Kayak Safaris
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).
We use the "sit on" style of kayak suitable for those new to kayaking and also fun for those who have been before. All trips are private and are scheduled on demand, 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 16 should normally be accompanied by an adult, however, exceptions are possible.
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! Various other destinations and itineraries are also possible. Experienced kayakers can take a trip to the Calblanque National Park or onto the Mediterranean.

"...
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. Peter & Anna Church, August 2007 |
