We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good introduction to the Camargue. Our guide Flavio was excellent. He was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learnt a lot about the area in our four hour long trip.

Camargue Tour learning about the animals and whetland management
Renate_J, May 2024
Flávio, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the area, animals and history. Learned a lot about bulls and the history/custom off bull fighting. We enjoyed the tour. Flavio is an outstanding tour guide, and we would recommend this tour to anyone. Considering I am against cruelty to animals, I would love to see the population of So. France to consider some entertainment other than watching the killing of an animal, regardless of the „art“ and tradition of bull fighting. I realize not all bulls are killed, and am grateful for that.
great tour

Perhaps too much driving and not enough time to enjoy
Jacqueline_T, Mar 2024
We learned a great deal about the region, the agriculture and the horse/bull industry. In the end, I would have preferred to cover less territory and have more time to enjoy interesting settings. It would have been nice to access a point where the flamingos were closer to shore. Years ago I visited smaller swamps and it was wonderful.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We are sorry that this tour did not meet all your expectations. fortunately the guide was generous in his comments to help you appreciate our territory but nature perhaps did not want to show itself at its best; these are the vagaries of nature. We look forward to seeing you again one day on our paths.
Enjoyable tour
Tess_N, Oct 2023
I enjoyed the tour even though it wasn't what I expected. I thought there'd be some real 4x4 tracks and that we would see wild, not farmed, animals. That was probably ignorance on my part. I nevertheless learnt a lot about rice production and the bull industry. And we did see flamingos at three locations, which was the highlight for me. Olivier the tour guide is clearly passionate about this land and it was a pleasure to spend a morning learning new things.
A new experience for some Australians
Helen_J, Oct 2023
Our Tour guide had endless knowledge of our planned trip. He was excellent. Jeep was a bit tricky with in and out manoeuvres for we old girls to manage but it was ok. We loved learning about the beautiful Camarge Horses, the bulls but my favourite was seeing the flamingos. In all it was excellent day. Thank you Flavio
It was a great Tour. Very...

It was a great Tour. Very intresting. Jean Michel is a Super Guide. We Had fun and become many informations Peter & Kathrin (Katarina)
Disappointing.
William_C, Sep 2023
We knew this was a jeep safari. But the seats were very uncomfortable and the jeep was crowded. I had expected to see wild horse and bulls. The only ones we saw were on farms. We did see some wild flamingos, but they were at least 200 yds. away, not nearly close enough for any decent photos. Driver could have chosen to get us closer, but she didn’t do that. Would not recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Indeed, they are Jeeps and we go on the paths, which are sometimes bumpy, in order to get as close as possible to the wildlife. In summer the Flamingos are further away because there is less water in the ponds. It is also for this reason that your guide did not want to cross the dry ponds on the one hand so as not to disturb the birds and on the other hand not to distort the Camargue. Often the ponds hide muddy parts in which the vehicle can get stuck, and we remind you that we are within the Regional Natural Park. The Camargue remains a fragile territory where man despite everything has his impact, we regret that you have not understood this.
Carmague experience
BrownlieL, Sep 2023
A very enjoyable afternoon with a young enthusiastic guide. We not only saw bulls, Carmargue horses, flamingoes but also a black stork and a black kite.
Excellent adventure
Michelle_M, Sep 2023

Fabulous trip
Jean_B, Sep 2023
Fabulous day out. Very informative guide. Beautiful weather. Gorgeous coffee stop at St Marie de la mere. Up close and personal to horses of the Camargue. One of the best trips I had in provence.
Brilliant Trip with English speaking guide

Regretted this one
Thomas_H, Sep 2023
Sadly, through no fault of the operator, this was not the tour for us! The area was not interesting or scenic. It was hot, long and boring. Unless you have never seen a bull, cow or horse in a pasture on a farm, it offered little. Make sure it’s what you want. Again, no fault of the tour company.
Unacceptable business pratice
Geoffrey_N, Sep 2023
The trip was cancelled by the company with less than 24 hours notice. I have not received a full refund. I am waiting for Viator to confirm full refund.
Somewhat boring
Steven_C, Sep 2023
Nothing memorable springs to mind. It was interesting to learn something about the Camargue, but calling horses and bulls in paddocks a safari is stretching the definition of the word! The guide however was lovely and very bubbly!
Beautiful Camargue Safari
Malcolm_E, Aug 2023
Fantastic trip and our guide, Jean, was superb. Lots of interesting information and plenty of time for questions and taking photos. Couldn’t recommend this trip more highly
