The natural park 'Los Acantilados de Cerro Gordo' is between La Herradura and Maro on the Mediterranean coast. Starting from the beach of La Herradura, The Natural Park has a surprising variety of flora and fauna, terrestrial and aquatic. Mainly accessible only from the sea, you can enjoy its many cliffs, caves, beaches, coves, rocky areas and corners of extraordinary beauty. The guided kayak tour is combined with snorkeling in the natural park. For beginners, the instructors will give an explanation of how to use kayak and snorkeling equipment so that you have the basic knowledge about the safety and concepts of both sports in order to enjoy the trip safely.
2h 30mJoin our kayak and snorkeling tour for an unforgettable 2.5-hour adventure in the Natural Park “Los Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo”.
Departing from our nautical area on La Herradura Beach, we paddle into one of the most beautiful protected coastal areas in Andalucía, famous for its dramatic cliffs, clear waters and rich marine life.
With respect for the environment, we may enter the magical Cueva de la Paloma, taking care not to touch or disturb the rocks, plants or wildlife.
Along the route, keep an eye out for mountain goats crossing the steep cliffs above the sea. This scenic route, mostly accessible only by water, offers a unique way to discover the natural park.
Unlike many tours, we take hygiene seriously: all masks, snorkels, fins, wetsuits and life jackets are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between every use.
We’re also the only local tour providing full snorkel gear, including fins, for a more comfortable and complete snorkeling experience.
