Departing from Sanary-sur-Mer, Sanary Aventure Marine takes groups of up to 12 passengers out on rigid inflatable boats to observe Mediterranean marine mammals.
Which trip should you choose to see dolphins?
The classic outing lasts around three hours and looks for dolphins and whales offshore. In 2026, prices start at €85 per person. A longer 5½-hour option, starting at €155, also includes listening to underwater sounds through a hydrophone.
As with all wild animals, sightings can never be guaranteed: the crew searches for wildlife but cannot predict where it will appear.
Other trips from Sanary
The company also offers excursions to the calanques of Cassis and Marseille, trips around the Var's coastal inlets, sunset trips with swimming and an aperitif, and fireworks cruises.
The main season runs from May to October. The small size of the boats is the real advantage: rather than joining a large sightseeing vessel, you travel in a limited group and can enjoy both the journey and the wildlife watching.
