Kayak Cova dels Orguens

HIDDEN GEM

A real sea expedition along Jávea's wildest coast. Follow the cliffs south from Cala Granadella, past the Cova del Llop Marí, Cala Ambolo and the Pirates' Cave, until Cabo de la Nao towers above you – then paddle into the Cova dels Orguens, a cathedral of rock about 46 metres high, where scenes of Uncharted were filmed and a school of fish comes out to meet you.

Questions

FAQ

Frequently asked

Where is the Cova dels Orguens?

At the foot of Cabo de la Nao, Jávea's easternmost cape, below the lighthouse. It can only be reached by sea; we paddle there from Cala Granadella.

Where does the tour start?

At Cala Granadella, on the far left of the beach next to the fishing boats – the same meeting point as Kayak Granadella. It doesn't start at the Primer Montañar.

What will we see on the way?

The Cova del Llop Marí sea cave, Cala Ambolo, a beach you can only reach by sea, the Pirates' Cave and finally the Cova dels Orguens itself.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes, if you have a basic level of fitness: no kayak experience is needed and the guide teaches the basics on the beach. It's our longest Granadella route, so for small children or a first, shorter paddle choose Kayak Granadella.

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.

Does it run in winter?

Yes. From October to May we run Kayak Granadella, Kayak Cova dels Orguens, Kayak Cova Tallada and Kayak Moraira. Check availability online or on WhatsApp.

Good to know

This is the longest of our Granadella tours, so you need a basic level of fitness – the guide sets the pace for the group and there are breaks at the caves and coves. 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. Entering the caves, snorkelling and cliff jumping (where the guide allows) are all optional. The route depends on the sea: Cabo de la Nao is exposed, so on some days the guide shortens it or changes the order; if the sea isn't suitable we 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. The tour starts at Cala Granadella – not at the Primer Montañar. About 8–10 guests per guide, with two guides on each departure. 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.
