Overview

Paddle through the mangroves where the landscapes and the wild life are the main attractions. Choose between 2 options, a 3 hours / 8km guided tour for begginers and enjoy the birdwatching (flamingos*, ospreys, ibis, herons, egrets and much more). The first part is a 1km trip close to the sandbar, then you’ll go to the entrance (Rio Kuka) to start a 6km circuit into the hearth of the mangroves channels. At the middle of the circuit there´s a break for hydratation. At this point you can choose to head back or continue through the experienced kayakers route (5km more), paddling until the end of the chanels where are a beautiful unspoiled beach, Playa Woow. Both options includes a round transfer from your hotel, water and snacks.
*The pink flamingos normally visit the island during Summer-Winter time.

A:

No experience is necessary! Beginners are welcome on all of our kayak tours. Most of our guests have never been in a sea kayak before. Anyone in average physical condition may join a kayak tour. If you can hike or bike, you can paddle our sea kayaks. You do not need any swimming skills either.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.

Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
