The lagoon of the Mar Menor has many islands and beaches which can only be accessed via the water.  Since the water is very shallow in many areas, kayaks provide the ideal vehicle to explore.  We will take you on a an excursion adapted to suit your fitness and ability.  We can also go bird watching or snorkelling (depending upon the time of year).

Our Kayaks
We use "sit on" style kayaks which are suitable for those new to kayaking and also fun for those who have been before.   We run private safaris which are scheduled on demand, we also run a number of open enrolment safaris throughout the year;  the maximum group size is 12.

The kayaks are very stable and comfortable and the double seaters are particularly suitable for parents with children.  Safaris are suitable for children age 5 and above.  Children under the age of 14 should normally be accompanied by an adult, however exceptions are possible.

Safari Routes
The exact route of a Kayak Safari will be determined on the day depending on wind and weather conditions.  The amount of time spent paddling and snorkelling is entirely up to you.  We take all our trips at your pace!  We run most of our Kayak Safaris on the Mar Menor which is very safe, warm and shallow.  Experienced kayakers can take a trip to various Mediterranean beaches or even the Calblanque National Park.

"... just a short note to tell you how much fun we had on our kayak safari, both the children really enjoyed it and definitely want to try a longer trip next time. Your introduction to snorkelling was fantastic and on the back of you sharing your knowledge of where to find the different types of fish (and a trip to decathlon) we spent many hours snorkelling on the beach at Mar de Cristal. We already shared our enthusiasm for the kayak safari with some other families staying on the same complex and I would have no hesitation recommending you to anyone staying in the area."

Private Kayak Safari Descriptions

We run private safaris for individuals, couples, families or small groups. These can be scheduled whenever you want.

Beach Safari 2 Hours	This trip is ideal for groups that include children under the age of 8 or those who have never been kayaking before. We will paddle to a nearby beach where we can stop to go snorkelling or swimming.  We take maps and animal identification charts with us so you can learn about the area and it's wildlife.
Island / Explorer Safari 3 Hours	Great for adults or families with teenage children. The extra time allows us to explore a little further and see more of the Mar Menor.  We often visit an island during this trip where we can climb to the top of a hill and get a great view of the area (see photos above).  We also have some time to snorkel and swim.
Adventure Safari 4 Hours	Ideal for those who are relatively fit and want to get some exercise.  This trip is not available during August. We can visit an island on the Mar Menor and if the sea is calm head out onto the Mediterranean.  Alternatively we can take the kayaks to the Calblanque Natural Park or Cabo de Palos where we can explore the beautiful scenery and enjoy some wave surfing.  We can schedule this trip to allow for a stop for a snack or coffee at a beachside café.

Open Enrolment Kayak Safaris

Throughout the season we regularly run Island Kayak Safaris where you can join in with a group. 
For our next date please see the side banner on our home page.

Island / Explorer Safari 3 Hours 10am-1pm

This event is suitable for virtually anyone who is reasonably fit and active.  We have a variety of single and double kayaks and encourage everyone to have a go in both types.  The singles require more stamina while the doubles some level of teamwork and coordination! The safari involves some instruction on the beach and then an excursion to one of the islands* on the Mar Menor with a chance to go snorkelling and explore the wildlife.  We provide further instruction while you are on the water as necessary.

Notes: *The exact route taken will depend upon the wind direction that day. The minimum age for these open events is 8 years. All children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult with whom they can share a double kayak. All places must be booked and paid for in advance. The event is open to a maximum of 8 participants.
