Located just minutes from Spotorno, the Bergeggi Island Marine Park packs serious adventure into compact half-day tours. Small-group kayak excursions provide intimate access to hidden coves and crystalline waters, while combination kayak-snorkel tours let you experience both above and below the turquoise Mediterranean surface.
I especially love the guided kayak tours for their perfect mix of nature, history, and exercise. Local guides share fascinating details about the island’s past as a monastic refuge while leading paddlers past dramatic limestone cliffs and secluded beaches. The snorkel add-on reveals vibrant fish life and underwater caves in what I consider some of Italy’s clearest coastal waters.
