Sea kayaking in Ajaccio

Cors'Aventure takes you to the most beautiful coastline in the south-west of the island, from Ajaccio to Propriano. Kayak in turquoise waters between rocks formed by volcanic eruptions, and discover unspoilt sites such as the Isolella peninsula.

Fast and manoeuvrable, the kayak allows you to slip through small channels of water between steep rocks where a motorboat would be unable to venture. It's an ideal way to discover unusual places, sea caves and deserted coves, in an environmentally-friendly way, using only your arms. Kayaks are also available for hire.

The largest kayak fleet in France

With the largest fleet of decked sea kayaks in France and experience stretching back to 1990, Cors' Aventure takes you to these natural spots every season, for half-day to week-long trips.

River kayaking

Between April and early May, depending on the water level when the last snow melts, Cors'Aventure takes you river kayaking on the Tavignano river to kick off the summer season.

Canyoning

Cors'Aventure also offers canyoning at the Richiusa canyon in Bocognano and the Baracci canyon in Propriano.

A 1/2 day kayak trip at Isolella

To enjoy the jewels of the Isle of Beauty without going very far, opt for the Isolella peninsula south of Ajaccio in the commune of Pietrosella. You'll first be introduced to the use of a kayak (accessible from the age of 7).

The excursion lasts half a day (morning or afternoon). Bring a swimming costume, something to drink, a hat or cap, sun cream, a pair of shoes and a T-shirt. And don't forget your mask and snorkel if you want to explore the seabed.

Kayak hire in Porticcio - Paddle, pedalos, sailing

For a day out with friends or family, Cors'Aventure offers sea kayak hire for as long as you like.

Kayak hire is also available throughout the summer from 15 June to 15 September. Packages are available by the hour, half day or full day. You can hire kayaks, paddleboats and pedalos, as well as fun boats (small sailing boats) and HobieCat 16 catamarans, with the option of taking sailing lessons with a qualified instructor.

One-week sea kayaking itinerant holiday

From May to September, set off for an all-inclusive week aboard your kayak for total immersion in nature. The programme includes a bivouac on the beach and a night under the stars, a picnic lunch and a hot meal together in the evening.

Around 18 sessions are planned between May and September, starting on a Sunday and finishing on a Saturday, and can be booked online from the table of services at the bottom of the page.

Kayak trip prices

Group rates are degressive. Cheques and holiday vouchers are accepted. Despite the life jacket, it is recommended to know how to swim for aquatic activities and swimming tests can be carried out for minors.

Eco-responsible tourism

The kayak - one of the oldest boats in the world (over 4,000 years old) - is one of the most environmentally-friendly means of transport on the water and has not changed since its origins. Everything is done by hand, leaving no trace on the water. From self-sufficiency in food to bivouacking under the stars, the whole kayaking experience is part of an ecological philosophy in which you forget about time and the comforts of life, and get in tune with the rhythms of nature. It's a great way to break away from everyday habits.

Technical details - Single or double kayak

You can choose to go it alone in a single-seater kayak, or join forces with a partner in a double-seater kayak. Paddles, skirts and lifejackets are provided.

Your belongings are loaded into the kayak and insulated in a waterproof bag. The decked kayak has plenty of room for food, water and clothing. Take extra protection for your electronic equipment (camera, telephone, etc.) in case the waterproof bag tears unexpectedly.
