State-certified guide. A true modern adventurer, they will be able to make you experience adventure through their passion.

We are on the west coast exposed to prevailing winds, but in the morning, the sea is most often flat calm. A breeze often forms around midday, so most of the navigation takes place in the morning.

Programmes are given as a guide. Unforeseen events are always possible and situations beyond our control may modify the course of events (weather, level of participants…). Our guides may thus be led to modify the itinerary depending on the weather or if the safety of the group requires it. In addition, on certain dates, the circuit may be done in reverse.
