If you know how to swim and want to enjoy a memorable experience in Marseille, this snorkelling excursion from a boat is just what you need! From the Pointe Rouge harbour, you will set off for a 20-25 minute boat ride in Marseille harbour to reach your snorkelling site in the Frioul islands or the Riou archipelago (depending on sea conditions), whatever the season: the water in the Mediterranean Sea can rise to 26°C in summer and only drop to 14°C in winter, making for pleasant temperatures that you will be able to enjoy with your wetsuits!

Once you arrive at the snorkelling site in the Frioul islands or Riou archipelago in Marseille's Calanques, the instructor will tell you everything you need to know about the area you will be diving in with your fins, mask and snorkel. A fish identification leaflet is also on board to help you identify the species you may encounter during your snorkelling tour. Then it will be time to get in the water for an hour and a half of free snorkelling, at a minimum depth of 1 to 2 metres to give you the chance to see as much as possible!

Supervised by an instructor from the boat, you will have the pleasure of swimming in clear waters, with the option of returning to the boat to enjoy the sun and rest before diving back in. This snorkelling excursion in Marseille is the perfect way to spend half a day, summer or winter, so don't miss it!

Fun trip snorkeling, the staff were friendly and multi lingual, reccomend if you have been snorkeling before but probably not for first timers.

The boat ride and snorkeling was fun. We were well equipped and saw a bunch of fish. The snorkeling was easy for children too, very nice experience overall.
