Step by Step
Experience the most popular experience of the Salento coastline with this unforgettable kayak tour of Porto Selvaggio, a natural jewel in the Apulia region. This three-hour tour is perfect for those who want to combine nature, adventure and sport without any previous experience.
Starting from the coast of Nardò, you will sail along impressive cliffs dominated by the tower of S. Maria dell'Alto, a medieval fortress set into the rock. Conditions permitting, you will also access the magical Grotta Verde, a sea grotto where the light creates unique reflections on the rocky walls.
After paddling into the bay, you will disembark for a kayak baptism: a dip in the cold spring water that gushes from underground. Afterwards, you'll walk along a small path through the Mediterranean pines before launching yourself from the cliffs near Grotta Gaia for a swim and enjoy the clear waters.
Before you start, your guide will give you a short training on how to handle the kayak. During the tour, he will take photos that you will receive free of charge by email, so you can keep your memories without worrying about carrying your mobile phone.
This activity in a small group guarantees a close and safe experience, perfect for couples, families with children from 6 years old or solo travellers with an adventurous spirit. Without a doubt, it is one of the most special ways to discover the coast of southern Italy.
