2.Kayak and Snorkeling Excursion in Maro Cerro Gordo Cliffs

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 158 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $27Best value

Paddle the coves and caves of the Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs with AWA La Herradura, then stop to snorkel in clear coastal water. Guides brief you on safe kayak handling and point out features along the route. Luis is one guide named in accounts of the trip. Allow about two and a half hours, and remember that wind and waves can change the route or schedule.

“Very good and very nice, jute shame when we put in the language choices , it offers French but they do not speak French but other than that it is not very serious as not much to explain. the rest is nice shame that for the diving part the place is not exceptional, just near the beach so no need to kayak to do the same.Auto-translated”

From Benalmádena, join a 3.5-hour coastal boat trip with a crew that may include Luis and Alvaro.

“I had a blast! I travelled alone and was a bit unsure of what I was getting myself into. Turned out I had nothing to worry about! I was well taken care of by the guide/captain Elena. And the other people on the boat were awesome as well! This was the first time I have ever seen dolphins, and what a sight to behold! I felt like a kid again playing in the water: snorkling, going on the slide, and paddling. I loved sitting on the deck reading my book while having the view of the malaga coastline! 11/10 would do againRead more”
