About this tour
Paddle 4km along Sicily's western coast from Cala Manbrù to the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, a WWF-protected stretch of rugged shoreline rarely visited by tourists. Your certified instructor leads this two-hour session, teaching you the basics before pointing out local wildlife and coastal landmarks along the way. The reserve's dramatic cliffs and untouched beaches reward the paddle with genuinely wild scenery.

What to expect
Start with a briefing and short skills session on the beach to get comfortable with your board. Once you're steady, you'll paddle out along the reserve's perimeter, hugging the coastline as your guide points out nesting birds, coastal plants, and the geology that shaped these cliffs. Conditions are generally calm, but you're on open water—expect a solid upper-body workout and occasional splashes. The paddle back is gentler as you build confidence. Two hours passes quickly; budget another 30 minutes for getting changed and grabbing coffee at the beach club.
