Looking for an unforgettable kayak tour? Embark on an adventure to discover the legendary island of Cavallo.
Your experienced guide will be waiting for you at Piantarella Beach. After you’ve got your gear on and received a short safety briefing, you’ll be ready for an unforgettable excursion.
Glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Piantarella lagoon and head for the first islets: Piana, with its seabirds, and Ratino, with its lucky charms in the form of seashells.
Your guide will describe each protected species in the nature reserve, while encouraging you to enjoy the fun of splashing around in your kayak.
Paddle across the shallows between the islands, where a multitude of fish will swim beneath your kayak. Your destination is getting closer.
The highlight of the tour is when Cavallo Island appears before your eyes. You’ll take your first break at a secluded cove; you’re at the end of the world, and it’s time to enjoy an incredible swim.
Return to your kayaks and weave your way between the granite boulders shaped like strange animals—let the game of spotting similarities begin!
Your guide will amaze you with the rich legends of this extraordinary, multifaceted place, a juxtaposition of billionaire mansions and breathtaking wilderness. Engage all your senses—native flowers, Mediterranean shearwaters, and even oblates and lizards are watching you.
After a few strokes of the paddle, you will disembark at Cala di Greco, renowned as the most beautiful beach on Cavallo, with its pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and tranquility far from the hustle and bustle.
Enjoy your picnic while sharing your emotions, with or without words. You won’t be able to resist diving underwater to discover the fantastic world of the nature reserve, a still-protected marine environment where the seabed is pristine—truly a natural aquarium.
On your way back, you’ll enjoy views of the Lavezzi Islands archipelago and take one last break in the middle of the Piantarella sandbank, where you can walk on the water to unwind. Once you reach Piantarella Beach, you can still explore the surrounding area and leave with your mind filled with unforgettable images.
