Kayak and snorkel excursion to Cova Tallada

Was a nice and funny experience

The kayaking excursion was flawless. I was really looking forward to it, and I didn't regret it at all! The instructor was polite and pleasant, spoke good English, and there were no communication issues. He patiently answered my questions over the course of two days. The excursion/tour itself was much better and more interesting than the boat trips offered from the port of Denia. It's perfect for an active holiday and admiring the natural beauty of the protected coastline!

A very nice and interesting tour and a very friendly and cool tour guide

The Cova Tallada kayak tour on 4 September was the highlight of our week in Dénia. I had never kayaked before and loved it. The guides are real professionals — careful with every detail, clear safety briefing, and all the equipment provided. Our guide David is a native English speaker and explained everything perfectly; the team makes you feel like you are out with friends. The cave and the guided walk inside with headlamps were fascinating, and the snorkelling in front of it was the best of our whole trip — I saw an octopus for the first time. They lend you a waterproof camera and sent the photos the same day. The sea was beautifully calm that morning (I should review the Mediterranean too 😉). Perfect for beginners. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. Everything perfect. Unbeatable

Fantastic kayak trip. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about marine life and local history. His tour through the cave was fascinating. Snacks of fresh fruit and pastries were provided. It was a great experience and I have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

🇳🇴 Norsk Vi hadde aldri gjort dette før, så vi var både spente og litt nervøse for om vi kom til å få det til. Guiden var veldig flink og viste oss hvordan vi skulle komme oss opp i kajakken og hvordan vi skulle padle allerede på land før turen startet. Kajakkene var veldig stabile, og det var mye enklere å padle enn vi hadde trodd. Underveis stoppet vi flere ganger, og guiden fortalte spennende historier om området. Vi padlet inn i en grotte hvor vi fikk en guidet tur, vi fikk servert mat, tok mange fine bilder og fikk snorkle blant fiskene før vi padlet tilbake. Guiden var morsom, hyggelig og gjorde hele opplevelsen enda bedre. Alt i alt en fantastisk tur for både voksne og barn. Vi anbefaler dette på det varmeste! Tusen takk for en flott opplevelse! 🤩 ⸻ 🇬🇧 English This was our first time kayaking, so we were both excited and a little nervous about whether we would manage it. Our guide explained everything really well before we started, showing us how to get into the kayak and how to paddle while we were still on land. The kayaks were very stable and much easier to paddle than we expected. During the tour we stopped several times while our guide shared interesting stories about the area. We paddled into a cave where we had a guided visit, enjoyed some food, took lots of great photos, and even got to snorkel with fish before paddling back. Our guide was funny, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an amazing trip for both adults and children. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🤩 ⸻ 🇪🇸 Español Era la primera vez que hacíamos kayak, así que estábamos muy emocionados y también un poco nerviosos por si no lo conseguíamos. Nuestro guía nos explicó todo muy bien antes de empezar, enseñándonos cómo subir al kayak y cómo remar mientras aún estábamos en tierra. Los kayaks eran muy estables y remar fue mucho más fácil de lo que esperábamos. Durante la excursión hicimos varias paradas donde el guía nos contó historias muy interesantes sobre la zona. También entramos remando en una cueva, donde disfrutamos de una visita guiada, comimos algo, hicimos muchas fotos y pudimos hacer snorkel entre los peces antes de regresar remando. Nuestro guía era muy simpático, divertido y hizo que toda la experiencia fuera aún mejor. En resumen, fue una excursión fantástica tanto para adultos como para niños. ¡La recomendamos totalmente! ¡Muchas gracias por una experiencia inolvidable! 🤩

I have had the pleasure of using Samuel / Aventura Pata Negra several times and they are fantastic. They are one of the few "Kayak" tour operators that actually have real Sea Kayaks! (Sit 'in' rather than those you sit 'On' for the snorkel brigade). But, yes, he has snorkels as well, and torches for the darker caves! If you have a little bit of experience, Samuel will take you a dozen kilometres around different stretch of the Costa Blanca coastline (the rocky bits!). Unforgettable experiences. Samuel knows everything about this coastline and so is, first, very safe but also a consummate professional with his guiding knowledge and expertise. Every cave and/or landmark is explored (conditions permitting). And then he'll produce a great snack lunch too before paddling back to the launch point. I use to suggest that his kayaks were 'OK' rather then 'Good' but on this most recent trip several of the Kayaks we used were Excellent. So, full marks. Well deserved. I'm already booking our fifth trip with him for later in the year.

The kayak trip was great: everything was very well organized and the tour was beautiful, varied and fun, ideal to enjoy the environment. Pity, our guide, made the experience even better. He told us very interesting curiosities, created a close and pleasant atmosphere and, in addition, made us some beautiful photos to remember the moment. He was always attentive to everything. Undoubtedly, a very complete and highly recommended activity.

Very nice tour, and very kind guides! The guides told us a lot about the history of the cave and about the beautiful fishes! Would definitely do it again!
