Voyage Kayak Reviews 

This was my second adventure with Julien.
The first was outstanding and the second did not disappoint.
Julien went out of his way to make us comfortable with the travel arrangements and eagerly answered all of our questions. The accommodations, including the boat were excellent. The boat crew very attentive to our every need and request.
The Kayaking experience met all of our expectations and a lot more. Snorkeling was amazing and well beyond our expectations.
Julien was able to manage everyones varied ability but did not limit the experience for the more fit and experienced of us.
I would recommend this trip without hesitation.

Excellent fresh, delicious food at every meal, often caught from the sea! Excellent comfortable, spacious accommodation. Delightful, helpful, friendly staff.
Every day was an adventure as the weather & seas had to be agreeable with our planned excursions/paddling. There was plan A,B,C & sometimes D, depending on the currents & weather. Our safety always being the main priority! The snorkeling was world class! From hiking to seeing Komodo dragons..a world class trip for sure!

The crew were amazing. Food excellent. Snorkeling out of this world.
Kayaking was good but not as exciting as Corsica. And I found the accommodation clean and roomy.
I did struggle with how noisy the boat’s motor was. Especially at night.
All in all a great experience. I would (and have) recommend Voyage Kayak to my friends.

This was our second kayaking trip with Julien as we had previously done the Corsica Trip and some of our group members did the Sardinia kayak trip.
Upon arrival in Flores we were greeted by Julien and driven to our pre–booked accommodation, which was comfortable and clean.
The next day our group of 8 joined the traditional Indonesian boat, our home for the next 12 days. The accommodation is simple and clean and we were looked after extremely well by the crew of about 8 local Indonesian staff and we felt extremely safe during the entire trip and during our daily kayak excursions.
The daily snorkelling was an amazing experience with a colourful variety of corals and fish and easy the highlight of the entire trip.
Our group definitely enjoyed this adventure very much. It was a great experience in a remote part of Indonesia, which was a privilege to be in.

Amazing trip with the amazing guide Julien. He has so much knowledge that he freely shares with his guests as well as making sure that we get to enjoy local delicacies.

From our first contact with Julien to the last our experience on our trip around Sardinia was perfect. Every day’s experience exceeded the day before despite challenging wind and weather conditions. It was easy to put our full trust in Julien’s judgement as plans changed as needed. Every moment was memorable, from meals, sailing, exploring the islands by foot, or learning from Julien’s incredible wealth of knowledge.
The rock formations of Sardinia and Corsica are so unique, and beside the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea they offer a beauty not seen in any other part of the world.
Would I recommend this trip? Absolutely and without any reservations.
Thank you Julien for an incredible trip filled with unforgettable memories, and to Phillipe (our captain) for your expertise, stories, and for letting Chris take the helm!

The entire trip was very well done including excellent kayaking gear, comfortable accommodations and delicious meals. During the very windy week, the guide changed our itinerary to find more protected places for our paddle trips. The scenery and the company were delightful. I highly recommend this trip.

Thanks for VoyageKayak and Julien and JB in taking care of us in the week of our kayak trip. It’s been an amazing journey and the skills of kayaking and strength of Julien is awesome 😎. We are glad to be the first one from Hong Kong, and even from Asian, to participate in this wonderful cross cultural kayaking experience.

Also wish to thanks for the great organic/ healthy food that were brought on board, and let us taste different Mediterranean and Corsican style cuisine.

Great team and everyone are so nice 😊

Despite the kayaking journey comes to an end, but the experience of reuniting with the nature has just begin for me. Inspired by the trip leader Julien, the time in close contact with the Corsican area, susceptible to disruption by the strong Mediterranean north west monsoon, and the amazingly unexpected calmness in the sea after turning from the rough ocean waves before passing through different capes, brought us back to the reliance and awareness of the mother nature’s power.

In the journey, apart from the enhancement of the kayaking skills, it’s the cross cultural encounter which I treasured. Being in very close contact in one whole week on the catamaran, everyone was respectful to one another in many aspects. Firstly, the respect of the house rules to keep the boat running under limited resources (esp. fresh water). Secondly, to keep out of salt and moisture from the indoor cabin. Thirdly, to be careful in the use of all top and professional gears (sea kayak with rudder and skeg, hand pumps and sponge for removal of sea water from the cockpit) that Julien arranged for us.

Finally, it’s the enjoyment of Corsican and Mediterranean style crusine prepared by Julien that became an important enjoyment throughout the trip.

As the leader of this canoe trip, our trip leader, Julien, demonstrated a very broad range of knowledge.

1. First of all, a high degree of familiarity with the geographical environment, water flow, wind direction, etc. through which the trip will pass.
2. Physical strength, endurance and rowing skills are superb
3. Nutrition, prepare suitable food, calculate the amount of exercise and calories required and bring enough food and supplies.
4. Julien even served us good meals each night, including Mediterranean-style food, or some simple food that can be easily stored in the canoe
5. Adaptability to respond to maritime crises.

And one person's knowledge is always limited, so the team leader found another assistant, JB, who is also a sports enthusiast to assist him as the captain of the catamaran. JB has a wealth of sailing knowledge and is very knowledgeable about the operation of the catamaran. The principle of being able to hold a sail is also a set of tips for choosing a suitable place to rest at night.

Once again, I would like to express my appreciation for Julien’s arrangement of this trip which was wonderful!

That's full of enjoyment during the 7 days of stay in catamaran. An excellent experience is that to kayaking with our good teammates. Specially thanks to our team leader Julien and Captain GB.
I learned a lot from this trip for no matter about the kayaking skills and equipment, the crusine etc.
Always remember this precious and beautiful moment.

Kayak guide Julien and catamaran skipper, Phillip became family to us due to their care, expertise, and thoughtfulness. They are easy and kind people, flexible, and accommodating. We had 3 days of untypical wind/rain/surf, so they took us hiking, exploring villages, kept us in safe harbor, and were lovely companions and mates. They were concerned about the limited kayaking and long travel days to safe harbor, but for us, we loved being on a boat. We enjoyed every day and learning about Corsica. Thank you both and hope to see you on another tour!

In November 2019, I went with Julien from Voyage Kayak to the Raja Ampat islands in Indonesia. It is a stunning & beautiful part of the world and it was a real privilege to see such an unspoilt part of the world.

Julien's kayaking trip was extremely well-organised and as an experienced kayaking instructor, his judgement was sound and the safety protocols he put in place, were reassuring in such a remote part of the world.
With extensive knowledge of the area and the waters around the islands, Julien was able to show us some real hidden gems. Add to that, frequent opportunities to snorkel and some of the most diverse marine life and corals I've ever seen, every day was a treat.

Staying in local homestays added to the richness of the trip, meeting some lovely people, eating great food & seeing local culture.

As soon as I got home, I wanted to go back!

La passion au service de l’excellence!
