    Not all skill levels

    Jennifer_H, Jun 2025
    Overall this trip takes you to absolutely stunning Calanques. However, it is NOT suited for all skill levels. You begin with taking the kayak you are using to dock area (which was very rocky and difficult to do). The beginning of kayaking was smooth. Once we got to open waters it was very wavy and strenuous to paddle. Stopped in a beautiful cave, went to Calanque en Vue. Had lunch there and about an hr break. (Absolutely breath taking). After stop addle back through some pretty high waves. Once arrived at dock we had to bring Kayak up hill which was rocky as well. I highly recommend this tour would add another tour guide. Also suggest the tour guide bring at least a bottle of water for passengers.

    Beautiful trip!

    This was a beautiful kayaking trip through the Calanques. Definitely bring your water and sunscreen, as well as water shoes. Our guide was very helpful instructing us how to get in and out comfortably. We got quite lost initially trying to find the meeting point but our guide and group waited for us, which was much appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed this beautiful sea kayaking trip through the Calanques of Provence with Expenature. Exploring the Calanques near La Ciotat and Cassis by canoë-kayak is truly a unique way to discover the natural beauty of the Mediterranean coast in the Bouches-du-Rhône region. We’re happy to hear our guide made you feel comfortable, especially with the kayaking techniques and getting in and out of the boat. And no worries about getting a bit lost — we’re always happy to wait when possible so that everyone can enjoy the adventure together. Thanks also for the helpful tips you’re sharing with future guests — water, sunscreen and water shoes are definitely must-haves! We hope to see you again soon for another kayak adventure in Provence 🌊🛶 Warm regards, The Expenature
