In the open water, our guide really speeded up to make sure, we have enough time to visit lots of beautiful spots at the coast. He also gave us background information and made sure, everybody feels comfortable. One important thing though: Make sure, you bring a windproof jacket (and maybe an additional sweater)! Although we had 25 degrees, the wind was cold when the guide drove fast and after having swum, you become cold...”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 335 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $83.48

Marseille to Calanques National Park by small-group e-bike, with sea views and a swim stop, plus handy hotel transport.

“Four of our family of five had an incredible time on this eBike tour. we give the tour 5-stars, and especially our guide Vincent was a tremendous guide. We all strongly recommend you consider this outing. This views are beautiful and for adventurers the trails were a ton of fun. The 5th member of our family is less adventurous, and is a female in her 50s and is not an athlete so struggled pretty significantly on the difficult hills, as the eBike alone even in turbo mode requires a bit of effort.”

There was opportunity to pre-purchase sandwiches at the bike-cafe which are later delivered to you at the beach/lunch stop and they were very tasty.”
