Amazing experience! This was my first time kayaking, especially in the sea, and I loved every moment. The instructor Giuseppe was great and patient with beginners (like me) and encouraging throughout the entire excursion. The sea was beautiful, a color blue I've never seen before. The small beaches we visited were lovely and we were given time to swim and snorkel at these beach breaks. I highly recommend this excursion and visiting Elba Island!

Fantastic day. My wife and I are in decent shape with no kayak experience and never felt overwhelmed. Alex our guide was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend

A lovely day!

Best part of our Elba trip

This is the best way to experience the beaches in Elba! Dario was our guide and he was fun, very friendly and super knowledgeable about the biology and environment of Elba. The beaches we went to were either private or almost private as they were only reachable by boat. Would recommend to anyone going to Elba!

Durchschnittliche Paddeltour an der Küste von Elba

Una_S, Sep 2023

Wir haben die Tour gebucht um Strände zu erreichen, die sonst nur mit Auto oder zu Fuß erreichbar sind und wurden enttäuscht, da wir zwei, nicht einmal besonders schöne Strände mit viel Publikum angefahren sind. Schade, von uns gibt es deshalb keine Empfehlung. Tourguide und Ausrüstung waren okay.
