Kayak and Snorkeling Tour in the Bergeggi Island MPA
Explore the biodiversity of the marine protected area of Bergeggi Island with a kayaking and snorkeling experience and immerse yourself in an environmental monitoring activity. A local hiking guide will guide you to discover the natural wonders and the historical and archaeological remains hidden in this place.
During the journey to the island the monitoring activity begins: the guide gives the participants the tablets on which the species observed will be indicated. We will observe the rock in search of the main species of algae to understand the ecological quality of the coast, and we will sharpen our eyes to identify and count the two main species of sea urchins, essential engineers of our ecosystem.
The excursion allows you to discover a place rich in biodiversity, history and legend. An opportunity to admire the beauty of the area and protect it through knowledge and monitoring of the species present.
