Description

The tour begins with a brief kayaking lesson suitable for all skill levels. Led by experienced guides, the group paddles at a relaxed pace with regular stops to enjoy the surroundings. The route covers approximately 4-5 kilometers, adjusted based on group preference.

Starting at Mistra Bay, kayakers head to Rdum il-Biez, known for its turquoise water, tall cave, and World War II remnants. Then the group crosses 100 meters to St. Paul’s Island, which features a 7-meter statue of St. Paul and is a notable bird sanctuary.
