Kayak & E-Bike Tour - Adventure Planning Guide

The schedule is flexible based on group interests and weather conditions, ensuring adequate time to fully enjoy both experiences without feeling rushed through either activity.

  • Our e-bike routes include scenic coastal paths, residential areas showcasing local architecture, hidden beach access points, cultural landmarks, and elevated viewpoints offering panoramic ocean and mountain views.
