Kayak and snorkel tour of the Mogán sea caves

You meet in front of the Princess Taurito Hotel and carry the kayaks the 80 metres down to the beach. Two people share each kayak, and no previous experience is needed because the guide shows you how to handle it before you set off. From there you follow the coast, learning to read the swell as you paddle.

The standard route covers about 4 km with two stops and takes in up to three caves along the volcanic cliffs. There are two spots where you can jump from the rocks if you want to. Snorkelling at a wild beach is part of the route, though it is optional, you can stay on the sand while the others get in the water. The guide talks you through the marine life you see.

RockNatour is clear that this is a sporty day rather than a relaxed one. You need a decent fitness level, you must be comfortable swimming in the sea, and the guide adjusts the route to the conditions on the day. There is also a shorter 2 km version of the same route with one stop, one jump spot and up to two caves, open to children from 12 when accompanied by an adult.
