CANOE RENTAL WITHOUT GUIDE AVAILABLE ON "SANTA CATERINA SEA KAYAK" WEBSITE.
The POLIGNANO kayak trip is a fascinating tour, not physically demanding and therefore also suitable for those who have never gone kayaking. Included in the price is the SEA KAYAK COURSE FOR BEGINNERS guided by a 2nd level sea kayak instructor of the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation. On the way we will show you hidden caves and ravines, all to be explored! After putting on the life jackets and entering our kayaks, we will be ready to sail southwards alongside the splendid and very high coast of Polignano. We will pass by the famous beach of Lama Monachile, we will visit Arcivescovado Cave, Palazzese Cave and we will swim into the clear water of Ardito Cave.

The instructor reserves the right to check the weight of the participants and to prevent anyone weighing 100kg or more from starting. No refund is provided in this case.
- CHILDREN: the minimum age to join our tours is 6 years. Up to the age of 12, children will have to go in a double kayak together with an accompanying adult. From 12 years up there are no limits. The adult with a child in a double kayak must be in very good physical shape to drive a double kayak (longer and heavier) alone. The cost of the ticket for a child is lower than for an adult. For this reason the instructor reserves the right to check his identity document before departure which the adult is therefore required to bring with him. In the event that an age is different from that declared at the time of booking or is not compatible with participation in the tour, the instructor reserves the right to request an addition to the cost of the ticket or to prevent departure. No refund is provided in the latter case.
- WHAT TO BRING: sunscreen, half liter bottled water (to put under the bungee in front of the kayak seat), anti-nausea medicine (to be taken before the trip if you suffer from seasickness)
- CLOTHING: swimsuit, T-shirt, water shoes (closed shoes that can get wet as an alternative. Flip-flops are not recommended), hat, sunglasses with safety lanyard
- PERSONAL BELONGING: we will keep non-bulky valuables such as wallets, cell phones and car keys. Small bags or backpacks can be stored in the hatches of the kayaks or in the car of the guide. Be careful because in the hatches the backpack could get wet and we are not responsible for any theft of anything stored in the guide’s car.
- SEA KAYAKING SKILL: the course for beginners, has the task of making everyone, especially beginners, able to go kayaking with the minimum skill required for carrying out the trip. However, it may happen that, despite the course for beginners and the instructor’s tips given in the water, the minimum skill required for carrying out the tour are not achieved. For example, an insufficiency in balance may occur which causes repeated capsizing or in the execution of the circular stroke to change direction. Unfortunately, in a group experience the instructor in the water cannot dedicate a lot of time to a person who may be in difficulty since during this time the entire group remains without a guide and a longer time could be dangerous for the success of the tour for the entire group. In these cases, at the sole discretion of the instructor in the water, it will not be possible to join the tour and the person will be accompanied to the starting point. A refund of 50% of the ticket cost is expected.
- PARTICIPANTS MINIMUM NUMBER: if the minimum number of participants is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the trip up to 1 hour before departure. Communication will take place via email. For this reason, please always check your email inbox for new messages. The whole cost of the tickets will be refund.
- PICTURES: the guide will take numerous pictures during the kayak tour and participants will receive the link to download them for free via email. It is not recommended to carry your mobile phone with you as it could get damaged or fall into water and furthermore its use represents an unnecessary source of distraction.
- KAYAK SINGLE OR DOUBLE: The number of single and double kayaks is limited, it is not possible to choose them in advance. The guide will assign them based on the preferences of the participants and technical evaluations. If you want a double, for example, usually, you can choose it. We have four double kayaks. However, there may be children under 12 in the group who must go in a double kayak accompanied by an adult. Only in that case might they not be enough. But this is quite rare.
- The experience is not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg
