Meet the guides, instructors, operations team and people behind Siesta Advisor. Local knowledge, professional qualifications and years of experience come together to make every adventure safe, memorable and genuinely personal.
Our kayak guides are trained to the standards of the American Canoe Association, one of the most established paddlesports bodies in the world: technique, rescue, group leadership and decisions when conditions change. Every guide also holds a current first aid certificate. You are led by trained professionals, not just good paddlers.
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management and ISO 14001 the standard for environmental management. Certification means the way we plan, run and review every activity, and the way we look after the coastline we work on, is written down, followed and checked by an independent auditor.
I work on the growth, development and strategy behind Siesta Advisor, but I’m just as happy swapping the laptop for a kayak or surfboard. I also lead our team’s safety and technical training, making sure the adventure side of what we do keeps getting better and safer.
I swapped the fast-paced world of finance and stock exchanges for the Mediterranean lifestyle in Jávea. These days, I’m focused on growing Siesta Advisor, developing the company and making sure we never lose sight of what made it special in the first place.
I’m usually one of the first people at the Chiringuito in the morning, getting everything ready before the adventures begin. Early starts, Mediterranean sunrises and keeping everything organised, that’s pretty much my territory!
If I’m not out guiding a kayak tour, I’m probably somewhere outdoors looking for the next adventure… or finding something to eat before it starts! Give me water, nature and a little bit of adrenaline and I’m happy.
I’m one of the people making sure the team, equipment and kayaks actually end up where they’re supposed to be! You’ll usually find me around Cala Granadella, behind the wheel, or jumping in wherever the team needs an extra pair of hands.
I’m one of the people keeping everything organised behind the scenes, from bookings and customer questions to making sure everyone knows where they’re supposed to be!
I work across the people, numbers and creative side of Siesta Advisor, from HR and finances to marketing and content. When I’m not behind the laptop or camera, you’ll usually find me on a paddle board or heading out on one of our e-bike tours!
I’ve been part of Siesta Advisor since 2021, helping keep the day-to-day operation running smoothly. I’m happiest outdoors, especially around the water, and there’s rarely a dull day when you’re responsible for keeping Siesta moving!
Professional paddlesports training you can trust
Our kayak guides receive professional training aligned with the standards of the American Canoe Association (ACA), one of the world’s most established and internationally recognised paddlesports organisations.
When you book with Siesta Advisor, you are not simply going out with someone who knows how to kayak. You are being guided by professionals trained to recognised paddlesports and safety standards.
