Summary: Good communication in advance, good material and guide who also told eea about Elba during tour. Nice to be able to snorkel at a stop. And watching the sunset from the sea is beautiful. Even when someone from the group could not come because it did not fit well in kayak, they thought carefully about solutions. When that did not work out, money was also immediately refunded. So it's very well arranged.

Summary: The tour alternated moments of technical commitment due to sea and wind with moments of relaxing paddling offering an overall interesting experience. Magnificent natural scenery and wonderful encounters with dolphins. Masterfully managed by the 2 guides "the Alexandrians" both in difficulties and in the evening and morning galley with exquisite quality. The management of the group from the human point of view was also impeccable.One
