      Hard work but well worth it, as great morning!

      Rachel_W, Sep 2025
      My son and I enjoyed this kayaking trip. Rokamel was easy to find and we were greeted by a man and a teenager, both who spoke good English as well as French, German (and Italian, of course!). We were given a briefing and kitted with life jackets and paddles, then we set off. The sea was much harder to kayak in than the lakes we had recently done, so both my son and I did feel a bit concerned at how we would manage 3 hours, but the trip was broken up into sections, which made it easier. We visited a little sandy cavern where the top had fallen in decades before, leaving it open roofed. We then went towards the Cave of Poetry, but this is sadly now closed to visitors due to erosion, so we could not enter. We did enter a couple of other caves though, one by boat and one by swimming, which was fun. We had a nice group, mostly French, about 9 of us in total. When I swam and my son didn't wish to, the teenager (Aghasto, I think?), stayed with my son and I could see them chatting away, which was lovely. I would definitely recommend this trip, it was a good morning, worked off some Italian food and enjoyed the scenery.

      Esperienza meravigliosa alla scoperta di posti unici che non avremmo mai potuto visitare da soli! Tre ore di attività, tra calette, grotte e stupore continuo. Grazie a Piergiorgio, per la simpatia, la disponibilità e soprattutto per averci guidato e raccontato l’affascinante storia di questi luoghi belli e antichi. Assolutamente consigliato!!
