Equipment rental

Whatever the activity, it is open to all and provides sensations from the very first time, always respecting the safety rules and according to each person's abilities.

Sea kayaking is a type of aquatic trekking and differs from lake or river kayaking in terms of muscle activation. Canoeing allows you to explore the Ile Verte, the Calanque du Mugel in half a day and to go as far as the Calanque de Figuerolles for a day.

Stand up paddling can be done by the hour as the activity is much more physical over the long term than kayaking and also moves more slowly. You can then enjoy the activity along the beaches including the Plage Lumière in La Ciotat. ExpéNATURE has paddles for beginners which allow everyone to try the activity.

The snorkelling kit can also be booked if you want to enjoy the diversity of the underwater world. ExpéNATURE will not fail to offer you nice places to dive.

Don't wait any longer: book an activity!
Whatever you want to do, ExpéNATURE reserves the right to cancel or postpone your booking if the weather conditions do not allow the activity to take place!
