This is one of our most challenging expeditions: 9 days sea kayaking around the Kadavu Island, with the aim of completing a full circumnavigation. A high level of fitness will be required to take part in this journey.
With a daily average of 4.5 hours kayaking we will follow the deeply indented, coral fringed, wasp-shaped coastline of Kadavu. Bordered by the Great Astrolabe Reef, home to turtles, dolphins and humpback whales, Kadavu provides the perfect setting and a world-class sea kayaking environment.
Days are spent paddling whilst we keep the evenings to relax, walking along trails through rainforest groves to waterfalls and swimming areas. On five of the eight evenings we camp in or near villages, and stay as guests of the local people. The local cuisine is healthy, fresh and delicious – fish, rice, fruit, vegetables and home baked bread - coming direct from the villagers’ gardens, forest areas and fishing grounds and providing an ‘authentically-Fijian’ diet.
With the constant mileage and weather, this is a demanding expedition and a high level of fitness or previous sea kayaking experience is required. However it will also be the most rewarding sea kayaking trip that you will do. This is an achievement and location that you will talk about for years to come.
If you would like to join the AdventureX team in this perfect location and be part of this First Expedition, then please call us on 0800 6127818.
