Night paddling is a unique way to experience the nature of the Sorrento Peninsula. The tour starts from marina del Cantone setting route for the Bay of Ieranto in the last hours of daylight, along this course you can admire the spectacular landscape of the Amalfi coast. While the kayaks approach the Fjord of Crapolla, we’ll visit the cave of Recommone and the Isca Island with the amazing lights of the late afternoon. Once in the Fjord, the tour pauses with a break on the beach, and start a few minutes walk to the abbazia of San Pietro to have a nice landscape view over the Amalfi Coast.  As we go back on the beach it is possible to make a snorkeling tour before having a dinner with local food and wine. After dark, we get back in kayak to return to Marina del Cantone, but this time submerged in a totally different landscape, where water becomes oil flat, stars and moon shine and reflect over the water. During the summer months, as our paddle moves the water, it is possible to observe the amazing planktonic bio fluorescence, a natural phenomenon as interesting as beautiful.

 

 

Recommended things to bring: Spare jumper/clothings, water, beachtowel, hat and headlamp (we will provide the signalling lights for safety purposes, but the headlamps can be useful, not only while in kayak)
