Start beside the white fishermen's cottages and blue doors of Cala Portixol and paddle to Cala el Pom, a cove you can only reach by sea, with its own sea cave. Thread through the tunnel in the rock of Cap Negre, beneath a cliff over 100 metres high, and finish at the Isla del Portitxol, whose cave frames the whole bay like a window. This tour is currently unavailable: see our other kayak tours in Jávea.

Fantastic adventure for our family of three - our 8 year old Sebi loved it, especially the cave and jumping from the cliff. Thank you to Tom for looking after us, awesome guides. Professionally run and very informative with their guide! We will be back and Sebi would like a job in 10 years time please!! 🙏 🌊💪☀️❤️💛❤️
We had a fantastic kayak tour in Granadella today with William. He is a great guide, very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He made us feel safe while showing us the beautiful caves and coastline. A memorable experience, highly recommended!
What an amazing experience! The kayak tour with Siesta Advisor was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Our guides, Luc and Callum, were super friendly, enthusiastic, and created a great atmosphere from the very beginning. They gave clear instructions, made sure everyone felt comfortable, and shared lots of interesting information along the way. The surroundings were beautiful and the kayaking itself was so much fun. One of the best moments was definitely jumping off a cliff — a little scary, but incredibly exciting and something that made the tour even more memorable!
We took a group of six on the Kayak Cala Tango trip at 8.30am and it was fantastic! Our tour guides were superb, fluent in three languages and looked after the entire group of about twenty paddlers amazingly well. Beautiful crystal clear waters, fabulous coastline and a good workout to get the day going! Great value for money, highly recommended.
Had an awesome time out on the water with Siesta Advisor. The whole tour was super chilled and such a fun way to see a different side of the coastline – the water was insanely clear, and getting to explore the caves was a real highlight. Big shoutout to William and David, who made the day even better. They were both so easygoing and fun, and just made the whole group feel included the whole time. You could tell they knew the area inside out, and they were great at pointing things out along the way without overloading it with info – just the right balance.
Yet another incredible kayaking tour given for my Javea fitness team... they're always well planned & ready for us at siesta advisor, our huge 38 strong team event is a big group to manage... thanks guys! See u again very soon ♡
I never leave a review but I recently had an incredible experience with Siesta Advisor, a fantastic kayaking company that truly exceeded my expectations! From the get-go, their team was incredibly accommodating and supportive, especially when we faced some difficulties getting to our destination. They were not only patient but also went out of their way to assist us, ensuring we made the most of our kayaking adventure. One of the highlights of my experience was how they graciously rescheduled our class to a more convenient time. This flexibility made a huge difference, allowing us to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
This is one of the best experiences we had in Spain on this trip. We were able to do kayaking, swimming in the caves and on beanches, snorkeling, and rock diving in a little over two and a half hours. The water was so clear and calm so we were able to see a lot of creatures under the water. The guides for our tour were Mason and Thomas, both were excellent and very professional. We will definitely come back again.

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.
Paid parking at the cove (€9 a day, about 100 spaces) fills very early in summer; you can also park up top by the Creu del Portitxol and walk the 10-minute forest path.
