Stand up and see the sea from above. After a quick lesson on the beach you'll be gliding along the cliffs of the Cabo de San Antonio marine reserve, watching fish and seagrass pass beneath your board. Stop to snorkel in the clear water at Cala Tango, then paddle into the Turquoise Cave, where the water glows blue-green around you. First-timers find their feet faster than they expect.

“Best Summer Camp”

What an awesome week Sam had at the summer camp! Huge thanks to Arthur, Maria and Henry — you guys absolutely rocked it! 😄 Sam came back every day full of stories about kayaking, snorkeling, discovering secret little coves… honestly, he didn’t stop talking! He had the best time, made new friends, tried new things, and just had so much fun outdoors. We’re super grateful for the good vibes and the care you put into everything. Already looking forward to the next time!!! ☀️🏖️🏄

“Wonderful Cycling Tour!”

We had such a wonderful time on our cycling tour in Jávea with Siesta Advisor! We joined the Mirador Tour, which was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The route took us along the coast and through stunning viewpoints where we could really take in the beauty of Jávea — every stop seemed more breathtaking than the last!

“Amazing Experience!”

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!

“Beautiful Crystal Clear Waters”

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.

“Awesome Day Out”

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.

“Electric Bike Coastal Adventure”

I booked the 3 hour Electric bike coastal adventure for my visiting family. The tour consisted of cycling, hiking, snorkeling and swimming. Even though the group was made up of varing ages and abilities, Henrik, the guide was able to give each person the best experience, due to his professionalism, expertise, local knowledge, kindness and his ability to make everyone feel comfortable. Every member of my family said "brilliant" when asked how the tour went and described Henrik as "the best". I can highly recommend Siesta Advisor it's staff and the e-bike tour. Try it!

“Incredibly Accommodating and Supportive”

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.

Questions

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is paddle boarding hard?

Not with a lesson first: the guide teaches balance, paddling and turning on the beach, and you can kneel on the board until you feel ready to stand.

Where does the tour go?

From the Primer Montañar along the cliffs of the Cabo de San Antonio reserve to Cala Tango and into the Turquoise Cave, with a snorkelling stop.

Can children join?

Yes, from 4 years old with an adult. Everyone must be able to swim confidently.

Does it run in winter?

Yes, all year, sea conditions permitting.

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.

Paddle board or kayak?

Paddle boarding is more about balance and the view down into the water; kayaking covers more distance. Both tours go to Cala Tango – Kayak Cala Tango runs from 1 June to 15 October.

Good to know

The tour starts with a beginner-friendly lesson – balance, paddling and turning – so no experience is needed. Kneeling is fine until you feel ready to stand. 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. On some days we may run the route from another of our bases if the conditions are better there – we'll tell you in advance. 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 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.
