Sea Kayak Jewels of the Mediterranean
Explore the stunning coastlines of Sardinia and Corsica on this unique hotel-based itinerary.
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and although part of Italy, fiercely maintains its own identity. The island’s mountainous interior provides a stunning backdrop to the exquisite coastline and outer islands. Our paddles will be concentrated around two areas; the Gulf of Orosei on the east coast and the Maddalena Islands, a serene place of spectacular beaches.
Although Corsica has been part of France for over 200 years, it has its own distinctive culture, food and traditions. The diversity in scenery is amazing, with beautiful beaches, hilltop villages and historic ports to view from our kayaks. We concentrate our paddles near Bonifacio and in Santa Manza Bay, a remarkable coastline of chalky cliffs and azure waters.
During our Mediterranean journey, we’ll stay in small hotels or farmhouses each evening and enjoy dinner locally, sampling the regional wines and reliving the day’s activities. We complement our paddling exploration with hikes through local vineyards, rugged hinterland, olive groves and colourful fishing villages.
