Water sports at the campsite beach
Kayak and transparent kayak
Want to explore the sea at your own pace? Kayaking is perfect for a leisurely outing. And for a touch of magic, try a transparent kayak: paddling while admiring the fish and the seabed is a unique experience. Of course, you can opt for an introductory session, which allows everyone to enjoy the experience, even those who might be afraid of losing their balance on this small boat. Our team will be happy to help you have a great time.
Pedalo with slide
The timeless holiday classic! The pedalo with slide is the ultimate activity for families. Young and old alike love diving in and climbing back out again and again. We know that families appreciate this convivial aspect, because everyone gets involved and everyone has a great time, especially the children, who will be delighted to ask for more!
Snorkelling and underwater games
With a mask and snorkel, snorkelling opens the door to a fascinating underwater world. The clear waters of the Costa Verde make it easy to see schools of fish swimming or small anemones clinging to rocks, just a few metres from our beach. For the more adventurous, the Seabob and Sueblue transform swimming into a real adventure: these devices allow you to glide underwater quickly and effortlessly, giving you the opportunity to explore our beautiful aquatic fauna and flora, an experience that leaves you with unique memories.

Speed lovers will find what they’re looking for with jet skiing. There’s nothing like speeding across the water, the wind in your hair and the spray on your face.

They will ensure that your experience is as complete and enjoyable as possible by letting you explore a large area of the sea.
Parasailing
Take to the skies and admire the coastline from above with Costa Verde Aventure’s parasailing experience. An unforgettable moment offering breathtaking views of the Corsican mountains, the azure blue sea and the surrounding flora. And believe me, I’ve tried it myself, it’s much gentler than it looks. You take off gently from the boat with the parachute inflating and the winch pulling you up. You sit on the harness and there’s only one thing left to do: enjoy the ride. The Costa Verde Adventure team will make sure you enjoy this wonderful moment with a unique view and then gently lower you back to the stern of the boat to return to the ship and dry land.
Pull buoy
This is the ideal activity for having a good laugh together. You sit on a large inflatable tube attached to a boat and set off on a wild ride over the waves. The tube bounces, spins and speeds up, and sometimes you have to hold on tight to stay on. Families and groups of friends love this activity because it combines speed, fun and splashes.
