Sicily Sea Kayak Expedition Briefing
A multi-day, multi-island sea kayak camping expedition around the volcanic Aeolian Islands off of Sicily.
This small group adventure will explore sea caves, natural pools, bubbling thermal springs and enjoy crystal clear Mediterranean waters.
We begin by exploring the more wild and remote sides of Vulcano and Lipari, before finding ourselves in a campsite on Salina, just a short stroll into town to indulge on fine Sicilian cuisine – you won’t believe expeditions could taste so good!
The second half of the trip is spent staying in a guesthouse accommodation on the island of Stromboli, where we will watch the volcano erupt from both land and sea.
We will explore this wonderfully unique environment by kayak, as it is the best way to discover the islands and areas that can only be accessed by boat.
The expedition is 8 days total (airport to airport), with 6 days of kayak activity.
Suitable for beginner-intermediate kayakers with an adventurous spirit.

Is This For Me?
This expedition is designed to mix adventure, exploration and unique experience in the most comfortable way possible.
The Mediterranean Sea is the perfect playground for paddlers. The warm water and the (mostly) calm sea conditions create a great learning environment for all kayakers, from beginner to more advanced.
The distance needed to cover each day is very reasonable, with the longest being around 4-5 hours of paddle time covering 20kms. This means we spend more time enjoying the cliffs, the beaches, the towns and the swim spots.
Group size is limited to 6 people. This allows for attentive guiding and support for the newer paddlers in the group.
Our campsites have been chosen for their ease of access to restaurants. We can walk into town for dinner and pick up something for breakfast and lunch the next day. No need to carry 6 days of food and miss out on some of the best cuisine in the world!
*PLEASE NOTE* As with all outdoor adventures, the plan is flexible and subject to change. We reserve the right to amend the plan at any moment based off of the weather, sea conditions, group ability and so forth.

What an adventure! I was so lucky this trip came up on my radar. I'm an avid kayaker so I was really excited about the chance to paddle on open water around these volcanic islands. Each day was different from that last as each island has its own vibe. My favorite was definitely the hike on Stromboli and seeing a live, active volcano go off a few times an hour. I've told my friends about this trip and if you have any reservations, don't!!! You'll have a blast. Chris is an excellent guide. So happy I went.
I had only kayaked once before joining up to go on this trip with Chris and I have to say it was great.
Great location, Great guide and atmosphere of the whole place and people that live there make this a trip to remember.
What an all round amazing trip!
First off i am a complete beginner at kayaking but this was the perfect challenge for me. Don't get me wrong, it was hard but in the best was posible. Chris supported me on day 1 when i really struggled and helped improve my technique.
But to top it all off Chris is an all round great guy! Originally my work wasn't letting me know if i could have the time off. But i was assured the spot was there if needed.
If you are reading this and contemplating it, just do it. You won't regret it!
