Description
With family or friends, glide from the turquoise waters of the Pianatrella lagoon to the lovers' cave. Disembark on the island of Piana and swim in the heart of the Bonifacio nature reserve
Enjoy an unforgettable sea kayaking experience with your kids or friends!
A local guide will meet you on Piantarella Beach and introduce you to the basics of sea kayaking. After a brief safety briefing and the delivery of the equipment, you'll set off to explore the calm and clear waters of Corsica, as well as an exceptional environment.
Glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean-style lagoon and admire the panoramic views of the Lavezzi Islands archipelago in the distance.
Your guide will show you the contours of the island of Piana, where hundreds of seabirds nest, arousing your curiosity by placing a sea urchin in the palm of your hand while sharing anecdotes about the region and their knowledge of local species.
The highlight of the trip is exploring the lovers' cave, where you'll discover a secret beach, perfect for a refreshing swim or a snorkeling session to observe the incredible wildlife of the marine park.
Get back in your kayaks for more shades of blue, follow the guide through unique paths along the first limestone cliffs, and arrive gently on the white sand of the Sperone beaches. It's time to grab a snack and take another dip before heading back through the turquoise waters to the starting point.
The experience lasts about 2.5 hours, including 1.5 hours of kayaking and up to an hour of breaks and swimming. Your excursion ends on Piantarella beach, where you'll return your equipment and can relax or continue to explore the surroundings at your leisure.
