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.

5.00We stayed with the cruise ship for a day in Marseille. SUD KAYAK is easily accessible by bus 35T in 10 minutes, but you have to plan for a good 20 minutes on foot (via the port area) for the way from the cruise terminal to the bus stop. Lou received us at the meeting point and equipped us with shoes and safety vests and gave us a brief briefing. We stayed with 2 children (8 and 11 years) on a 4-seater kayak. Our children had no kayaking experience and we have only done this a few times so far. ES was exhausting, but ES is feasible and an absolute recommendation. You should be prepared to stop for a good hour (30 minutes stop at a bathing bay) and paddle back for a good hour. Lou was a great guide, spoke very good English and even took photos that we could download later. Absolute recommendation. Please note: it is best not to take valuables with you (you do not need them anyway). So that nothing falls into the water or is stolen at the meeting point (public parking). We were able to leave our things (shoes/backpack) with Lou in the car.
A day in the bay!

5.00This is quite the workout! The kayaking takes place in the bay (along an underwater channel that they call a kreik - not a typical creek). Our guide Loup was amazing - he kept our group of 18 together despite a huge range of abilities. He took and shared pictures of each kayak along the way, too! The beach you stop at is picturesque and pretty secluded (only a few locals were there with us) which made this a unique experience. We had a few first time kayakers in the group (kids included) and they had a hard time, but as sometimes kayakers it was a good trip.

5.00As first time kayakers and new to Marseille, this was a beautiful and fun way to see the city. Jordan was the best guide, he was kind and I appreciated that he took the time to get to know everyone. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who needs a break from the tourist parts of the city to get a little sunshine.
