Detailed description

Water sports in Liguria - by kayak or SUP from Recco to Punta Chiappa

The unique coastal landscape of the Riviera de Levante attracts many holidaymakers every year - especially those who want to spend their holidays in a more natural environment. The charm of the wild coasts, the sparsely populated landscape and the wonderful view of the small villages painted on the mountains create a special atmosphere east of Genoa. This tranquility of Liguria's Riviera de Levante is perfect for quiet water sports. With the kayak or SUP you experience the beautiful connection of man and nature at the Mediterranean Sea in an intensive way. You start at the beach of Recco to Punta Chiappa and cross crystal clear water with the paddle, dream in front of idyllic bays and hike with the rhythm of the sea.

At the rental station, which is located directly on the beach of Recco, you will receive the complete equipment before the start. You can choose whether you prefer kayaking or paddling along the coast of Liguria. The pace of the participants will be adapted to the group. On the way there are several breaks to take a breath, relax and swim. A guide will guide you around the coastline, past the beaches of Liguria and to the quiet bays. A trip to the mysterious caves of the Ligurian coast is also part of this half-day excursion.

Recco is a small resort in the province of Genoa. Its beaches are clean and mostly covered with small pebbles. Numerous water sports are available in the Ligurian Sea. Kayaking or Stand up Paddling are two wonderful ways to enjoy the beauty of this region in silence, to walk a few kilometres along the coast and to spend an active day in Liguria. At almost any place they could jump into the Mediterranean Sea and refresh themselves. The water quality on the Ligurian coast is considered excellent. Particularly beautiful colours await you at Punta Chiappa. The promontory rises from the Portofino peninsula into the sea and is the destination of this 4-hour guided tour by kayak or SUP from Recco. You can also explore this route on your own on a 2-hour tour without a guide.

SUP on the Ligurian Riviera of Flowers, that was a great experience

Stand-up paddling requires above all a good sense of balance. I can keep my balance best when I am balanced and relaxed inside. Thanks to the calm sea and the fantastic landscape, I was relaxed and balanced here. And the SUPing was great fun.

SUP an der ligurischen Blumenriviera, das war ein tolles Erlebnis

Beim Stand-Up-Paddeling braucht es vor allem ein gutes Balance-Gefühl. Balance kann ich am besten halten, wenn ich innerlich ausgeglichen und entspannt bin. Dank des ruhigen Meeres und der fantastischen Landschaft war ich hier entspannt und ausgeglichen. Und das SUPen machte Riesenspaß.

Active holiday without stress

Exercise in the fresh sea air. I stood on the SUP board and got the full boom: healthy exercise, sun, sea, fun. That's why I'm happy to rate it here.

Aktivurlaub ohne Stress

Bewegung an frischer Meeresluft. Ich stellte mich auf das SUP-Board und bekam die volle Dröhnung: Gesunde Bewegung, Sonne, Meer, Spaß. Gerne bewerte ich deshalb hier.

I've only sat in a kayak once before

Because according to the text above, "basic knowledge" was required for this tour, I wasn't quite sure whether my (little) knowledge would be sufficient. The concern was unfounded. The crew at the rental station was friendly and helped optimally. The tour is (also) recommended for SUP and kayak fans who are just starting their hobby.

Ich habe vorher erst ein Mal in einem Kayak gesessen

Weil bei dieser Tour laut o.g. Text „Grundkenntnisse“ vorausgesetzt wurden, war mir nicht ganz klar, ob meine (geringen) Kenntnisse ausreichen. Die Sorge war unbegründet. Die Crew an der Verleihstation war freundlich und half optimal. Die Tour ist (auch) empfehlenswert für SUP und Kayak-Fans, die am Anfang ihres Hobbys stehen.

Discover the Levant from the sea

Sitting comfortably in a kayak and watching the coastline from the sea: lovely! In between, a refreshment in the – here clean – Mediterranean Sea: Fantastic! A great and very inexpensive holiday experience, if only it weren't for paddling. ;)

Die Levante von der Seeseite entdecken

Gemütlich im Kajak sitzend und die Küstenlinie vom Meer aus beobachten: herrlich! Zwischendurch mal eine Erfrischung im – hier sauberen – Mittelmeer: Fantastisch! Ein tolles und sehr preiswertes Urlaubsvergnügen, wenn nur das Paddeln nicht wäre. ;)
