Totally memorable experience!

From our first contact with Julien to the last our experience on our trip around Sardinia was perfect. Every day’s experience exceeded the day before despite challenging wind and weather conditions. It was easy to put our full trust in Julien’s judgement as plans changed as needed. Every moment was memorable, from meals, sailing, exploring the islands by foot, or learning from Julien’s incredible wealth of knowledge.
The rock formations of Sardinia and Corsica are so unique, and beside the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea they offer a beauty not seen in any other part of the world.
Would I recommend this trip? Absolutely and without any reservations.
Thank you Julien for an incredible trip filled with unforgettable memories, and to Phillipe (our captain) for your expertise, stories, and for letting Chris take the helm!

An excellent kayaking excursion

The entire trip was very well done including excellent kayaking gear, comfortable accommodations and delicious meals. During the very windy week, the guide changed our itinerary to find more protected places for our paddle trips. The scenery and the company were delightful. I highly recommend this trip.

Corsica sea kayaking trip for a week

Thanks for VoyageKayak and Julien and JB in taking care of us in the week of our kayak trip. It’s been an amazing journey and the skills of kayaking and strength of Julien is awesome 😎. We are glad to be the first one from Hong Kong, and even from Asian, to participate in this wonderful cross cultural kayaking experience.

Also wish to thanks for the great organic/ healthy food that were brought on board, and let us taste different Mediterranean and Corsican style cuisine.

Great team and everyone are so nice 😊

Despite the kayaking journey comes to an end, but the experience of reuniting with the nature has just begin for me. Inspired by the trip leader Julien, the time in close contact with the Corsican area, susceptible to disruption by the strong Mediterranean north west monsoon, and the amazingly unexpected calmness in the sea after turning from the rough ocean waves before passing through different capes, brought us back to the reliance and awareness of the mother nature’s power.

In the journey, apart from the enhancement of the kayaking skills, it’s the cross cultural encounter which I treasured. Being in very close contact in one whole week on the catamaran, everyone was respectful to one another in many aspects. Firstly, the respect of the house rules to keep the boat running under limited resources (esp. fresh water). Secondly, to keep out of salt and moisture from the indoor cabin. Thirdly, to be careful in the use of all top and professional gears (sea kayak with rudder and skeg, hand pumps and sponge for removal of sea water from the cockpit) that Julien arranged for us.

Finally, it’s the enjoyment of Corsican and Mediterranean style crusine prepared by Julien that became an important enjoyment throughout the trip.

As the leader of this canoe trip, our trip leader, Julien, demonstrated a very broad range of knowledge.

1. First of all, a high degree of familiarity with the geographical environment, water flow, wind direction, etc. through which the trip will pass.
2. Physical strength, endurance and rowing skills are superb
3. Nutrition, prepare suitable food, calculate the amount of exercise and calories required and bring enough food and supplies.
4. Julien even served us good meals each night, including Mediterranean-style food, or some simple food that can be easily stored in the canoe
5. Adaptability to respond to maritime crises.

And one person's knowledge is always limited, so the team leader found another assistant, JB, who is also a sports enthusiast to assist him as the captain of the catamaran. JB has a wealth of sailing knowledge and is very knowledgeable about the operation of the catamaran. The principle of being able to hold a sail is also a set of tips for choosing a suitable place to rest at night.

Once again, I would like to express my appreciation for Julien’s arrangement of this trip which was wonderful!

A great trip!!

We were a group of six and were thoroughly happy with our stay at the catamaran. The dinners and picnic lunches were locally sourced and very tasty.
Julien knows Corsica's coast very well and was able to show us the amazing sights, beautiful overnight locations and beaches. The instructions and guidance we received were very clear. Our trip was an amazing experience and I can only recommend it. Thank you Julien!

Private Kayak/hike trip for two- W Corsica-7days

Kayak guide Julien and catamaran skipper, Phillip became family to us due to their care, expertise, and thoughtfulness. They are easy and kind people, flexible, and accommodating. We had 3 days of untypical wind/rain/surf, so they took us hiking, exploring villages, kept us in safe harbor, and were lovely companions and mates. They were concerned about the limited kayaking and long travel days to safe harbor, but for us, we loved being on a boat. We enjoyed every day and learning about Corsica. Thank you both and hope to see you on another tour!

Dear Rebecca

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! We're truly touched by your kind words.

It was an absolute pleasure having you on board during your sea kayaking and catamaran adventure in Corsica. The unpredictable weather can be a challenge, but we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the alternative activities we arranged, such as hiking and exploring villages. Your safety and comfort were our top priorities, and we're thrilled that you felt well taken care of.

Becoming like family to our guests is one of the greatest compliments we can receive. We truly value the connections we make, and it's wonderful to know that you felt comfortable and at ease with us. Flexibility and adaptability are essential when it comes to outdoor adventures, and we're glad you found us accommodating.

We share your hope of seeing you again on another tour! There's so much more of Corsica to explore, and we'd be honored to have you back for new adventures and more unforgettable memories.

Until then, stay well and take care!

Warm regards,

Julien and Phillip 🌟

Stunning kayaking in Raja Ampat

In November 2019, I went with Julien from Voyage Kayak to the Raja Ampat islands in Indonesia. It is a stunning & beautiful part of the world and it was a real privilege to see such an unspoilt part of the world.

Julien's kayaking trip was extremely well-organised and as an experienced kayaking instructor, his judgement was sound and the safety protocols he put in place, were reassuring in such a remote part of the world.
With extensive knowledge of the area and the waters around the islands, Julien was able to show us some real hidden gems. Add to that, frequent opportunities to snorkel and some of the most diverse marine life and corals I've ever seen, every day was a treat.

Staying in local homestays added to the richness of the trip, meeting some lovely people, eating great food & seeing local culture.

As soon as I got home, I wanted to go back!
