Island Explorer Kerkennah - Tunisia 09.-18.11. 2026
About this tour
What if your next journey was not about ticking places off a list, but about discovering a place together? There is a white spot on my personal Tunisia map.
Kerkennah
For years, I have had this archipelago in the Gulf of Gabès on my radar. I have travelled extensively through Tunisia – from the Sahara and the Dahar Mountains to Djerba and Tunis – but Kerkennah is one place I have never visited.
On 11 November 2026, I am heading south from Tunis for seven days on Kerkennah.
And I am looking for one more Explorer to join me.
Who is this experience for?
This journey is for you if you are curious about a different side of Tunisia.
If you prefer experiencing over sightseeing.
If you like travelling slowly, meeting people, tasting local food and discovering how everyday life unfolds away from the classic tourist routes.
And if you enjoy the idea that not everything is planned down to the last detail.
Because this is an exploration – for you and for me.
I know Tunisia very well. But I don't know Kerkennah yet.
And that is exactly what makes this journey special.
What will you discover?
Explore the islands, walk through villages, follow the coastline, meet local people and discover the rhythm of island life. One experience I am particularly looking forward to is Charfia fishing – a traditional fishing method using palm-frond barriers to guide fish into shallow-water traps.
It is much more than a fishing technique. It is knowledge passed down through generations and deeply connected to the sea, the tides and the life of the islanders.
This is not a standard Tunisia tour. It is a small-scale journey with just three Explorers – travelling together, staying curious and leaving room for encounters and unexpected discoveries.
If you want to discover Kerkennah with me – for the first time, send me a message.
Maybe this white spot on my map is waiting to become part of your story, too.
