Sea Kayaking

There is no better way to get around in Saint Anna than sea kayaking. You are right there, on sea level, experiencing nature and wildlife up-close and so much of it. You can go wherever you like, through narrow passages and over shallow waters, or across deep straights and far out to sea. Paddling gives you an amazing sense of freedom and it is a very easy way of getting around in the outdoors. You do not have to be very fit or minimize your packing as with hiking or cycling.  Our kayaks fit a lot of gear so you can bring nice food, beers and a comfy air mattress for a wild and exhausting, but also luxurious and relaxing adventure.



Paddling conditions in Saint Anna are relatively easy. It is more similar to paddling on a large lake than the open sea. There are no tides, currents or swells to worry about and the islands break up wind and waves. It can however get very windy and choppy at times, especially in July-August, so do not expect mirror-calm waters all the time. But you usually have islands close by and you always have the option to stay put while waiting for calmer weather. We give you a cell phone and the whole area has reception. We send you a weather report every morning, so that you can plan your route for the day.

We use stable double kayaks for all beginners and intermediates. They are almost impossible to roll over, but they are still fast to paddle.  They are perfectly suited for covering vast distances, carrying a lot of gear and keeping to your course.  We provide single kayaks strictly for experienced kayakers, since they can roll over and fit less gear.

Navigation is a pretty big part of your paddling. It can be tricky to find your way among thousands of islands that pretty much all look the same from a distance. We will teach you how to do it and you just have to be a bit attentive out there and you will be fine.

 


 

 


 
 


"Sea kayaking in Saint Anna was an adventure in every sence of the word rather than following the same old beaten tourist trail. The landscape was incredible and not having a guide made it lots more fun! It was one of the best travel-
ling experiences I've had!"
