The 12 Best Gran Canaria Kayak Tours

1.Puerto Mogán: Guided Adventure Kayak Tour in Caves & Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 370 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $61Our pick

Paddle a two-seat kayak along Gran Canaria’s volcanic coast with RockNatour guides Pablo or Paul. You’ll enter the Mogán caves, swim through tunnels when conditions allow, snorkel at a wild beach, and choose cliff jumps up to about 5 meters. This is a sporty sea outing, not a gentle sightseeing cruise.

“10/10, would 100% do this activity again! Pablo was an amazing tour guide that made the whole experience so much fun for me and my partner. We went around the cliff edges, did some swimming inside caves, did a cliff jump, and also kayaked to a beach where we were able to snorkel and enjoy the beach. We also had cookies and watermelon as a snack. I would recommend wearing watershoes and a sports top (to stop the life vest from rubbing) to do this activity.”

12.Kayak por las cuevas y acantilados de Mogan

Meet your English- or Spanish-speaking guide at Taurito Beach for a four-hour paddle along Gran Canaria’s southwest coast. Enter sea caves when conditions allow, stop at Tiritaña Beach for swimming, snorkeling, beach games, and a picnic, then return by kayak.

“Erittäin onnistunut retki. Aallokko oli yllättävän voimakas mutta silti kajakkia pystyi kokemattomampikin hallitsemaan. Opas tiesi haastavampiakin kohteita kokeilla taitojaan halukkaille. Picknik tauko tuli sopivasti kun jalat alkoivat puutua. Opas ei suositellut omien kännyköiden ottamista mukaan merelle. Hän otti kuvia ja saimme ne seuraavana päivänä sähköpostiin. Suosittelen retkeä. Koko perheen retki. Myös reippaat ja uimataitoiset lapsetkin pärjäävät kyllä aikuisen kanssa.”
