Kayak Brindisi: your sea adventure between history and nature
We are waiting for you in the most complete outdoor center in Brindisi for an unforgettable kayak trip. Here the motto is paddle in style: we take you kayaking along the inner harbor, reach the majestic Castello Alfonsino by sea, and let you experience the city from the best perspective — the water.
Kayak Brindisi at Alfonsino Castle
Starting from our dock in the inner port of Brindisi, you will kayak along the calm waters that surround the Island of Sant’Andrea until you reach the monumental Castello Alfonsino.
Rowing under its sixteenth-century walls, among seagulls in flight and turquoise reflections, is like signing a pact with history: an experience accessible to all, guided by local instructors who reveal legends of pirates, conflicts between Aragonese and Venetians and naturalistic curiosities about the Caretta caretta turtles that sometimes surface near the bow.
The tour culminates with a “soft beaching” landing for a short panoramic walk on the ramparts, perfect for postcard photos and to feel, even if only for a moment, like guardians of the port of Brindisi.
