Explore the wild beauty of the lagoon by paddle and kayak

An unforgettable adventure for young and old!

The “Crossing the lagoon by stand-up paddle and kayak” excursion offered by the Kite Aventure club is an exciting, well-organized experience designed for families with young children aged 3 and over. Here’s a detailed overview of the steps involved in this immersive activity:

Preparation and equipment :

• Before starting the tour, you’ll be asked to put on wetsuits or insulated shorts in winter and early spring. In summer, you can wear shorts, as the lagoon water is generally warm.
• Kite Aventure instructors Zied and Hamza will help you prepare your paddles for the adventure.

Initiation and balance :

• Once you’re in the water, your instructor will give you an introduction to balancing on your paddle.
• You’ll learn paddling techniques and tricks for getting around on the water with ease.

Departure for the crossing :

• Once everyone has mastered the paddle, the tour begins with a 1.7-2 km crossing to the other side of the lagoon.
• The lagoon is safe, protected from the waves, and has a maximum depth of around 1 meter.

Discover the wild shore :

• Accompanied by your instructor, you’ll reach a shoreline lined with small wild beaches, where you can watch flamingos sunning themselves in winter, as well as albatrosses and gulls gracing the skies.
• This is a fragile area, so it’s essential to follow the instructor’s instructions so as not to disturb the birds and other species that take refuge on these unspoilt wild beaches, known as “Rass El Kastil“.

Respect for nature :

• Throughout the excursion, it’s essential to be mindful of the surrounding nature, avoiding noise and shouting.
• You can also contribute to preserving the environment by picking up litter found on beaches, derived from the Mediterranean. Your instructor will then take care of depositing them in a recycling container.

The party:

• Once on the other side of the lagoon, you can ask to be served breakfast, fresh fruit juices and cocktails or even a barbecue, while enjoying the ambient music (on request in advance, not included in the price).
• You can spend a full day by the sea, with additional activities on request (barbecue, tent, apero…).
• The Kite Aventure club’s rescue boat will always be close by in case of need.

This excursion offers you the chance to experience an exciting stand-up paddle and kayak adventure, while discovering the natural beauty of the lagoon and contributing to the preservation of its ecosystem.
