ITINERARY FOR PADDLING DAYS

Experience the varied coastline of Corsica with a series of 6 day trips and with returning to basecamp each evening to the comfort and convenience of the bungalows. Every day, different trip is guaranteed, with 9 routes to choose from,  with each one offering something different. 

 

We start the morning with a meeting in a cafe at 8am for breakfast and to make a plan for the day. Trips are planned on day-to-day basis, taking into account the wind direction as well as the experience of the group.  Departure is at 9.30am and return at approximately 5.00 pm. Each day will involve 3-4 hours of paddling with 2 generous stops allowing plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling, relaxing and lunch.

 

In the evenings, after hot shower, enjoy a traditional aperitif with Corsican cheese, local ‘charcuterie’, fresh bread and french wine! Together we prepare the lunch (salads) and the hot meal for dinner. The menu of the week is available upon request. We can adjust it to your specific diet or allergies, just let us know.

Both, double and single kayaks are available. We recommend double kayaks for paddlers with minimal or no kayaking experience.  Double kayaks are useful for matching up paddlers of different strengths and are great advantage on windy days as they offer increased efficiency and stability.
Paddlers with kayaking experience are welcome to choose from our variety of single kayaks. See our equipment page for a full list of available models.
Your safety is our priority.  Jeremy is experienced and qualified to lead groups in open sea conditions. He knows how to keep you safe, handle any emergencies and make your experience enjoyable.  Before launching you will be briefed and given safety instruction. We will not begin our journey until everyone has good understanding of how to handle a kayak and what to expect once underway.
Most certainly. Anyone with at least moderate fitness can participate. Once on the beach and properly fitted into your kayak, you will be given full safety briefing and basic introduction to paddling techniques. On the water we paddle as a group. You will learn to paddle by doing so.  Coaching tips will be provided, as required. We will kayak for no more than one hour at a relaxed pace before making our first stop, where you can relax and swim. After another hour of paddling we will stop for a generous lunch break, then another hour of paddling to finish at around 5.30 pm.
Yes. As an experienced paddler you will be free to roam, while the less-experienced are kept in closer check. A typical day trip involves generous breaks where some may like to swim and relax, while others may prefer to practise their kayaking skills. Jeremy has a special way to teach rolling or other advanced sea kayaking skills. There is always the option to paddle a little further or faster. 
A moderate level of fitness is required. Distances paddled each day will range from 12 to 18 km, or about 3-4 hours paddling, with two beach breaks and several rest periods in the kayaks. A good level of physical fitness will allow you to enjoy the trip much more. In addition, windy and/or rough conditions may require a prolonged period of physical exertion. A little stamina and a good attitude are essential in such conditions!
Strong wind can occur at any time of the year.  When it is windy, we always plan trips on the sheltered side of the island.  Once per month, on average, it is too windy to run a trip.  In this case you have the option to reschedule for the following days or cancel for free.
