Great time kayaking with 2 kids in Alcudia. 2 hours in the calm waters to explore the great scenery. Lifejackets supplied to children and free lockers available for belongings. If ever back in Alcudia wouldn't hesitate to return.
A great option for small groups, this Big Paddle rental offers an active and light-hearted way to spend time on the water together. Designed for up to 8 people, it’s ideal for those looking to try something different that combines paddling with teamwork and plenty of laughs.
Once your group arrives at the beach base, you’ll receive a quick safety and technique briefing. The team will go over how to paddle together, how to keep the board balanced, and how to communicate effectively while on the water. You’ll also be fitted with a buoyancy aid and provided with paddles suited to the board size and group set-up. With everyone ready, you’ll launch directly from the beach into the bay of Alcúdia.
Depending on how long you’ve booked, you’ll have time to paddle across the shallows, explore a section of the bay, or just enjoy playing around near the beach. The Big Paddle is very stable, so it’s suitable even for younger paddlers or those with little experience. Groups tend to develop their own rhythm and often spend just as much time laughing as they do moving forward. Whether you're out for 1 or 2 hours, it’s a great way to enjoy the water in a shared, non-competitive setting.
The activity is based at Port d’Alcúdia, located on the northern coast of Mallorca. This area is famous for its wide, sandy beaches and the calm, shallow waters of Alcudia Bay, providing an ideal environment for group paddleboarding. The sheltered coastline protects the bay from strong waves and currents, creating safe conditions suitable for all skill levels and ages. The beachside base offers easy access to the water, so launching your Big Paddle is quick and hassle-free.
Nearby, you’ll find plenty of facilities to complement your day on the water, including cafés, restaurants, and parking areas. The town of Alcúdia is just a short walk away, featuring shops and local attractions to explore before or after your paddle session. This location combines natural beauty with convenience, making it a popular spot for families, groups, and visitors seeking a relaxed yet active experience by the sea.
There’s no need for prior experience—this activity is designed to be accessible for everyone. All participants must be able to swim, and under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. The staff provide a clear briefing at the start and will assist your group with launching and returning to shore.
It’s best to bring swimwear, a towel, and sun protection, as the board is fully exposed to the elements. Wetsuits aren’t usually needed during the summer months but can be useful if the wind picks up or it’s a cooler day.
The centre is known for offering well-run, inclusive water sports activities in a welcoming and relaxed setting. The Big Paddle rental is one of their most popular group options thanks to its mix of fun, exercise, and shared challenge. Equipment is kept in excellent condition, and the team is always on hand to make sure your group gets the most out of the experience.
Groups often comment on how much fun they had and how easy it was to get going—even those who weren’t sure at first. Whether it’s a one-off activity or part of a bigger day out, the Big Paddle is a great way to bring people together on the water.
Yes, hotel pick-up is available for guests staying in the northern part of Mallorca. This includes Puerto Pollença, Alcudia, Port of Alcudia, Muro Beaches, and Can Picafort. Transport is available for groups of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 people. This service is designed to make your experience more convenient, particularly if you’re staying nearby but not directly within walking distance of the port.
To arrange hotel pick up, please contact us via the adventuro chat.
You’ll have access to full on-site facilities, including changing rooms, toilets, and secure lockers for your belongings. This makes it easy to change in and out of your gear before and after your session, without needing to arrive already prepared. The facilities are kept clean and well-maintained for your comfort and convenience.
As part of the activity, all necessary safety and technical equipment is provided. This includes professional-grade nautical equipment, buoyancy vests, and insurance cover for both liability and accidents. The aim is to provide a safe, comfortable, and well-supported experience from start to finish, with everything you need available on-site.
If weather conditions on the day of your reservation prevent the activity from going ahead, there’s no need to worry. Your booking is flexible, and the team will work with you to reschedule for another available slot before the end of your holiday. This means you won’t miss out due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control.
Mallorca’s weather can change quickly, but safety is always the priority. If the forecast poses any risk or would negatively impact the quality of the session, the activity will be postponed. In most cases, an alternative day can be found, and you’ll be informed in plenty of time if there’s any need to rearrange.
The activity takes place in a designated area within the bay at Port d’Alcudia, which is known for its calm waters and scenic surroundings. There’s a clearly marked nautical channel that ensures a safe and organised area for watersports. This location allows for a safe and enjoyable experience regardless of your ability level, making it suitable for most participants.
The full address is Paseo Marítimo, 1, 07400 Port d’Alcudia, on the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. The port area is easy to access and well-equipped, with nearby cafes and facilities if you want to relax before or after your session. The calm conditions of the bay also make it an ideal location for first-time participants or those looking to build confidence on the water.
To get the most out of your session, it's recommended to come prepared with a few basic items. You’ll need a swimsuit, a cap or visor for sun protection, sunglasses, and sunscreen to help protect against the midday heat. A towel is also a good idea for drying off afterwards, especially if you’re planning to change at the on-site facilities.
For your feet, bring water shoes such as flip-flops, aqua booties or other non-slip footwear. This will help you move comfortably around the shore and equipment area, especially if surfaces are wet or uneven. Staying hydrated is also important, so bringing a water bottle is advisable, particularly on hotter days.
The Big Paddle is designed to accommodate between 4 and 8 people comfortably. This makes it perfect for families, groups of friends, or team-building events where everyone can participate together on a single board. The wide and stable design ensures that all paddlers have enough space to move and paddle without feeling cramped, creating a fun, shared experience on the water.
Groups larger than eight will need to split into multiple boards, but the centre can usually arrange this with advance notice. Having everyone on one board encourages communication and teamwork, which adds to the overall enjoyment and challenge of the activity.
No prior experience is required to enjoy the Big Paddle. The activity is designed to be accessible and fun for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those who have paddled before. Before you head out, the team will give your group a thorough briefing covering how to paddle in sync, maintain balance on the board, and communicate effectively on the water.
While no lessons are included, the staff remain nearby throughout your session to offer advice and assistance if needed. This ensures that everyone feels safe and supported, regardless of their previous experience with paddle sports.
