Your adventure begins at the peaceful Niasca beach, tucked between the greenery of the Portofino Natural Park and the calm turquoise waters of Paraggi Bay. Once there, our staff will provide you with all the necessary equipment: kayak or SUP, paddle, life vest, and a tasty aperitif, to be enjoyed before or after your time on the water.

You can set off at your own rhythm, within the center’s opening hours, and enjoy full freedom to explore. Pararggi Bay is ideal for a self-guided paddle: no boat traffic, clearly marked buoys, and calm waters make it safe and beginner-friendly to take confidence with the kayak or sup.

During your outing, you’re free to paddle along the rocky coastline of the Marine Protected Area, stop at hidden coves, or simply float and relax in silence, immersed in nature. You’re welcome to take a swim, or make it more adventurous by renting a mask, snorkel, and fins for a spontaneous snorkeling break.

Once back on land (or before you head out), it’s time for your seaside aperitif: a glass of natural “Triple A” wine and authentic Ligurian focaccia, served on our terrace or right on the beach. A simple and delicious way to savor the local vibe.

At our center, you’ll also find showers and secure lockers to store your personal items with peace of mind.

This experience is perfect for those who value freedom, simplicity, and connection with nature, offering you the space and time to enjoy the sea your own way.
