Kayak découverte 17 offers two sea kayak itineraries to discover Fouras or the mouth of the Charente accompanied by a professional guide!
Do you want to discover sea kayaking in Fouras? Then these beginner friendly excursions from the Espérance beach are for you! With this activity, you have the choice between two kayak trips in Fouras, each lasting 2 hours.
The course "Embouchure de la Charante" offers you to sail to Fort Vasou, while admiring the ornithological richness of the Charente mouth, with a view on the fisheries (Carrelets) and on Fort Boyard during your trip. You can also choose the "Presqu'île de Fouras" route for an original view of the historical heritage of Fouras (Fort Vauban, the Aiguille redoubt, etc.) On your way, you will pass the southern port, the western beach, the Vierge beach and its bourgeois residences, reminders of an era which saw the emergence of seaside resorts.
Before leaving for your kayak trip, the safety instructions will be explained to you and you will adjust the kayaks on the sand in order to navigate comfortably. You will first become familiar with your kayak (decked, two-seater or single-seater) and then the first 10 minutes on board will be dedicated to initiation to allow you to enjoy the rest of this guided excursion in Fouras. Once you have all the keys in hand, you will be able to sail!
Accompanied by a professional instructor, you will be able to sail in complete safety and peace of mind. Quality equipment will be provided to ensure you have an unforgettable kayaking trip in the mouth of the Charente or on the Fouras peninsula!
So get started with sea kayaking and go on a kayaking trip to Fouras for a memorable experience!
