Full description
Have you ever paddled among legends?
Join us for a guided kayak tour in Santa Maria di Leuca and be enchanted by turquoise waters, rock formations sculpted by time, and scenery that seems straight out of an ancient myth.
Adventure awaits... are you ready to experience it?
What we will do
The meeting point is Marina di Felloniche (LE), at the time selected when booking. On arrival, the guide will welcome us and give a briefing on paddling techniques and safety rules. After settling into our kayaks, we will set off on our adventure!
Paddling south along an approximately 7 km route, we will discover some of the hidden gems of the Santa Maria di Leuca coastline. We will admire the spectacular Grotta del Drago (Dragon's Cave), the Grotta degli Innamorati (Lovers' Cave) and the suggestive Grotta del Presepe (Crib Cave). We will also pass by the historic Torre Marchello, an ancient watchtower overlooking the sea.
We will continue the tour exploring the Grotta della Stalla, the majestic Grotta delle Tre Porte and the Grotta del Maestro Gianni, until we reach the legendary Baia delle Sirene and the mysterious Grotta del Diavolo. Finally, we will push on to Punta Ristola, the most extreme point of the heel of Italy.
We will make a stop at the Grotta del Fiume, a hidden corner of extraordinary beauty, where we can relax and refresh ourselves with a regenerating bath before heading back.
The experience lasts a total of about three hours.
