The
itinerary below is only one example of what we offer. Due to varying
weather and ocean conditions, we'll have to make the final decision
just the days before or even on the day of the tour.
Itinerary
On
our expeditions we paddle partly on the open ocean. Hence, the
expeditions are for experienced kayakers only. You should have an
adequate experience in kayaking on open ocean and a good fitness
level.
The
itinerary below is an example of a 7 days expedition.

west of Sa’anapu. The last day of our tour is a little shorter than
the other days but most of you will appreciate that after 7 days in
the kayak.

most interesting places.
Other
itineraries are available and may be considered as more feasible
alternatives depending on weather conditions and the availability of
accommodation.
