportunity to jump from the rocks into the water, providing a fun adrenaline rush while remaining safe. Whether you want to swim, explore the underwater world, or simply take in the breathtaking scenery, this stop offers a genuine connection with nature and a memorable shared experience. Combining adventure, wonder, and freedom, this stage is sure to become one of the highlights of your day.
To conclude your exceptional day, we’ll take the breathtaking Route des Crêtes, a spectacular coastal road overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and offering some of the most stunning views in the region. This iconic route showcases the wild beauty of the coastline, with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters whose colors change throughout the day with the sunlight. Along the way, we’ll stop at several viewpoints where you can take unforgettable photos, enjoy the fresh sea air, and fully appreciate the scale and beauty of the landscape. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax, reflect on the day’s adventures, and soak in the incredible scenery surrounding you. Whether you are a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or simply looking for peace and beauty, the Route des Crêtes provides a magical and unforgettable finale to your excursion, perfectly complementing a day filled with discovery, relaxation, and memorable moments.
This stop takes you to the beautiful village of Cassis, a true gem of the Mediterranean coast. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters, this charming seaside town is renowned for its authenticity, colorful harbor, and relaxed atmosphere. You’ll have the opportunity to stroll through its picturesque streets, admire the sunlit Provençal architecture, and enjoy spectacular viewpoints overlooking the sea and the famous calanques. Blending local traditions, Mediterranean charm, and breathtaking scenery, Cassis invites you to slow down and savor every moment. Whether you wish to explore its heritage, relax at a waterfront café, or simply soak up the unique ambiance of the South of France, this stop offers a delightful and memorable experience.

Very nice day with guide Yanis and his assistant at the helm Hugo. We were very lucky with a bright weather. They were really great with our little nephew of 10 years who was delighted to discover the coves of Saint Cyr. He was even able to hold the bar for the return to the port, discovering the seabed, mini caves and finally we ate very good ice cream when we arrived at the port on the advice of Yanis. Do not hesitate to call on their Service they are at the top!
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour chaleureux 🙏 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une aussi belle journée à Saint-Cyr avec Hugo et moi, et que votre neveu ait pu profiter pleinement de cette découverte, jusqu’à tenir la barre du bateau 🚤🌊 Petite précision : votre commentaire a été posté sur le mauvais produit. L’excursion en bateau est proposée sur une autre sortie spécifique, différente de la découverte des calanques en voiture.
