7 days exploring the iconic sites of Corsica’s west coast, combining sea kayaking adventures with comfortable nights in hotels and guesthouses.

 

Set off on an unforgettable adventure through some of the most beautiful landscapes along Corsica’s west coast! From the Gulf of Valinco, with the wild coves of Campomoro and Cap de Senetosa, to the spectacular cliffs of the Calanques de Piana, the village of Girolata and the Scandola Nature Reserve, this sea kayaking journey invites you to discover an unspoilt coastline and explore some of the island’s most iconic sites up close.

Taking place outside the peak summer season, this trip offers the chance to discover a quieter, more secluded side of Corsica, away from the summer crowds, and fully appreciate the beauty of its pristine coastline and remarkable landscapes.

Over 7 days, let the rhythm of the sea guide you as you enjoy the freedom of travelling by kayak, while benefiting from comfortable nights in hotels and guesthouses. A unique experience combining adventure, a change of scenery and the relaxed Mediterranean way of life.

Information
Equipments

Equipment provided:

 

Regulation sea kayak, approved buoyancy aid, spray deck, paddle, plastic waterproof bags, stoves, tarp in case of rain.

 

The kayaks we use are single and double kayaks in which all belongings are loaded in order to navigate in complete autonomy.

 

It is also recommended to bring waterproof bags suitable for your equipment (electronics, clothing and sleeping gear), as well as plastic bags (we provide waterproof bags for your equipment, but a «tear» can always happen, so plastic bags are an extra protection).

 

Although the kayak compartments are large, only take what is strictly necessary as loading them will remain a game of optimisation.


Narrow or soft items (clothing, sleeping bag and mattress) will be placed in the ends of the boats (front and rear tips), while heavy and dense objects (canned food, water) against the cockpit bulkheads.

We also have a luggage storage facility where we can keep items you do not take on the stay. Therefore bring a bag for this purpose, on which your name and the name of the stay will be noted.

Restauration

Breakfasts and dinners are served at your various accommodations, with the exception of dinner at Senetosa Lighthouse, which is prepared collectively by the group using fresh ingredients. The following morning, a continental breakfast is provided at the refuge.

 

Lunches are prepared together on the beach and consist of cold picnic-style meals. Throughout the trip, we prioritise varied meals featuring fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as local produce.

Guidance

You will be accompanied by one of our state-certified professionals. True modern adventurers, your guide will be able to make you experience adventure through their passions: kayak, sea, fauna, flora, geology… and of course Corsican heritage.

The sea

We are on the West coast which is regularly exposed to winds. As the sea is calm in the morning, most of the navigation will take place at that time, before the thermal breeze of the afternoon animates the Mediterranean.

 

Programmes are given as a guide. Unforeseen events are always possible and situations beyond our control may modify the course of events (sea conditions, weather, group level, health of participants…). The safety of the group remaining our priority, our guides may be led to modify the itinerary.
