PRACTICAL INFO
Sea Kayak Trips

Requirements:

Our kayak trips (2, 4, or 6 days) are designed for sea and adventure lovers 🌊

Good overall health, the ability to swim, and a fitness level suitable for paddling 6 to 12 NM per day are required — all while immersed in stunning scenery. Some experience with sea kayaking (sit-inside) or participation in a basic course is recommended, to enjoy the journey more safely and confidently. The difficulty level depends not only on distance (measured in nautical miles), but also on elements that make each tour unique: coastal morphology, logistics, and weather conditions, which vary by season. Tours are group-based, with departure and return from Vulcano. The itinerary and daily stops may be adjusted along the way to ensure the best possible experience, based on weather and ferry schedules. 👧 Children from age 10 are welcome if accompanied, and only in double kayaks.
