Highly recommended

We had a fab time, family of 4, 2 kids 10 & 14. We were in double kayaks and the distance was easily achievable.

Natural experience in Marseilles

We were greeted by friendly staff. We felt safe and well looked after. Our guide was accommodating and included English in his tour interpretations.

The swim was lovely, we saw an octopus and a starfish!

We went as a family of 6 who have been on 2 previous kayaking tours. This one was a lot harder than the other two. Where before it was on glassy lakes, this one was in the ocean with waves and the distance! I think our guide said we went about 5 miles at the end. My 16 year old son, who is in shape, loved it. Our other kids, were looking for a more relaxing kayaking trip and weren't as enthusiastic. Once we had lunch a little later, they were all glad we went.

Ok (know what to expect and it could be good)

We were really looking forward to this tour!! I booked a morning tour as it was recommended to us that the water would be calmer. (Family of 5 - kids are 12, 9, and 6.) Unfortunately, very late the evening before they cancelled our tour and we were told no mornings were available for the foreseeable future. We were given options on afternoon tours. We chose one and hoped for the best. The tour is out of a public parking lot/boat ramp at the very outskirts of Marseille. It was extremely hot, in the 90s with "feels like" temps of over 100 degrees. The check-in was very chaotic. The workers were pleasant and doing their best, but they were running out of wet bags (free), back rests (rented) and kayaks. I have been on many kayak tours and never have I needed to rent the back rest, it was odd. Thankfully we got the last 2 for the adults in our group. I would not have done well without as I have back issues. You also *must* have water shoes or sandals with straps around your heels. They have water shoes to rent which my husband and I did.

It was fine. Note- they are very thin soled so the heat and hardness of the parking lot were keenly felt. We then waited in the hot, black parking lot with no shade while others checked in and got their items. It was probably 30 mins of incredible sweaty waiting. Any small shade tent would have been a huge upgrade!!

Our guide was lovely! We had a brief lesson and then finally able to get in the cool water! She told us a few things about what we were seeing and passing. It was wavey! And proceeded to get worse throughout the afternoon. We kayaked a total of 7 km along the coast. My arms felt it as we battled the wind and water the entire way out. The sea is breathtaking! The small beach to swim at the halfway point was amazing!

I think with a few tweaks this experience could have been wonderful.
