Full description
An experience combining kayaking and snorkelling will be the perfect opportunity to discover what lies above and below the surface of the crystal-clear waters of the Tigullio Gulf.
All you have to do is reach Riva Trigoso, on the Ligurian coast, and climb aboard a comfortable kayak: the green and majestic promontory of Punta Manara is waiting for you to experience extraordinary moments together.
In a 2½-hour tour you will learn to paddle through the waves of the sea before beginning an exciting observation of the seabed, among fish and underwater vegetation. So, are you with us?
What we will do
We will meet at the time selected during the booking process in Riva Trigoso, a small hamlet of Sestri Levante (GE).
We will begin with a short technical and cognitive briefing, during which you will also be given information about the underwater plants of this stretch of the Ligurian coast, which is particularly rich in posidonia.
You will learn a few tricks for using the kayak and paddles effectively, and you will be shown the one-sided masks to use during snorkelling. After putting on your snorkelling shoes and lifejacket, you will store your personal belongings inside a floating, fully waterproof bag to carry on board.
You are then ready to paddle on the Ligurian waters: your guide will show you Punta Manara, a green landscape area located halfway between Riva Trigoso and Sestri Levante. After a short break on the pebbles of a charming cove, it will be time to put on your masks and set off to discover the seabed.
During the underwater journey, you will even be able to talk to the other participants thanks to the walkie talkie system with which the masks are equipped, to share thoughts and possible sightings.
A little later you will finally return, between one paddle and another, to your starting point on the beach at Riva Trigoso. The activity lasts a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is suitable for everyone from 6 years old and up, but knowing how to swim is required.
The minimum age required to paddle independently is 14 years old. Younger children(6 to 13 years old) can paddle without paddling in a double kayak with an adult, but can then participate in the snorkelling activity.
