Compelling Corsica, a unique sea kayaking and mountain hiking adventure vacation from ROW Sea Kayak Adventures, was named one of National Geographic Traveler magazine’s 2015 Tours of the Lifetime.

This award from National Geographic Traveler is the first for ROW Sea Kayak Adventures.

The announcement from National Geographic released April 9, 2015 states “The 50 best guided tours selected this year offer authentic travel experiences that are sure to leave participants engaged and ensconced in culture.”

“We are honored to have our fabulous Corsica adventure chosen by National Geographic Traveler as a ‘Tour of a Lifetime.’ This validates the design process we orchestrate when developing new tours. We are eager to share the wild island of Corsica, a relatively unknown destination in France that I personally scouted, and to do it in a way that blends meaningful and authentic cultural interchange with active adventure.”

Compelling Corsica combines sea kayaking in the deep blue waters of the island, exploring coves and sea caves in the Gulf of Porto, and trekking a segment of the Grande Randonnée 20 (GR20), a legendary long-distance trail that runs north-south along Corsica’s granite spine, all fueled by local charcuterie, sheep-milk cheeses, and wine. The September departure will be led by ROW Sea Kayak Adventures co-owner Peter Grubb.
