Itinerary

Porto Selvaggio
30min
We skirt the cliff overlooking the sea surmounted by the splendid Tower of S. Maria dell'Alto. If the sea conditions allow it, we enter the famous Green Cave. We paddle to the bay of Porto Selvaggio and disembark with the kayaks on a rocky beach. We immerse ourselves in the cold waters of the spring and go to dive from the cliff to swim into the Gaia Cave.

BAD WEATHER: in case of bad weather conditions, we reserve the right to cancel the tour up to 1 hour before departure. Communication will take place via email. For this reason, please always check your email inbox for new messages. The whole cost of the tickets will be refund.
PHISICAL REQUIREMENTS: our tours are made to be joined by anyone, especially beginners. The distances are relatively short and no particular skill or strength is required. Nonetheless, good physical shape and a weight strictly less than 100kg are required. The instructor reserves the right to check the weight of the participants and to prevent anyone weighing 100kg or more from starting. No refund is provided in this case.

CHILDREN: the minimum age to join our tours is 6 years. Up to the age of 12, children will have to go in a double kayak together with an accompanying adult. From 12 years up there are no limits. The adult with a child in a double kayak must be in very good physical shape to drive a double kayak (longer and heavier) alone. The cost of the ticket for a child is lower than for an adult. For this reason the instructor reserves the right to check his identity document before departure which the adult is therefore required to bring with him. In the event that an age is different from that declared at the time of booking or is not compatible with participation in the tour, the instructor reserves the right to request an addition to the cost of the ticket or to prevent departure. No refund is provided in the latter case.
WHAT TO BRING: sunscreen, half liter bottled water (to put under the bungee in front of the kayak seat), anti-nausea medicine (to be taken before the trip if you suffer from seasickness)
CLOTHING: swimsuit, T-shirt, water shoes (closed shoes that can get wet as an alternative. Flip-flops are not recommended), hat, sunglasses with safety lanyard
PERSONAL BELONGING: we will keep non-bulky valuables such as wallets, cell phones and car keys. Small bags or backpacks can be stored in the hatches of the kayaks or in the car of the guide. Be careful because in the hatches the backpack could get wet and we are not responsible for any theft of anything stored in the guide’s car.
SEA KAYAKING SKILL: the course for beginners, has the task of making everyone, especially beginners, able to go kayaking with the minimum skill required for carrying out the trip. However, it may happen that, despite the course for beginners and the instructor’s tips given in the water, the minimum skill required for carrying out the tour are not achieved. For example, an insufficiency in balance may occur which causes repeated capsizing or in the execution of the circular stroke to change direction. Unfortunately, in a group experience the instructor in the water cannot dedicate a lot of time to a person who may be in difficulty since during this time the entire group remains without a guide and a longer time could be dangerous for the success of the tour for the entire group. In these cases, at the sole discretion of the instructor in the water, it will not be possible to join the tour and the person will be accompanied to the starting point. A refund of 50% of the ticket cost is expected.

Restrictions & safety

The experience is not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg

PARTICIPANTS MINIMUM NUMBER: if the minimum number of participants is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the trip up to 1 hour before departure. Communication will take place via email. For this reason, please always check your email inbox for new messages. The whole cost of the tickets will be refund.

PICTURES: the guide will take numerous pictures during the kayak tour and participants will receive the link to download them for free via email. It is not recommended to carry your mobile phone with you as it could get damaged or fall into water and furthermore its use represents an unnecessary source of distraction.

KAYAK SINGLE OR DOUBLE: The number of single and double kayaks is limited, it is not possible to choose them in advance. The guide will assign them based on the preferences of the participants and technical evaluations. If you want a double, for example, usually, you can choose it. We have four double kayaks. However, there may be children under 12 in the group who must go in a double kayak accompanied by an adult. Only in that case might they not be enough. But this is quite rare.
