Trade-off: You paddle: it is a workout. (last checked September 1, 2026) ## Overview Join 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. ## Key facts - Price: from €25 per person - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.75/5 from 854 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Activ8You ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Kayak & Snorkeling Tour #2 | €25 / person | Spanish, English | - | | Kayak & Snorkeling Tour #5 | €25 / person | Spanish, English | - | | Kayak & Snorkeling Tour #1 | €25 / person | Spanish, English | - | | Kayak & Snorkeling Tour #3 | €25 / person | Spanish, English | - | | Kayak & Snorkeling Tour #4 | €25 / person | Spanish, English | - | ## What's included - Clean and disinfected snorkel gear, wetsuits and life jackets AFTER EVERY USE! - IMPORTANT!
