Description

Join our kayak and snorkeling tour for an unforgettable 2.5-hour adventure in the Natural Park “Los Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo”. Departing from our nautical area on La Herradura Beach, we paddle into one of the most beautiful protected coastal areas in Andalucía, famous for its dramatic cliffs, clear waters and rich marine life. With respect for the environment, we may enter the magical Cueva de la Paloma, taking care not to touch or disturb the rocks, plants or wildlife. Along the route, keep an eye out for mountain goats crossing the steep cliffs above the sea. This scenic route, mostly accessible only by water, offers a unique way to discover the natural park. Unlike many tours, we take hygiene seriously: all masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits and life jackets are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between every use. We’re also the only local tour providing full snorkel gear, including fins, for a more comfortable and complete snorkeling experience.

A must do when in the area!

Loved this trip - the guides were fun and very knowledgable. We had a scheduling issue and could not make the original booking but they were very flexible and gracious about rescheduling. Kayaking in the ocean as an excursion is a great way to see the local area. One drawback is that the "hut" that is the meeting place is on the beach and there is no place to change. Other then that would definitely recommend it.

Nice kayaking and snorkeling

Fun to do and great value for money! The English guide was well understood and actively involved many people in his explanation. Along the way we also saw 2 moonfish! We had to get up early but that was fine because it was quite hot later.
