Description
The half-day guided tour is a unique experience. After putting the kayaks in the water and leaving the port of l'Estaque, we will follow the beautiful coast of the Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue then its small coves and creeks before stopping at a small beach that is difficult to access by land for a break with swimming in transparent water. The return is a little further offshore to enjoy a panoramic view of the Côte Bleue and the bay of Marseille.

Jordan was great. Fluent in English and very accommodating. Supplied life jackets. Water shoes, dry bag and a good time.
It is a moderately strenuous activity. A great experience but can be challenging for first time kayakers.
The adventure started off nicely, but unfortunately it turned into a genuinely frightening and unsafe experience. At the halfway point, we stopped for a 20 minute swim. Before continuing, we were told to swap kayaks with another couple, but the instructor gave us no explanation as to why. As soon as we got into the new kayak, everything went wrong. We were in the middle of the sea and the kayak was clearly not functioning properly and began taking on water. We started falling further and further behind the rest of the group. Eventually, everyone else had reached the shore while we were still more than a kilometre behind, struggling in the middle of the water. Despite this, the instructor did not come back to check on us or seem concerned that we were so far behind. We called out to the instructor multiple times for help, but he did not respond. By the time we eventually got closer to him, he was sitting there on his phone and seemed completely unbothered. The situation became even worse when the kayak sank and we fell into the water. My wife cannot swim, which made this extremely dangerous. Even then, there was absolutely no sense of urgency. The instructor did not properly check whether we were okay or make sure that my wife, who he knew could not swim, was safely helped to shore. Instead, we were effectively left in the water, and I had to help drag my wife back to shore myself. I also cut my leg during the incident. What concerns me most is how differently this could have ended. My wife cannot swim and we were left far behind the group in the middle of the sea in a kayak that was taking on water. Someone could have been seriously injured or drowned, yet nobody appeared concerned that we had fallen so far behind or checked on us. Afterwards, the instructor showed no concern or accountability. He told us that he did not care if we left a 1 star review, said it was not his fault, and told us to speak to his manager if we had an issue. Overall, I would give this experience 1/10. What started as an enjoyable adventure became frightening because of the complete lack of attention to our safety. Equipment can fail, but there is no excuse for failing to monitor your group, ignoring people calling for help, and showing no urgency when two customers end up in the water, especially when one of them cannot swim.
First time kayaking, discovering the seaside by another means was really pleasant. We went along the edge of the rocks, a little break on a small beach. Plan a massage for the evening to avoid muscle soreness 😅
Do not use this company. Had to give 1 star to be able to write review. Booked 3 months in advance. Upon arrival, was told our booking was not on their list. Only had 1 guide for 20+ people. Owner had no solution to problem and took no responsibility. Ruined our experience for family of 6.
Great guide and equipment. To cruise down the sea dock along the coast with nice scenery. Do need to bring plenty of water and sunscreen! Overall great service and experience! Thank you Jordan !
We had a wonderful time kayaking. The views were beautiful. We took a taxi from the cruise port to the meeting point and it was super easy to find and only took about 13 minutes. Bring snacks or something for lunch, as the guide stops at a little rocky beach area and gives you time to snack and/or swim. It's probably best if you have kayaked before. It wasn't terribly rough water but there was a family with younger children and they had a tough time navigating appropriately.
Superb kayak trip with Loup and his team! I recommend it if you are passing through Marseille!
Fun for all ages, really lovely experience, guide was informative and accommodating. All equipment provided and full instructions given.
