Week-end round the Island of Elba in Sea Kayak . |  | Paddling Round west coast of Elba.The weekend in sea kayak is a vacation ideal sport for the one who a whole available week doesn't have for making the complete turn of the island. A trip in Kayak accompanied by an experienced guide that will make you know the wonder of one of the most enchanting lines of coast of the island in Elba. | | |  | Elba with its 147 km of exceptionally varied coast, rich in grottos and stupendous coves, is an ideal place for sea Kayaks. As we paddle round west coast, because sea kayaks are easily manageable and can go in low water, we will enter secluded bays The sea kayak is a type of closed canoe, which is fast and stable, it was developed for long trips in the sea. During our silent navigation, we’ll get near to seagulls, cormorants and “marangoni” (a local variety of cormorant) and more rarely we’ll observe shoals of tuna and whales. It isn’t necessary to be an athlete to take part in the trip, it is however fundamental to have group spirit and the ability to adapt, respect nature and have a love of the sea. | | 2011 dates: | 12/15 may 2011

What to bring: the minimum that is necessary: every participant will be given two 18 litre waterproof bags for their luggage (which fit in the kayak’s holds). A torch (a head torch is fine), a pair of sandals or trainers, high protection sun cream, hat or headscarf, sunglasses, swimwear, a couple of t-shirts, a sweatshirt for the evening, the minimum necessities for personal hygiene. If you bring your own sleeping bag, it mustn’t be bulky, a lightweight summer sleeping bag is more than sufficient.
Cycling gloves are a good idea to avoid problems of blisters on hands. Goggles and flippers stay outside the watertight bags, as does the bottles of water. We supply special watertight containers for cameras and video equipment but there is a risk when opening them up to use the equipment. However, if you don’t want to risk using this equipment from the kayak you can take beautiful photos during the stops. For practical and conservation reasons food will be bought on a day to day basis during the stops in tourist spots. |
