No previous kayaking experience is required, although you will be on the water for a few hours each day so a reasonable level of fitness is required. You must also be able to swim and should ideally feel comfortable in the open sea for extended periods (although the option to return to shore is always available). It's important to note that this trip involves 6 nights of consecutive wild camping. This is a wild adventure out in the elements for a full week, so do bring along a sense of adventure and be happy to forgo creature comforts. You'll be washing in the sea each morning with a sea soap bar!

Sure can! Over 50% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion. Your guide will help with advice on how much to tip. Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

This is an expedition-style kayaking trip, so the group will distribute various essentials between the kayaks. Your host will provide large water containers which will be filled up at various stops throughout the adventure. Please bring along a reusable water bottle to keep filling up from the large water containers.

Corsica has a classic Mediterranean climate and is one of the sunniest places in France. May is a cooler month to visit, you'll see highs of 21°C/70°F. In June things are heating up to 24°C/75°F, while July and August are the warmest months with highs of 29°C/84°F. September is a cracking month to visit with highs of 26°C/79°F, fewer crowds and the sea temperature at its warmest. No matter how hot it gets, this trip benefits from the ever-present option of jumping into the sea to cool off. Water temperatures are very pleasant between May and October at 19°C to 23°C with peaks of 27°C during July and August.

Absolutely. Anything you don't need can be left with your host at their base in Ajaccio and collected when the trip is finished.

We recommend checking out the country specific information here and also talking to a travel nurse.

You'll be carrying all your gear with you on the kayaks as you journey from cove to cove throughout the trip. Each kayak has watertight compartments at the front and rear where the bulky items go (clothes, sleeping bag, tarps and sleeping mats) along with the shared group water and food. While the compartments are large, please try to pack only essentials for this trip, and be as lightweight as you can.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

You're in good company. Our adventures are typically made up of a mix of solo travellers and small groups of two or three friends who simply love adventure, pushing themselves and meeting awesome like-minded people. See here for more info about our lovely bunch of Much Better Adventurers.
