Embark on an exclusive tour of the Calanques: thanks to our small boats, discover well-kept secrets and unspoiled coves.
It is difficult to give a precise number, as there are around thirty in total, but rest assured that we visit everything there is to see on each tour! Our itineraries obviously include the main and most iconic Calanques mentioned on our tour, but the Bleu Évasion experience doesn't stop there. Thanks to the maneuverability of our boats, we take you to discover all the lesser-known Calanques, wild coves, and secret places inaccessible to larger vessels. Furthermore, our tours cover much more ground than kayaking or hiking (see the comparison).
We adapt to your desires. If you're interested, our discovery of the Calanques includes a captivating narrative weaving together the secrets of the region through the ages. Together, we will explore the geology: how this white limestone, born beneath a tropical sea millions of years ago, was sculpted by erosion to become this spectacular landscape of cliffs and coves. You will also discover the fascinating history of the first humans of the Cosquer cave. Our boats sail very close to the shore so that you can appreciate the terrestrial fauna and flora, and then the underwater world with fins, mask, and snorkel! A true cultural immersion awaits you, punctuated by local anecdotes to bring every panorama encountered during your visit to life.
You don't need to know how to swim to enjoy the boat tour, but it is essential for swimming in the open sea. Safety first: our boats are equipped with CE-approved life jackets for adults and children. On board: you can stay on deck and enjoy the scenery in complete safety. Buoyancy aids: for those who are unsure in the water, we always provide “fries” or flotation devices. Simply let the skipper know your level when you board.
Motorboat: this is the ideal option for those who want to make the biggest tour. Fast and maneuverable, it allows you to get as close as possible to the crevices and caves. It is a dynamic choice, perfect for optimizing sailing time and making multiple stops for swimming in the Calanques. It is also the best option for people who are prone to seasickness.
Catamarans: These are the gold standard for comfort and relaxation. They offer plenty of space to move around, sunbathe on the nets, and enjoy a friendly moment out at sea. They are the preferred choice for a contemplative day of relaxation and space. What's more, at Bleu Évasion, we love to set sail.
Yes, booking is strongly recommended, especially during the summer season. The Calanques National Park limits the number of boats allowed to preserve the site. By booking your tour in advance, you secure your place on the boat of your choice and allow us to prepare for your arrival in the best possible conditions.
