About this tour

What to expect
You'll launch your canoe before sunrise and paddle steadily towards Due Sorelle, moving past several smaller beaches and rocky outcrops. The guide handles route decisions while you focus on the paddling rhythm and the gradual lightening of the sky. As the sun breaches the horizon, colours shift from purple and orange to gold across the water and cliffs. You'll reach the twin sisters—two towering rock formations rising from the sea—at peak light. The pace is moderate; expect regular breathing time and a chance to float and absorb the landscape. Return journey follows the same route as morning conditions stabilise.
Good to know
