Sea Kayaking Accessible Activity
Sea kayaking accessible activity for People with Reduced Mobility (PRM). Getting out on the sea gives people who depend on wheelchairs for mobility, newfound independence.
The sea kayaking tour in Rhodes is the most eco-way to discover the hidden treasures of the East Coast. Each participant with a disability will paddle in a double sea kayak with an experienced sea kayaking guide. A second guide will follow the route throughout the program. The route offers you the chance to discover two of the most popular bays of the island, Antony Quinn and Ladiko.

Accessibility Notes
-
This activity is addressed to paddlers with one arm/leg, people with no leg mobility, people with limited trunk control, and their caregivers.
-
When it comes to limited upper body mobility, we use a special paddle. The secret about the paddle is the hinged mount, which supports the weight of the paddle, reducing joint stress and creating a smaller range of motion. Using a gentle rotary movement of the forearms (much like pedaling a bicycle with your hands), you’ll glide through the water with minimal effort.
