Salento has the highest concentration of beaches and pristine stretches of coastline. To explore them, the perfect means is the kayak, because its small size allows it to reach places and beaches otherwise unreachable by land or by large motor boats. The perspective from the sea then gives indescribable emotions, difficult to describe or express in words. You just have to try! So what are you waiting for? If you want a unique memory of your tour to Salento, you can’t miss one of our kayak/canoe tours in one of the most beautiful regions of the world!

Polignano
