Wonderful

Published on Jun, 2022

Found this kayaking experience here on TripAdvisor while planning our Italian holiday and I'm really glad I did. The day before the kayaking trip, we received all information via WhatsApp and even got a call to double check that we did get all key information safely. The following day was hot, with temperatures of up to 36 degrees, so the organisers communicated with us in in advance about delaying the excursion by an hour - for when the sunshine would be a little less strong. Francesco met the group at a specified place, prepared all kayaks, ensured everyone's stuff was safe and dry and ever since then was just an all-around fabulous kayaking leader. He kept checking on everyone and shared stories, marine knowledge (and he also works as a marine biologist) and his passion for the sea/environment & slow tourism. He took photos of us and shared those via Whatsapp in the end. Overall, this is a really lovely, authentic/unpretentious experience with a big hear and lots of nice touches. We wish Naturalmente Salento all the best in the future!

Amazing Day With Francesco!

We had such a fun day kayaking around & exploring the area. I would highly recommend. Our tour guide, Francesco, was so friendly and passionate about his work. He made our day extra-special.
