Nice trip, good for beginners. Nice route choice along the beach near Las Palmas. I would describe the effort level as easy. Our guide Pablo explained all relevant basics realy good and fast, hence the kajak tour started realy quickly. He showed us some nice spots and explained a little island backgrounds, the fish we later on could see during the snorkling and gave a lot of tips. He was always close by and checked that we never get carried away or something during the snorkling. Realy nice. We can recommend it as funny beginners Kajak tour with some nice extras.

This was the greates adventure we had during our trip to Gran Canaria. We did not expect that level of excitement. The overall effort level is medium, but mostly due to the adrenaline. It takes some balls to do the trip, but our guide Pablo always provided enough safety precautions. We really loved this tour and we can recommend it to everyone up for some action!

Me encantó este lugar!! Fueron muy amables y se aseguraron de que estuviéramos súper cómodos. Definitivamente regresaré :)) Ah, y no puedo olvidar las galletas que nos dieron al final!

Amazing sunny trip where they wait while you have fun, speedboating, jetski-ing and swimming your heart out while they serve you food and drinks. What’s not to like?

The experience was amazing! We couldn’t believe the amount of fish that were so close to the beach. The guide was really good too. 100% recommend!
