Paddle & kayak ×

Between the Atlantic Ocean and hidden lagoons, Senegal reveals its finest landscapes through paddleboarding and kayaking. In Dakar, outings take place offshore from Ngor with views of the island, or along the eastern Corniche, often accompanied by the graceful movement of traditional pirogues. On the Petite Côte, the Somone and Joal-Fadiouth lagoons form natural refuges where pelicans and hornbills watch visitors pass by: paddling here means sharing a moment with local wildlife and discovering mangroves at water level.

The activity is accessible to everyone and supervised by passionate guides, with equipment provided (board, paddle, life jacket). A simplified online booking system lets you secure your time slot with a 20% deposit, with the balance due at the start of the adventure.
