Here’s a selection of activities that combine a change of scenery, exploration, and unforgettable moments—perfect for making the most of this gem on the Var coast.

Boat Tour to Spot Dolphins

This boat trip offers a rare glimpse into wildlife. Guided by a team of passionate naturalists, you’ll take the time to observe dolphins and other cetaceans swimming freely offshore. It’s an experience our team was lucky enough to enjoy—and one that leaves a lasting impression.

Amid deep waters, shifting light, and the silence of the sea, the day unfolds like a true naturalist’s journey. Onboard commentary sheds light on every encounter, from playful dolphins to curious sea turtles. Six hours of escape to take in all the beauty—and fragility—of the open Mediterranean.

Méhari Tour with MyWine Adventure

It’s hard to resist the charm of a vintage Méhari cruising between the sea and the hills. This getaway reveals Bandol from an elegant perspective: rolling landscapes, sun-drenched vineyards, and stops at a winery where you’ll discover the history of the region at the winemakers’ own pace.

The journey has a certain joyful and timeless quality, like a stolen moment in Provence. A tour of the vineyard, a discussion about grape varieties, and an immersion in winemaking methods…An activity full of character, perfect for offering a timeless experience.

Winery Tour with Wine Tasting

As the sun sets, the vineyards of Bandol take on an almost golden hue. It’s in this atmosphere that the Méhari ride begins, heading toward two iconic estates. The guide shares anecdotes and secrets of the terroir, all while paving the way for authentic encounters.

As the tastings unfold, you’ll discover precise, luminous wines, each reflecting the personality of its winemaker. A gentle, immersive experience, ideal for those who love to understand what they’re tasting as much as they love to savor the landscapes that gave birth to it.

Morning Kayaking with Kayak Bandol

In the morning, the sea is almost silky smooth: it’s the perfect time to set out in a kayak and explore Bandol from the water. The route takes you past Bendor Island, Île Rousse, a few hidden coves, and a sun-drenched bay that reveals new facets with every stroke of the paddle.

Erwan and his team guide the group with warmth, weaving in swimming breaks, photo stops, and explanations about the coastline. Three hours of peaceful paddling, punctuated by a stop in a small calanque. An accessible, refreshing, and truly enjoyable activity.

Side-Car Wine Tour Through the Vineyards

Between Marseille, Cassis, and Bandol, this sidecar wine tour is everything you’d expect from a dream road trip. Whether you’re sitting in the sidecar or on the back, you’ll cruise along the coast, climb up to Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, and then cross the hills to reach the sun-drenched vineyards.

On the agenda: exploring iconic villages, hearing anecdotes from your driver-guide, and stopping at a winery for a guided tasting.

Exploring the Seabed with the Aquascope

The Aquascope lets you explore the Mediterranean seabed without getting wet, comfortably seated in a semi-submersible observation trimaran. Thanks to its submerged, transparent hull, you can observe fish, Posidonia seagrass beds, and underwater landscapes up close, as if you were actually diving.

The 30-minute guided tour appeals to children and adults alike: fish swim right up to the portholes, the Posidonia meadows reveal themselves as a true haven of life, and time seems to stand still.

Rigid-hulled boat tour of the calanques

From the sea, the calanques take on a whole new dimension. Aboard a RIB, we speed along at a brisk pace before gliding into more secluded coves, where the cliffs plunge into crystal-clear turquoise water. The atmosphere shifts between exploration and relaxation.

Boating, swimming, snorkeling, breaks in the sun: the pace is relaxed and friendly. We truly fell in love with those moments when we found ourselves alone facing the limestone cliffs and the deep blue sea.
