Our favorite excursion so far on our trip! We had a blast on this tour. There were lots of photos stops with information about the area from the guide, followed by swimming and snorkeling (with the opportunity to grab a beverage), and finally on our way back in our guide (Cedric) did a few tricks with the speedboat to make the ride so fun and exciting! Highly recommend this excursion.

Wonderful experience, guide was super knowledgeable. The boat was super fun taking cool turns and bumps on the waves. Snokeriling is fun

Guide did not speak English (despite advertised on homepage and written on the ticket), and he was too lazy to actually drive closer to the caves (where competitor boats went into). Too bad, would have been a great activity. Kids loved the diving stop though. Would book again with another company that fulfill both requirements

Dear Mr Izakowicz
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your trip last Monday. I have identified the pilot who was with you and have just spoken to him about your trip.
Alexis is not our best English speaking driver, I agree, but the general safety briefing and all the main information during the ride was translated into English.
He certainly makes mistakes in conjugation, but manages to make himself understood by everyone, as many Anglo-Saxon reviews attest...
As for the entrance to the grotte des contrebandiers at Cap Dramont, the Office national des forets and the office de protection du littoral have been asking us for the last 8 days to avoid it because a protected species of bat has just arrived there to nest and reproduce.
It is therefore normal that you do not enter completely. Our tour is primarily about discovering the calanques and the red rocks, and the cave is not the main focus of the outing. It's only 15m deep...
There are certainly some boats going in there at the moment, but in my opinion the preservation of protected species is more important ....
I think your children enjoyed the experience, that's something...
Have a good holiday!

I chose this tour because it said it was available in English. The tour guide was aware that I spoke English and did not translate anything the entire trip. Fortunately, I had taken the same tour earlier in the day with a different company which was extremely thorough in explaining each stop in both English and French. Additionally, it seemed that the tour guide was close friends with at least half of the people on the boat so he spent most of the time talking and joking with them. The very short stop he made to explain different locations were extremely minimal in comparison to the tour I did in the morning where the stops were long and thoroughly explained. The seats must be straddle the entire time. The bottle of wine that is described in the description must be split amongst everyone on board -you’re given a small half of a cup. I would recommend going for the same that’s much cheaper run by Sea You Sun. I have requested half of a refund.

We really kiffed this moment and our companions also made the difference!
Between Normans, Savoyards and other horizons, the Mood was very cool!
Really an experiment to make and redo...
