Sea Kayaking To Sainte Marie Island

OVERVIEW

Paddle a kayak through the sheltered seas off Sainte Marie Island, where you will enjoy free time to swim and relax on one of its most beautiful beaches. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into a kayak and launch from a residential district on Ouemo Peninsula, which separates Magenta Bay from Sainte Marie Bay. The water there is typically calm because Sainte Marie Island isn’t far offshore and its hills shield the sea from the wind. As you paddle along, the guide will lead you into secluded coves and describe the marine life that inhabits the coral reefs that you can easily see just below the surface. Upon reaching one of the more idyllic beaches, you will disembark for a bit of exploration. You might stroll along the coast, take a refreshing swim or simply stretch out on the sand before padding back.
