What you'll do
Embark on an exciting kayaking and snorkeling adventure in the beautiful bay next to La Herradura, a picturesque village in Andalusia. Surrounded by mountains and pristine marinas, this horseshoe-shaped bay offers a unique setting for aquatic sports. This 2.5-hour excursion is suitable for all ages and skill levels, allowing anyone to explore Los Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo.
You'll start your journey at Activ8You Sports Club, just down the street from the beach. Here you'll receive a brief initiation course, ensuring that even beginners can fully experience kayaking and snorkeling. Then, after a bit of practice in shallow waters, set off on your kayak to explore the Natural Park of Cerro Gordo, with its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters. Paddle peacefully along the coastline, enjoying the scenery and the bay's calm waters.
Once you've reached a prime snorkeling spot, it's time to dive in and explore the vibrant underwater world. Equipped with fins, goggles, and a life jacket, jump in and observe the diverse marine life that calls this area home. Keep an eye out for colorful fish and coral, and don't forget to bring an underwater camera (if you have one) to capture the beauty.
As your excursion comes to an end, paddle back to the starting point. Afterward, with your newfound appreciation for La Herradura's aquatic wonders, take some time to explore the village and its surroundings. Discover the picturesque marina of Marina del Este, stroll along the beach, and soak in the region's natural beauty.
