For a more leisurely exploration, the full-day tour allows for extended breaks, swimming, and the chance to savor a meal together on the shores of a secluded calanque.

⚠️⚠️Please note that the kayak launch area in Cassis requires participants to carry or pull the kayaks a short distance to the water before departure. While this is part of the experience in this natural setting, it may require a moderate physical effort.

For travelers looking for easier water access and a more comfortable launch area, we recommend booking our tours departing from La Ciotat, which offer a much more accessible and convenient starting point.⚠️⚠️
