“Our group had a lot of fun with Angelo. He showed us and explained so much about the nature reserve that we didn't know before. In addition to the kayak tour to the beautiful bays, we walked along the beach with him, while he told us about the formation of the moonstones and the numerous inhabitants of the protected area. Thank you Angelo!”

“Absolutely recommend Egadi Kayak, would book again without a doubt, Maurizio is a fantastic guide, also the snack he brought along, local delight!”
Guided kayak tour in Taormina, with two sea caves, Isola Bella Marine Park, and Naxos Bay paddling with Mount Etna views, 2.5 hours.
“A very nice way to get to know the island from a different perspective. It was a lot of fun, but it must be said that the tour ended quite abruptly. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to park on site. So it is best to research well in advance how to get there. For camper vans, there is a turning area for parking at the end of the promenade. From there, it is about 10 minutes by bike to the meeting point.”
Huge group SUP in Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, with a 6km sea paddle and included snorkeling, led by a certified guide from La Sirena.
“Un tour in SUP in gruppo fantastico! Perfetto per esplorare i bellissimi panorami di Torre Salsa, riserva naturale protetta unica in tutta la Sicilia. Altamente consigliato”
Guided kayak through Marsala’s Stagnone Lagoon, calm waters, salt pans and windmills, beginner-friendly route, and photo stops.
“Had a really fantastic time - a unique way of spending some time in Marsala. Very interesting tour, very patient kayaking instructor - I'd love to come back!”
