What will we do?
Pack up your adventure bag as you follow your guide for a beautiful nature walk filled with discovery! Take in the picturesque coastline while exploring 25-million-year-old fossils, local plants and animals. You will learn all about the area and its beauty with plenty of photo friendly spots. Ensure to be ready for your family Polaroid included in your tour!
Next stop, we will dip our toes into the sand and grab a quick drink at our first beach café right on the water! This is an opportunity for you to rest your feet a little and continue the “island” like vibes.
Afterwards, we continue our journey into the next town, Sausset-les-Pins for beach fun and lunchtime! Take a dip in the sea as we stop by the shore for snorkelling with the colourful fish, swimming and overall free time. Please do not hesitate to grab lunch at one of the several beach cafés next to our beach spot or there is also a small supermarket if you prefer to buy a few snacks. Interested in pre-ordered lunch options? Contact us at info@ontreatours.com to see our availability!
In terms of gear, your guide will provide a few snorkelling masks, otherwise please feel free to bring your own mask, swimming suit, beach towel and sun cream. Public bathrooms are also available at this location.
Once we have discovered the underwater world, we will prepare to head back along the coast to get ready for the magnificent Calanques boat trip. (20€ additional charge, weather permitting)
If you are not in the mood to spot some waves on the boat tour, additional options will be provided on the day of our adventure.
Then, we will have the option for delicious French crêpes and ice cream sundaes including local Southern flavours. You can also choose to take a quick ride on the summer Ferris wheel if you like! (weather permitting)
Following our final adventure wrap up, we will board the train back to Marseille Saint-Charles after an unforgettable day in Carry-le-Rouet! Train departure times vary.
We can not wait to see you at the “sea!”
