Local by nature
Crystal Water Kayaks began in 2017 with a simple idea: let visitors experience Anse Source d’Argent without separating the adventure from the ecology that makes it possible.
The team combines local knowledge, water safety, geology, marine education and plenty of island energy in every tour.
