Most of the Calanques are easiest to reach by water, so this list compares the boats that do it well. Trips range from two-hour loops out of the Vieux-Port to half days with a swim stop. The inlets became a national park in 2012, and mornings usually bring the calmest water.
Explore the stunning Calanques from Marseille on a boat tour featuring swimming, snorkeling, and scenic stops, led by knowledgeable guides for an unforgettable experience.
