About this tour
A 3.5-hour guided paddle along Spain's Marina Alta coast, launching from Cala Les Platgetes near Moraira. You'll kayak beneath limestone cliffs and into turquoise bays, with Peñón d'Ifach rising dramatically across the water. The route takes you to Galera's underwater meadows for snorkelling, where posidonia beds harbour schools of fish and occasional dolphin sightings. Weather permitting, the group may venture further to Baladrar cove. Rock jumping from clifftop formations is optional for those seeking extra adrenaline.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the beach launching point and receive a briefing on safety and technique before pushing off. The paddle is steady-paced rather than gruelling, with breaks for snorkelling in shallower sections where visibility runs deep and fish congregate around waving seagrass. The Galera stop is the main event—mask and fins provided, you'll explore the underwater landscape while your guide points out what swims past. If conditions favour it and the group agrees, expect an additional paddle to Baladrar's sheltered inlet. The entire outing sits somewhere between organised tour and loose adventure; you're paddling yourself, not being ferried.
Good to know
Bring water shoes with grip; flip-flops won't cut it. Pack your own snacks and at least a litre of water—the activity provides none. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or anyone with cardiovascular concerns. High fitness levels needed. Public transport reaches the meeting point, so no transfer arrangement required.
