Guided Kayak Tour in St Paul's Island
Overview
A beginner friendly, guided kayak tour to St Paul's Island. Exploring a wonderful cave before an exploratory rest break on the secluded island.
We start our adventure in Mistra Bay with a basic kayak lesson. We travel as a group at a leisurely pace & stop frequently to explore and for rest! We paddle a total of 4-5kms and our leaders will calibrate pace and distance to the group's abilities.
Starting at Mistra Bay, we will hug the rugged coast up to Rdum Il-Biez Bay. There are lovely blue waters, an amazing cave with colorful coral & several remnants of WW2!
We then cross a 100 meter channel to St Paul's Island. We will stop for 25 minutes and either have a relaxing swim, or else explore the island by land. There is a magnificent statue of St Paul & a big Cross dating back to 1845. Both of these offer amazing photo opportunities.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach.
