Ideally located just 40 minutes’ drive from Almería, Cabo de Gata lies within the municipality of Níjar, in the heart of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park in Andalusia. Created in 1987, it was the first marine and terrestrial natural park in Andalusia and one of the first in Spain. This remarkably well-preserved area is home to a wealth of natural treasures, both on land and at sea: desert-like landscapes, wild beaches and hidden coves. To explore this coastline and uncover its secret beaches and inlets, there is nothing better than a sea kayaking excursion in Cabo de Gata combined with snorkelling.
Join this guided kayak tour to the Sirens Reef and explore the coastline and its legendary rock formation with a professional guide who knows the Cabo de Gata region inside out. According to legend, the reef was named “Sirens Reef” because sailors were bewitched by sirens said to lounge there. While this is only a myth, one thing is certain: you too will be captivated by this unique place, with its striking beauty, rich biodiversity and peaceful atmosphere.
With tips and anecdotes from your passionate guide, you will follow a safe sea kayaking route of around 4.5 km along the Cabo de Gata coast. Throughout the excursion, you will enjoy impressive cliff-lined scenery and have the opportunity to swim and paddle through waters so clear that you can see the seabed directly from your kayak. In the water, you may spot a variety of marine life such as sea bass, bream, groupers and sea urchins, and if you wish, you can take part in a snorkelling session to observe them up close.
Whatever your level, the instructor adapts the outing to ensure an unforgettable experience. You don’t even need to be able to swim to take part. So why wait? Join this sea kayaking excursion to the Sirens Reef with snorkelling and enjoy a truly magical aquatic experience in Cabo de Gata.
