What to expect
You'll launch your kayak from a sheltered spot and paddle westward along dramatic cliffs that rise straight from the ocean. The guide leads you past hidden coves and rocky outcrops where marine life congregates. When conditions allow, you'll slip into the water with snorkelling gear to observe turtles and fish up close. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed, but the landscape itself—volcanic rock formations and coastal caves—makes the paddle worthwhile. Expect a moderate pace with time to absorb your surroundings and ask questions.
Good to know
You'll need moderate fitness for paddling and entering/exiting the kayak. Bring sun protection and a rash shirt for snorkelling. Wetsuits available depending on season. Public transport reaches the launch point. Service animals are welcome. Check weather conditions the day before, as rough seas occasionally cause cancellations.
