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.
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."
