Water and drinks are your own, transport to the trailhead is not included and moderate fitness is needed. 4.61 from 243 reviews for 5h. **On foot?:** Student promo: guided Calanques hike from Luminy with snacks, 5h at €35 per person; student proof may be required. 4.61, 243 reviews. Trade-off: Water and tips extra. (last checked September 24, 2026) ## Overview A hike through Calanques National Park starting right from Luminy, with a local guide who knows the unmarked trails. Take in incredible panoramic views for your best travel photos, cool off at a swim stop, and, conditions permitting, swim out to explore the hidden Blue Cave. A breath of fresh, natural air right at the edge of the city. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Your guide will meet you in front of the… - Starts 09:00, 21:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: see what is included ## Key facts - Price: from €35 per person - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.61/5 from 243 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 91% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Planetazur ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Student promo | €35 / person | French, English | Student rate: Proof of student status (student card or registration) may be requested by the guide before starting. | | Standard | €40 / person | English, French | Duration: 5 hours | | Private winter circuit | €90 / person (for 2+ people) | English, French | Duration: 4 hours Picnic: Bread, cheese, jam, fruit, cherry tomatoes, hummus | ## What's included - Your guide brings snacks to share, and you're welcome to bring your own favorites to add to the shared picnic too. - Guide ## Not included - Bottled water - Gratuities - Private transportation - Drinks ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 09:00, 21:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-24 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Your guide will meet you in front of the fine arts school on the Luminy campus at 8:55am.
