We'll show you how to paddle before you launch, then point out the rocks, wildlife and old stories as you go. We pick the day's start village from the wind, so you might meet us somewhere different from last time. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 3 hours Difficulty: Moderate, paced for mixed abilities Season: Late April to mid-October Languages: Spanish and English Meeting point: You will receive the exact meeting point via WhatsApp the day before the excursion (there is no single meeting point). It could be La Fabriquilla or La Cala del Cuervo. 🏄 What to Expect We'll meet you on the beach, kit you out with a buoyancy aid and paddle, and run through the basics: how to sit, how to paddle, and what to do if you fall in. You'll share a tandem kayak with one, two or three other people depending on who you've come with, and we'll brief you in Spanish and English if the group is mixed. Then we carry the boats down and paddle off together, hugging the cliffs and stopping now and then for a rest and a look around. If the water is calm we'll take you into sea caves and around the volcanic reefs, and we'll check each cave before anyone goes in. Halfway along we pull in for a drink, a swim and a snorkel over the seagrass. Then we paddle back the way we came and land on the same beach. The whole thing takes about three hours, and we'll put the day's photos up afterwards so you can download them. 📍 Location This is the Almeria end of Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park: dry hills, pale beaches and dark volcanic rock dropping into clear water. A lot of the coves and cave mouths are easier to reach from a kayak than from the cliff path. We launch from La Fabriquilla or Las Negras, depending on the wind and swell that morning. We'll tell you which village in your confirmation. Every route is a loop, so you finish where you started. We don't offer hotel pickup. ✅ Prerequisites You don't need any kayaking experience. You do need to be able to swim and be happy on the water for about three hours. We use tandem 2+2 kayaks, so two adults, three adults, or two adults and two children can share a boat, as long as each person is within 120 kg and the kayak stays within 260 kg. Adult (11-75 years) can paddle in their own seat (select adult). Child (4-10 years) can sit in the middle when it's calm (select child). Let us know before you arrive if any… ### Essential information Know before you go: You book the day and time, but you must be willing to accept any route and meeting point You must provide an operating WhatsApp contact number with the international code when booking You will receive the exact meeting point by WhatsApp the day before the tour The meeting point and route are subject to the wind the day of the tour You must be able to swim and paddle You can bring your own snorkeling equipment and if the weather allows it you will be able to enjoy some snorkeling ### What’s included About three hours of guided sea kayaking, with a snorkel stop if the water is calm enough Kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid Mask and snorkel Short technique and safety briefing before you launch Stories about the rocks, wildlife and history as you go Bottle of water Photo report to download afterwards Public liability and accident insurance ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Food and extra drinks Wetsuit (available on request in cooler months) Dry bag (available on request) Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Swimwear and a towel A top to wear under the buoyancy aid Shoes that can get wet Sun cream, a hat and sunglasses Dry clothes for afterwards ## FAQs ### Do I need kayaking experience? Not at all. We'll show you how to sit, how to paddle and what to do if you fall in, then we keep the pace easy so first-timers can enjoy it. You do need to be able to swim and be happy on the water for about three hours. If tight cave mouths make you nervous, tell us on the beach and we'll stay out in the open. ### How long does the outing last? About three hours, including the briefing, the paddle, a few stops to look around, a swim or snorkel if the water is calm, and the paddle back to the same beach. Wind, swell and how the group is getting on can make it a bit shorter or a bit longer. Three hours is the usual shape of the day, not a stopwatch. ### Where do we meet? We'll tell you the day's village in your confirmation. That can be La Fabriquilla, Las Negras, Agua Amarga, Los Escullos or San José, depending on the wind and swell. There's no hotel pickup, so put the village we send you into your satnav rather than heading to a cove from last time. Give yourself a few extra minutes for kit and the briefing. ### Can I choose the route? We pick the route from the wind that morning. The usual loops are Las Negras to El Playazo, La Fabriquilla to Arrecife de las Sirenas, Agua Amarga to Punta de la Media Naranja, Los Escullos to Punta de Loma Pelada, and San José to Cala Tomate. Moving village or changing the order of stops is how we keep you in sheltered water. You still finish where you started. ### What is the minimum age? Little ones can come when it's calm, sitting in the middle of a tandem kayak. From about seven they can paddle in their own seat, and they usually have more fun that way. Every child needs an adult with them. If you've got very young kids, tell us their ages before you arrive so we can seat everyone safely. ### How many people share a kayak? They're tandem 2+2 kayaks. Two people, three people, or two adults and two children can share one boat, as long as the weight stays within the limit. We don't have singles. We'll sort odd numbers and mixed ages on the beach. You might share the water with another group, and if people speak different languages we'll brief in Spanish and English. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel, a top to wear under the buoyancy aid, shoes that can get wet, sun cream, a hat and sunglasses. A dry change of clothes for afterwards is a good idea. We provide the kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, mask and snorkel. Ask us beforehand if you'd like a wetsuit in cooler months or a dry bag for a phone. ### What happens if the wind is up? A bit of wind, cloud or swell doesn't mean we stay on the beach. We'll move the launch or the route to keep you in safer water. If the sea really isn't safe, we'll get in touch and offer another time or a different village. Light rain is often fine, so don't write the morning off just because it's grey. Only drive to the village we've given you that day. ### Do the guides speak English? Yes. All of our guides speak English. If the group is mixed, we'll do the briefing and the stories in both Spanish and English so nobody is left guessing. Asking for English doesn't make it a private trip. You might still share the water with another group, with us talking in both languages as we go. ### What is included in the session? You get the kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, mask, snorkel, a bottle of water, the briefing, the guided paddle and a photo report to download later. Accident and public liability insurance are included. You'll need to get yourself to the meeting point. Lunch and extra drinks aren't included. A wetsuit or dry bag can be requested if you want one. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2dx0ac-scaled.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
