The Seychelles Sea Kayaking Cruise

Hosted aboard: SY Sea Star/SY Sea Bird

Test your physical limits by kayaking between and around the many isles of the Seychelles.

This 7-night cruise, which is conducted in partnership with the Terra Santa sea kayaking center in Israel, is an ideal holiday for avid sea kayakers keen on exploring the dozens of beautiful granite jewels of the inner islands from a unique perspective.

By paddling from island to island, kayakers are able to see different landmarks and small coves that are not always accessible to the average tourist. The experience also doubles as a good training opportunity: whereas kayaking is not possible in colder climates in winter, the warm waters of Seychelles provide chances to roll and experiment with techniques.

Using a vessel as the platform for the expedition allows kayakers to move to different parts of the archipelago without having to transport equipment or sacrifice quality of accommodation, as both Sea Star and Sea Bird offer spacious cabins with ensuite bathrooms. The vessels also easily allow kayakers or even non-kayaking partners to be able to relax on the boat or take advantage of various water sports and island excursions, which are readily available throughout the cruise.

The smallness and close proximity of the Seychelles islands allow for very flexible itineraries, meaning guests can find their own perfect balance between the thrill and adventure of kayaking, and the leisurely pace of a peaceful island getaway.
