the seakayak company in corsica and beyond

NATURE KAYAK was founded by Jeremy Saadaoui in 2024 after more than a decade of guiding around the world. The island of Corsica provides the perfect location offering everything Jeremy loves about sea kayaking.

JEREMY SAADAOUI :

Jeremy grew up in France, in the countryside near Toulouse. After graduating from school, he worked for three years as an Environmentalist in France. In 2011, he went to Greece to work at the sea turtles rescue centre in Athens. Jeremy fell in love with Greece and spent the following five years as a Sea kayak Guide leading groups in the Aegean sea. From April until October he led day trips and expedition. Jeremy still returns to Greece, once a year, to share his experience, local knowledge and love for a particular island called Milos as part of a Seakyak Greece team (more info here : https://www.seakayakgreece.com/about-us/)

 

In 2016 Jeremy started guiding in the chilean Patagonia in the national park. He had worked for three season as a seakayak expedition guide for local company based in Puerto Natales (more info here : https://kayakenpatagonia.com/site/kayak-en-patagonia/). Jeremy still returns to Patagonia as an instructor share his kayaking experiences of guiding in the wilderness and crazy weather of Patagonia with aspirant guides and to run seakayak leader course. 

 

Since 2018, Jeremy has settled in Corsica, where his son (now six years old) was born, and where he fell in love with amazing coastline  and fascinating geology which makes it a world class seakayaking spot. Jeremy has been working guiding expeditions and day trips for local company (more info here :https://www.kayak-corse.fr/#imgOverlay).
