Conservation
The lagoon is ecologically sensitive; operators limit group sizes and follow routes that minimize disturbance—respect guide instructions and carry out waste.

Bring a headlamp with a red mode
A headlamp helps with pre- and post-paddle tasks without disturbing wildlife; red light preserves night vision.
Wear quick-dry shoes
You’ll likely step in shallow water during launches and exits—closed-toe, quick-dry footwear protects feet and grips wet ramps.
Check the access-fee dates
Some visitors must pay a €5 municipal access fee on certain days—verify before you travel to avoid surprises.
Follow your guide on wildlife etiquette
Keep distance from shorebirds and avoid loud noises to prevent disturbing nesting or roosting birds in the lagoon.
Waterproof jacket
A light, breathable waterproof keeps you warm and dry during cool nights or sudden spray.
Headlamp (red mode recommended)
Needed for safety before and after the trip and to read maps without blinding others.
Dry bag (small)
Protects phone, documents, and layers from splash and brief rain.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protects feet during launches and on wet stone ramps where traction matters.
