About this tour
Paddle through Sète's network of waterways on a three-hour sea kayak journey, exploring the canals that earned this French port town its venetian reputation. You'll navigate narrow waterways and open water alike, moving at your own pace while discovering the architecture and character of this Mediterranean fishing village from the water. All equipment provided; swimming ability required.
Highlights
- Paddle narrow canals lined with colourful shuttered buildings
- Access spots inaccessible by foot or car
- Suitable for ages six and up with adult supervision
- Life jackets, paddles, waterproof bags supplied
- Mix of sheltered canal passages and open water sections
What to expect
You'll launch from the town waterfront and spend three hours paddling through Sète's interconnected canal system. The pace is steady rather than strenuous—expect plenty of time to observe local life, spot fishing boats, and photograph the buildings reflected in the water. Some sections are narrow and sheltered; others open onto larger basins. You'll handle your own kayak but guides lead the way and manage the group. Bring water and snacks; lunch isn't included.

Swimming ability is essential. Wear appropriate footwear (sandals, sports shoes or neoprene slippers) and bring sun protection, water, and a towel. Children aged six+ must be accompanied by an adult.
