Kayak excursion to the island of Elba from Capoliveri

With the kayak excursion to Elba Island from Capoliveri, you will have a choice of three different tours to two different locations. 

This year we moved to a perfect place to combine wilderness, tranquility but also services.

You will find us a stone's throw from Lacona in the uncrowded Margidore beach, an ideal place for coastal explorations to Capo Stella or to Acquarilli and Norsi.

Departure from Pareti beach: here the coast becomes even wilder and in a short time you can reach the Gemini islands, the sea ox cave immediately after the beach of’Innamorata and the areas related to the mining activity of Mount Calamita

Kayaking & Snorkeling 

After a brief explanation on how to handle kayaks, you will follow the guide to the perfect snorkeling bay: a small inlet protected from currents, surrounded by rocks that make the water even clearer. A wide range of shy but fascinating underwater creatures awaits you!

.

Kayak Tour

You can begin your kayak excursion starting from the quiet beach of Margidore just a stone's throw from Lacona.  You will discover enchanting beaches and steep cliffs in both directions. To the west there'è the wild Capo Stella peninsula, to the east colorful cliffs and the beaches of Acquarilli and Norsi. 

If you opt to depart from Pareti Beach, you can discover the even wilder coastline and reach the Gemini Islands, Sea Ox Cave and areas related to the mining activity of Mount Calamita. This easy kayak excursion è suitable for everyone, even beginners, and you will be accompanied by an environmental guide and park guide. 

Aperi-Kayak

You will enjoy a unique experience, combining sea, sport and relaxation, while sipping delicious Elban wine. And if you like zero-kilometer sheep cheese, you can even enjoy it!
