Sea kayaking along Karaburun: caves and coves reachable only by paddling
Karaburun's northern coast seen from sea level: you paddle under white rock walls, enter small caves where boats can't pass and stop in coves where nobody else arrives. The slowest and most intimate way to see the marine park.
Direct booking with local operators: no hidden fees, free cancellation up to 48h before.

SeasonJune-September
You set off from the Radhimë-Orikum bay with single or double kayaks, in small guided groups. The pace is relaxed (8-10 km in 6 hours with 3 long stops), but a minimum fitness is needed: if you've never paddled at sea, the lagoon tour is the right entry.
Stops include snorkeling over the posidonia meadows and packed lunch in a cove (provided by us: bread, local cheese, fruit, water). The return is early afternoon, before the north-westerly rises.

Who it's for (and who it's not)
Active and curious people from 14 years up, with minimum fitness. No sea experience needed, but if it's your very first time on a kayak, the lagoon is better.
Weather & cancellation
The sea decides: with north-westerly over 10 knots the tour moves. We warn you the evening before; full refund if no alternative date works.
Frequently asked questions
Single or double kayak?
Double if you want to share the effort (and take photos while the other paddles), single for autonomy. Decided on the morning itself.
Do kayaks enter the Blue Cave?
No: the cave is on the peninsula's west side, too exposed and far for kayaks. This tour covers the north coast: other caves, smaller but all yours.
