Activity description
Discover the lagoon of Saint-Gilles on a sea kayaking excursion departing from La Saline-les-Bains!
Your guided sea kayaking trip in the Saint-Gilles lagoon begins on the white sands of the Petit Trou d'Eau beach in La Saline-les-Bains, where a state-certified guide is waiting to take you on a voyage of discovery of the incredibly rich underwater environment of Reunion Island's Marine Nature Reserve. All in all, it is a 1.5-hour excursion in a sea kayak, giving you the chance to enjoy the beauty of the Saint-Gilles lagoon in complete tranquillity!
While paddling calmly, you will have the pleasure of admiring the underwater flora present in the crystal-clear lagoon, as well as its fauna: many small fish live there, as well as sea turtles that you may be able to spot if you are lucky! Your guide will be happy to share his knowledge of this protected underwater world, which you will visit with the greatest respect aboard your sea kayaks from La Saline-les-Bains.
Young children from the age of 5 can take part if they can swim and are accompanied by their parents in the same boat, so don't hesitate to take part in this guided sea kayaking excursion in the Saint-Gilles lagoon with your family and friends!
