Description
Bordering on the Ligurian and the Tyrrhenian Sea, and situated above Sardinia, Corsica is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean. It’s a mountain island that belongs to France and its beautiful landscapes have nothing to envy from its Mediterranean neighbors.
Apart from its fantastic mountains, Corsica shows wonderful woods, vineyards, lakes, beaches and cliffs. If you follow me on this 8-day tour around this wonderful island, we’ll explore it in an unusual way.
The tour combines days of kayaking with days of hiking, which makes it a great opportunity to explore nature and enjoy a sportive activity. With our kayaks, we’ll discover remote wilderness areas that are difficult to reach. Also, we’ll visit some of the local villages on foot and try delicious meals and wines.
As for the requirements, keep in mind it’s important to have some prior kayaking experience as well as a good level of fitness. Of course, I will help and guide you on the way.
So, are you ready to explore the remote areas of Corsica along with an Italian guide? Then all you have to do is send the request and book your place. It will be an unforgettable experience!

About the guide
Cristina
Nature Guide
I am Cristina Puppo, a mountain guide, traveler and sportswoman.
I love both the sea and the mountains: intact wilderness areas are the environments I enjoy.
On every opportunity I have, I like to take my time and explore slowly, whether close to home or around the world. I also enjoy practicing my favorite sports and activities: hiking, skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering, kayaking or sailing, as well as discovering the underwater life while snorkeling. But it is human encounters that make the experience even more unique, anywhere you go!
I have a degree in Forestry and Environmental Sciences and chose it because I wanted my office to be in the wilderness. At first, I dreamed about the beautiful forests of northern Europe. One day, I missed my flight and found myself in Mali! In the end, I stayed in Africa for about 7 years and organized environmental and humanitarian projects for small NGOs.
At this moment, I live between Italy and France. In Grenoble, I obtained a Master in Economic Strategies in Sport and Tourism. In addition, I worked in the Ailefroide area at the Guides des Ecrins office.
My job is to organize trips for small groups in both popular and lesser known locations. I am interested in choosing the perfect time and place so we can live exciting experiences from start to finish. Are you fit? Together, we will discover the most beautiful and unusual places while hiking, kayaking, mountaineering, snorkeling or climbing.
Choose the activity that you love! I will take care of the accommodation and offer you delicious picnics and dinners prepared with local and healthy products. And if you come with your family, I will organize itineraries that allow you to combine the pleasure of being with your loved ones and the adrenaline of your favorite sports!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
