Great Excursion - Our family of 5 had a great time kayaking. The guide took his time to demonstrate how to properly paddle and we were able to choose tandem or individual. We paddled at an easy pace for young and old.

My best experience in Genova - It was an exceptional experience! The guide, Giuliano, was very amiable and helpful for everything. He taught me some techniques for Kayaking. He has excellent knowledge of local history. His narration of local history during the paddling was an unexpected surprise. Although I knew Genova, kayaking though the coast has given me a different perspective. Overall, this experience was extraordinary.

Unforgettable experience - It has been the highlight of my holiday in Liguria: paddling, seeing jumping fish while paddling, enjoying an amazing home-made lunch on a rock which can be reached only from the sea. The guide is a great kayak teacher, can tell you a lot about the landscape and organized every detail to the absolute perfection. My friends and I had the time of our lives!

Outstanding experience - This is an exceptional experience to remember! The guide was knowledgeable of the history and locals in Genoa. Kayaking through the coast was amazing. Even if I already knew Genoa, this was absolutely an unexpected surprise! Giuliano was very helpful with everything and provided anything we needed.
Overall, this experience was outstanding.

Considerations - My husband had a single kayak and the pedal rudder did not work. The guy was great when my husband rolled the kayak twice and his prescription eyeglasses are now at the bottom of the ocean. We stopped at a place on the coast in which we all got espresso and talked as a group. This was really cool. Because of my husband‘s vision and being a single kayaker, we decided to quit. The guide was understanding, even though he would have to tow back the kayaks. He was very kind and we appreciated the experience.
