☀️ A kayaking adventure for everyone
Whether you're a beginner or a regular paddler, simple sea kayaking is an excellent way to enjoy the coast at your own pace.
Over the course of 3 hours, you'll have time to discover several coves, take a swim break, and enjoy the calm of the sea.
The activity is available all year round, subject to favorable weather conditions.
⚠️ Check the wind forecast before setting out, especially via Windguru. Wind is an essential factor in ensuring your safety and comfort at sea.
🧭 Half day or full day?
Are you hesitating between the two formats?
The half-day trip is perfect for a first experience of kayaking on its own: it allows you to discover nearby sites such as Île Verte and the Mugel or Figuerolles creeks, without any constraints.
But if you want to take your time, go further afield, visit the creeks on foot or enjoy a wild picnic, the full day trip may be worth the detour.
