Highlights
- Porto Selvaggio - After wearing the life jackets and adjusted the footrests of our kayaks, we will be ready to set off to the north skirting the beautiful S. Maria dell’Alto Tower. For those who have never been on a kayak, there will be a brief introductory lesson on navigation and safety at sea. The route will take us along a rocky coast full of caves and ravines. If the sea allows us, we will enter the wonderful Green Lagoon cave! We will enter the Porto Selvaggio Bay and stop on the beach at the bottom of the bay. Here you can snorkel, immerse yourself in the cold waters of the spring and take photos. It will then follow the return to the base by taking a route that will show us everything that has been left out on the way.
What's Included
- Sea kayak course for beginners
- Photo Shoot: photos will be sent via email
- Paddle and life jacket
- kayak single or double
Additional Information
The Porto Selvaggio kayak trip is our most popular trip, suitable for those who have never paddled. Included in the price is the SEA KAYAK COURSE FOR BEGINNERS guided by a 2nd level sea kayak instructor of the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation. Along the way we will show you hidden caves and crevices, all to explore! We will pass under the Tower of S. Maria dell’Alto, along one of the highest coastal stretches in this area. Here are the most beautiful caves of the route. This trip is an exceptionally exciting and memorable trip down the coast which allows you to experience the transparent waters of the beach at the end of Porto Selvaggio Bay. You can also take a walk in the pine forest to shelter from the heat, take pictures and immerse yourself in the cold waters of the spring. During the kayak trip, if the sea allows it, we will enter the beautiful Green Cave!
N.B.
The experience is not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg
- Bring watershoes (gym shoes as an alternative)
- Bring only not too big bags. I will keep non-bulky valuables such as cell phones and car keys while the small bag or backpack can be stored in the hatches of the kayaks or in the trunk of the trailer. Be careful because in the hatches the backpack could get damp or wet and the trunk of the trailer is not guarded.
- Not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg

Unforgettable - Fantastic experience! With a kayak you can see the beauties of Salento from another point of view. Marco, the instructor, very knowledgeable in teaching the essential basics of this discipline, stood out during the excursion for his friendliness and his skill in knowing how to form a group.

Magnificent experience!!! - For my first time on a kayak, the excellent organization and effective explanation of how to govern the kayak made it possible to share the experience with my 7 year old granddaughter.
The landscape is enchanting!!!
Thanks Marco!!!

Beautiful experience!!! - The experience and competence of Marco, the organizer of the excursion, is of a high standard.
We were almost all beginners in the group, but in a short time between theory and practice we found ourselves immersed in a wonderful experience!!! We took a tour around the cliff and I assure you that seeing certain views while paddling on the kayak is a whole different story! We also visited caves with emerald green water, we stopped in a cove with cold spring water.
In all of this, the smile and willingness of our companion to immortalize these moments was never lacking.
I highly recommend having this experience, as far as I'm concerned I will certainly do it again by choosing another of the many itineraries that the organization offers with such dedication and professionalism.

Top experience - We had a fantastic morning. Marco is very nice and the experience is absolutely within reach even for those who, like us, had never been in a kayak. Breathtaking view and swimming in Porto Selvaggio is unmissable.
Highly recommended!

Highly recommended experience - Highly recommended experience, we went today with our 9 year old daughter who had a great time.
Well organized tour, starting with a short but effective lesson on how to "steer" the kayak and then off into the sea along the coast with short stops for a small explanation on the wonders we were lucky enough to admire. Arrival in Porto Selvaggio with the beautiful idea of "baptism" in fresh/cold spring water, swimming and group photos, then off for the return journey, now very expert in kayaking.
Well done instructor Marco, you accomplished a miracle!!!
To repeat!

Beautiful experience - It's the first time we've booked a kayak tour where it says "initial preparation course" and the course actually takes place! Marco was exhaustive and very clear in explaining how to use the kayak and the tour and swim in Porto Selvado were very beautiful. We highly recommend it!

Great kayaking experience! - Kayaking with Marco (and Massimo) was great!! Clear and professional instructions before going into the water. The tour was beautiful and we went into several caves. Cliff jump and cold water spring were amazing added benefits. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone that likes active water experiences.

An amazing experience! - We had a great day kayaking along the coast with Marco. It was a great experience and he patiently showed us how to operate a kayak and how to correctly use the paddles.
I definitely recommend the experience!

Kayak on the horizon - The trip is relaxing and interesting. Suitable for couples and friends. The guide gave clear instructions on how to sail a kayak. We admired the sunset and beach from the water while driving our kayak.
