What do you get when you mix a get-away vacation in sunny Tuscany with the best of Mediterranean sea kayaking? Paddling from beach to beach on the famed island of Elba – luxury style! Our Italian sea kayaking maestros will show us the best of wine, food and active fun as we take a paddling tour of this Italian island jewel.

Elba has 147 km of coastline surrounded by crystal waters perfect for kayaking, and it is known for its mild Mediterranean climate. Home to ancient Greeks, ambitious Romans, and most notoriously, the Emperor Napoleon, the island is dotted with ancient forts, ruins, and grand villas. From the slopes of high Mount Capanne at the heart of the island to the romantic fishing villages along the coast, the scenery is captivating and dramatic.

We enjoy beachside family hotels each night, and explore the crystal-clear waters, secret green bays and cool grottos during the day. Modern amenities of the comforts of Italian luxury hotels mingle with the charm of the historic ports and sweeping beaches. Our trips depart in June and September, to avoid the summer crowds, and to offer you this famous island at its best. ANDIAMO!!
