Pick up a kayak from ExpeNature in La Ciotat and spend up to seven hours paddling toward the Calanques, Grand Mugel, and Ile Verte. Justine provides a clear paddling demonstration and suitable equipment. You choose the pace, with swimming and island stops possible along the way.

“Although we were an hour late, Justine was very kind and understanding of our tardiness. She was very lovely and gave us a good demo on how to paddle properly, and equipped us in the appropriate kit. Although we encountered some choppy waters whilst on our way to the calanques, where we got to swim around by lovely beaches. There is a possibility to visit and island with a restaurant which is very fun. We greatly enjoyed the trip. Would highly recommend, especially if the day is sunny!”
