Kayak tour along the coast with a biologist in Melendugno
Three hours paddling along the shore, with someone who studies the sea.
What you do
A kayak takes you where you cannot go on foot, and you see the coast from the sea side. On this trip in Melendugno you paddle along the shore together with a biologist.
Having a biologist with you is what makes the difference. As you go, you are shown things you would never notice on your own and you learn what lives along the shore and under the surface. You come back ashore looking at the sea with new eyes.
The trip lasts three hours and runs from June to September. A full morning or afternoon, to enjoy at an easy pace.
By bike
Three hours at sea are a good part of the day, so I suggest giving it a day of its own, without the bike. Your legs rest while your arms do the work.
If you still want to combine the two, I prepare a short self-guided route with GPX and roadbook that takes you to Melendugno. You leave the bike locked with the lock that comes with it and ride on when you are back from the water. For the bike you have our bases in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera.
