My family and I went on a half-day kayaking trip. The scenery was incredible. We were guided to small, wild beaches unlike any I had ever seen before. We were beginners, but they took excellent care of us. Don't even worry about the food, because they offered us a delicious dinner. It was a fantastic trip to see the island from the sea!
Beautiful kayaking experience, I highly recommend it for those who want to experience Favignana in an authentic way. The very helpful and knowledgeable guide Maurizio provided us with everything we needed. We went to hidden coves and unique beaches reachable only by sea, stopping and swimming in crystal clear waters. Finally a nice packed lunch with typical products and a nice time of sharing experiences.

Maurizio has a passion for kayaking that he manages to convey with seriousness and at the same time fun even in only half a day of activity! Beautiful experience, definitely to do again!
It was our first kayaking tour. Mauritzo showed us wonderful places (coves, islands)
and beaches) in Favignana, which we wouldn't have reached without this tour. Every single place was incredibly beautiful. It was worth seeing the snorkeling spots as well; the water was crystal clear. At the end, there was a delicious meal together. The tour was worth it, and Mauritzio is a wonderful teacher with a lot of humor and passion: thanks for this fantastic experience!
I can highly recommend the tour. Many greetings from Hamburg 😊 Kristina-Luisa
We had a fantastic kayaking tour in Favignana with Maurizio! He is an incredibly friendly and charming guide who took us through the tour with great passion. In fact, for him the kayaking season in Favignana had already ended, but for us he made an exception. Maurizio not only showed us wonderful places that we would never have discovered without his local knowledge, but he also told us many interesting stories and basic information. It shows that he really puts his heart and soul into it. The tour was perfectly organized, very relaxing, and at the same time full of highlights. He organized the local snacks himself and we ate together. We can only highly recommend a kayaking tour with Maurizio and we will be happy to return! Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
A wonderful opportunity to explore the island of Favignana in a less mainstream way. We visited small rocks and coves that are hardly accessible from the land and are less frequented by the crowds of tourists. Accompanied by the stories and the friendliness of Maurizio, who made this alternative approach to exploration a true way of life, we were able to fully appreciate the beauty of the island. An unforgettable experience and highly recommended.
The view was truly incredible, the activities along the route were very fun, and also, feeling that you can go from one place to another with your abilities was such a beautiful and unparalleled experience. The instructor was fantastic. The long time in the kayak was a challenge for me, but it made it so easy to tackle the journey. I want to come back soon and try another route. Thank you very much!
A fantastic half-day tour not to be missed if you want to explore the secret places of Favignana. The tour guide is very kind and helpful and will help you in any way possible. The best activity of our vacation. Maurizio is understanding and very patient. I would recommend him to 1000%.
A wonderful experience, which allowed us to try a new activity and swim in hidden coves that are otherwise inaccessible.
Maurizio is a very skilled, friendly and passionate instructor who guided us step by step to make the experience even safer and more enjoyable. I recommend Egadi Kayak in Favignana to everyone, it is also suitable for beginners like us.
I chose to do the kayaking experience in Favignana to have the opportunity to visit the island without visiting the classic and consequently overcrowded areas. Maurizio gave me the opportunity to enjoy views of the water and the indescribable rocks. The turquoise color of the sea, the fish, and the contact with nature that the kayak offers make you feel excited and leave indelible memories. For an entire day, you escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stop to admire the incredible things nature has to offer.
Maurizio was very kind and helpful, even offering a ride from the port to the starting point of the excursion.
I had the opportunity to hear his authentic story and it is definitely something that I will carry in my heart and that makes me think a lot.
Thanks Maurizio and good wind!
Today, my husband Davide and my daughter Giorgia had the pleasure of participating in a kayaking trip with Maurizio. It was an unforgettable experience and highly recommended for anyone looking to experience a unique adventure in the middle of nature.
From the very beginning, Maurizio proved to be an exceptional guide. His friendliness and friendly approach made the entire day enjoyable and relaxing. Maurizio is not only an expert kayaker, but also an inexhaustible source of knowledge about the area. During the excursion, he provided us with many fascinating insights into the landscape and the surrounding nature, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty and history of the place.
Every corner we visited was more stunning than the previous one, and the experience of seeing these natural wonders by kayak was truly special. Even my daughter, who initially was a bit reluctant to participate, was won over by the beauty of the places and the pleasant atmosphere created by Maurizio.
Another highlight of the day was the lunch break. We were delighted by the excellent homemade bread, accompanied by fresh fruit and Sicilian sweets, which added a touch of authenticity and flavor to our excursion. It was the perfect moment to relax, chat, and enjoy the company.
In short, we highly recommend this kayaking excursion to everyone, even those who might initially feel a bit lazy or uncertain. Thanks to Maurizio's expert and passionate guidance, we were able to have a day full of discovery and fun. It is an experience we will remember for a long time and we hope to be able to repeat it soon!
5 stars are not enough to give a rating for this experience, which is simply extraordinary! Maurizio took us into his world and, with his professionalism and experience, he managed to make us fully enjoy everything the island had to offer: beauty, variety, and taste. I return home with a deeper awareness: happiness comes from simple things, from the sea, from nature, and from sharing.
An unforgettable adventure!
Beautiful experience.
I must say that this was my first time kayaking and I fell in love with it!
Maurizio was very kind; he had everything he needed with him and not just that… he spoiled us with homemade bread and watermelon on one of the stages of the tour!
Highly recommended!!!
