flecha SEA KAYAKING AND WILDLIFE

Duration: one whole day.

Time of year: all year round

Difficulty level: high.


Description: From your lodging accommodation we drive very early in the morning north of La Serena to Humboldt Penguin National Reserve which consists of three islands with white sandy beaches and surrounded by emerald water full of marine wildlife such as penguins, seals, a colony of bottle nose dolphins and a great variety of birds. Once we get there we’ll prepare our kayaks (the stable and comfortable Necky Amaruk model), have a safety talk and paddling instructions. In our paddling we visit the Gaviota island, then we cross to the Choros island and as we approach we’ll get sight of the seals who are located in front of large cliffs which on occasion we will navigate through. Once we’ll have visited the Choros island we will cross towards the Damas island, a place where we will have more opportunity of sighting dolphins. We will stay on the Damas island for approximately one hour (depending on the conditions of the sea) to have some food and to recover energy after which we’ll start paddling back to the continent were our transportation will drive us to your lodging accommodation. This concludes our service.

This may include a change of the condition of the sea after staying at the Damas island, which could mean that we have to stay on the island a little longer. These situations cannot be predicted and are out of our control so they are not a reason for a refund.
