What you can expect

Leave the city bustle behind and explore the “wild side” of Marseille: the Côte Bleue Marine Park.

Departing from the Mucem, you will set course North for a 3.5-hour immersion in nature. Unlike the busy Calanques National Park (South), the Côte Bleue offers a preserved, authentic atmosphere with typical fishing villages and crystal-clear water.

Your Adventure Itinerary:

  • The Marine Caves: Weather permitting, your skipper will navigate inside the Madrague Cave, a natural cavity with intense blue water and impressive acoustics. You will also see the Méjan Cave, accessible only by swimming.
  • Swimming Stops: We drop anchor in hidden gems accessible only by boat/foot. Dive into the Calanque des Eaux Salées or the spectacular Calanque de l'Éverine, famous for its white cliffs and turquoise lagoon. Masks and snorkels are provided to observe the protected marine life.
  • Village Stopover: Enjoy a 30-minute break at the Port of La Redonne. You can stretch your legs, use the restroom, grab a drink, or jump from the famous natural diving platform favored by locals.

Local Culture: Admire the traditional “Pointus” (wooden fishing boats) in the port of La Madrague.

On board the comfortable semi-rigid boat, enjoy a fresh water shower after your swim. A perfect mix of exploration and relaxation.
