MOST POPULAR

Our easiest tour, and one of our most loved. Paddle along the cliffs of the Cabo de San Antonio marine reserve, where the water is so clear you can watch the fish beneath your kayak. Snorkel at wild Cala Tango, try a small jump from the rocks if you like, then glide into the Turquoise Cave – a cave our own guides discovered, where the water glows blue-green all around you.

Questions

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is Kayak Cala Tango suitable for beginners and children?

Yes – it's our easiest tour. Children from 4 years old can join with an adult, and everyone must be able to swim confidently. The guide teaches the basics before you launch.

What is the Turquoise Cave?

A sea cave between Cala Tango and the Isla de la Mona, found by Siesta Advisor's guides, where sunlight filtering through the water turns it a glowing turquoise. We paddle in when the sea allows.

Is there cliff jumping?

Yes, optional small jumps from low rocks at Cala Tango, only where the guide has checked the depth. You never have to jump.

When does Kayak Cala Tango run?

From 1 June to 15 October. Outside the season, try Kayak Granadella, Kayak Cova dels Orguens, Kayak Cova Tallada or Kayak Moraira.

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 Cabo de San Antonio; seahorses hide in the Posidonia seagrass but are very rarely seen. We never chase or touch wildlife.

Where do we meet?

At the Siesta Advisor Chiringuito on the Primer Montañar beach, next to our small beach bar. Search 'Siesta Advisor Chiringuito' in your GPS – and check it says Jávea, not Benidorm.

Good to know

Rated easy: perfect for first-timers and families. The guide teaches the basics on the beach before you launch. At Cala Tango you can snorkel and, if you want, jump from low rocks the guide has checked – jumping is always optional. You paddle a stable double kayak; snorkel mask, water shoes and life jackets are included. We provide a snorkel mask; guests who own a snorkel and mask they love are encouraged to bring them. Dry bags are available on request on the day, so just ask the team when you arrive. Wetsuits are included whenever the water is cold. Not sure whether you'll need one on your date? Call or message us and we'll tell you. Photos and videos of your tour are complimentary, shared in an online folder within 24 to 48 hours and kept for 180 days. The coast is part of a protected marine reserve: we don't touch or take anything. Season: 1 June – 15 October only (Henrik, 22 Oct 2026). Online booking for 2027 opens in spring; until then the page shows 'Reopens June 2027'. If the sea isn't suitable we contact you to reschedule or refund. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; changes within 24 hours cost €15 per participant; groups of 4 or more from June to September pay a 50% deposit. About 8–10 guests per guide, and usually two guides go out on each excursion. The safety briefing is given in Spanish and English, and in French or Dutch when a French- or Dutch-speaking guide is assigned to your group.
