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.

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.
