# Guided kayak excursion in creeks

**Guidekin's take:** A half day in a sea kayak from the port of l'Estaque along the Côte Bleue marine park, into small coves and onto a beach you cannot reach by land, with a swim break. Kayak, paddle, life jacket and dry bag come with a certified guide; closed shoes are compulsory, water and sun protection are yours to bring. 4.55 from 118 reviews at €60 per person.

In our comparison: #6 of 8 in Calanques National Park Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

The half-day guided tour is a unique experience. After putting the kayaks in the water and leaving the port of l'Estaque, we will follow the beautiful coast of the Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue then its small coves and creeks before stopping at a small beach that is difficult to access by land for a break with swimming in transparent water. The return is a little further offshore to enjoy a panoramic view of the Côte Bleue and the bay of Marseille.
