“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.

The full story

About this experience

Surfing in Javea is extremely unique and exquisite, with the Arenal (the main sandy beach of Javea), being perfect for when the waves start rolling in. It's pearl shape perfectly pushes up the water and forms smooth and steady waves. On top of that, surfing in Javea is a bit of a spectacle, where you can expect hundreds of people to be watching you whilst you catch some waves, so be prepared to put on a performance! 

Why I personally love surfing

I love surfing because I find in it a great metaphor for life. People, opportunities, experiences and days are like waves... some are worth riding, some are worth chasing, and some are worth simply ignoring and passing. Some waves will bring you incredible joy, whilst others will hit you hard and leave you speechless. And some days waves may not come at all, but its the acceptance of this fact that's important. Nonetheless, just when you least expect it, the most divine and special wave creeps upon you, offering you indescribable feelings of freedom, making you feel alive and connected to yourself and everything around you. And waves are just like moments, not to be taken for granted, but rather accepted and made the most of.

Why should I go surfing in Javea?

First of all, it is great exercise! When you're surfing, you're using every part of your body, gaining both muscle tone and strength. On top of that, surfing is an aerobic activity, significantly improving your cardiovascular system! But what's best is that you won't even realise that you're exercising because you'll be having too good of a time! The incomparable atmosphere of splashing sea water, the contrast of fresh water and warm sun, the beautiful beach and all those surrounding you makes this one of the most unique activities to do whilst in Javea.

What can I expect to learn from surfing?

Not only will you be able to practice a form of exercise that works your entire body, but you'll learn far more than just how to catch a waves and how to paddle. Surfing in Javea will teach you additional things about the ocean you might not have known before, like currents, swells, types of surf breaks, and an overall better understanding of the sea. As you learn how to surf, you'll also feel extreme amounts of self-satisfaction as you persevere through challenging surf sessions, all whilst you feel a part of a community of surfers and make friendships that'll last for a lifetime!
