The tour with our guides, Elias and Hugo, was special in many ways. First of all, the two of them made for a thoroughly likable and high-spirited team. It was Elias’s first day, and he did an excellent job—impressing even his mentor, Hugo. We had originally booked a tour to the Calanques, but because severe weather was forecast for the evening, the guides informed us before departure that the initial gusts of the approaching storm would make swimming off Frioul Island a better and more pleasant option. It might not have been the exact same experience, but safety comes first—and this way, we didn't have to reschedule to a different date during our trip. As it turned out, the water there was also perfect for snorkeling and watching fish. The impending storm was likely the reason why there were only three of us on the boat instead of the usual maximum of twelve. Thanks to that—and to our delightful fellow passengers—it was a wonderful, fun, and personal tour; we highly recommend this company!

Super expérience avec un conducteur très gentil avec qui on a pu communiquer très simplement. Les enfants et ados ont adoré ! Les masques à disposition et les paddles ont été appréciés. Expérience qui vaut son prix. N’hésitez pas à partir avec Eco Calanques.

We were abit disappointed, no information about what we were visiting, no drinks. I understand that the captain was tired (he does 3 excursions during the day, starts at 9am and finishes at 11pm) and has no energy and patience to deal with another bunch o

The price-quality is very poor. It could be much more interactive and exciting for the price we paid.
