DISCOVER CAPRAIA

Located 36 miles off the Tuscan coast, with just 800 meters of road, inhabited by 200 devoted souls, Capraia reveals itself with its small port and a unique village at the foot of the imposing Fortress.

Beyond this human nucleus, all that extends is a wild Mediterranean scrub and solitary coves that narrate the story of this authentic and exclusive land.

The first and only rule in this corner of paradise is to abandon all haste.

The days here are marked by the typical rhythms of life on this small maritime island.

Capraia, with its dual nature of rugged and gentle, soft and angular, severe and sunny, barren and lush green, is a place where the play of opposites is a fascinating daily pastime.

Capraia, gently, takes you by the hand and leads you on a journey, hoping you won't decide to leave too soo

Two days exploring the island of Capraia!

 

We'll attempt to complete the circumnavigation of the island in one day—12.5 nautical miles, 23 km.

If weather conditions prevent us from completing the circumnavigation, we'll organize paddling sessions in more sheltered areas.

Should conditions absolutely prevent paddling, we'll explore the island through trekking along its trails.

Example: Village, Punta dello Zenobito, Cala Rossa or Stagnone - M.te Penne - M.te Castello - Mortola.

You'll be accompanied by Sea Kayak Italy guides who will handle the expedition planning and provide support to the group.

You'll connect with the island and its dynamics thanks to the presence of a local expert.
