Top picks · GRAN CANARIA KAYAKING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend who paddles: 7 gran canaria kayaking tours worth the money, each with its price, its time afloat and the one thing to know before you commit.
Paddle a two-seat kayak along Gran Canaria’s volcanic coast with local guides Pablo or Paul. Enter Mogán’s sea caves, swim through tunnels when conditions allow, snorkel over rocky reefs, and choose cliff jumps up to 5 meters. This 3 to 4 hour trip suits confident swimmers aged 16 to 55 with a good fitness level.
“Everything was great and the guide Pablo was the best 🙂”
Paddle from Taurito Beach with Yukan Outdoor Gran Canaria guides such as Manuel and Ari, entering volcanic sea caves and stopping at a quiet beach for snorkeling. You’ll see fish, may swim through caves, and can choose from several cliff-jump heights. Kayaking takes effort, so bring swimwear, a towel, water, and biodegradable sunscreen.
