Full description
Immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful bays in Sicily and in the whole of Italy: the bay of Taormina and Giardini Naxos is ready to amaze you during a two-hour guided kayak tour to discover its most iconic sites.
Paddling through the calm, crystal-clear waters of the coastal inlet, you will reach azure-water sea caves, hidden coves, multi-shaped rocks and stacks, and other places inaccessible from land.
Prepare to experience the sea from a new perspective, to admire the beautiful marine environment and coastal landscape, withMount Etna towering in the background.
What we will do
We will meet the instructor in Giardini Naxos (ME) and together with him we will begin our preparation for the guided kayak tour. After putting on our life jackets, we will strap on the paddle and learn basic navigation techniques in order to carry out the activity in an enjoyable and safe manner.
When we are ready, we will start sailing off the bay of Naxos and in about 20 minutes we will reach the Lovers' Cave, accessing its interior to admire the water that is coloured with intense reflections and perhaps exchange a promise of love!
We will then continue paddling towards Capo Taormina, visiting another sea cave along the way. Finally, we will enter the Isola Bella Marine Park, a pretty rocky islet connected to the mainland by a tongue of sand. We will delight our eyes with this picture-postcard view and our ears by listening to stories and curiosities of the area narrated by our guide.
The activity lasts about 2 hours for a total distance of about 6 km (depending on the level of participants, the itinerary may be lengthened or shortened).
