How do you get to Cala en Caló?
Only by sea: it's hidden behind an island and there's no path down. We paddle there from Cala Granadella – about 1.5 km and 30 minutes. Swimming there from Granadella isn't recommended: it's too far and boats pass.
What's the difference from Kayak Granadella?
Kayak Granadella is our classic 3-hour tour of the highlights (Blue Lagoon, Cova del Llop Marí, Cala en Caló and Cala Ambolo). Kayak Cala en Caló focuses on one place: more time snorkelling in the cove and its sea cave, and exploring around the Isla del Descubridor.
Can we swim into the sea cave?
Yes, if the sea allows: it's about a 20-metre swim, about five at a time, always with your guide. It's optional – you can stay outside and snorkel the cove.
When is the best time for Cala en Caló?
May, June, September and October: warm water and quieter coves. In July and August come early – the road to Granadella is busy.
What marine life will we see?
Around the rocks: white seabream, shoals of salema, painted comber, rainbow wrasse, octopus, moray eels, starfish and sea urchins. Rare, lucky sightings: dolphins and, in early summer, fin whales passing the capes; seahorses hide in the Posidonia seagrass but are very rarely seen. We never chase or touch wildlife.
Is it suitable for children?
From 4 years old with an adult, but it suits confident swimmers best because most of the tour is spent in the water. For younger or less confident children, Kayak Granadella is the better choice.
