What to expect
You'll start with a safety rundown and paddling basics on calm water before heading out along the coast. The route follows the shoreline, stopping regularly so you can recover, swim if you fancy it, and take photographs. You'll slip into caves where sunlight filters through the rock, paddle past vertical cliff faces, and discover small beaches accessible only by boat. The guide reads conditions and adjusts the route to match your group's comfort level—expect a leisurely pace with plenty of time to simply float and absorb the Mediterranean light.
