Explore the natural beauty of Cabo de Gata with this guided kayak tour through the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, departing from the stunning Fabriquilla beach. Located in Andalusia’s Almería province, this beach is known for its golden sands, clear turquoise waters, and dramatic volcanic cliffs.
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome and a 15-minute equipment handout, including paddles, life jackets, diving goggles, and snorkels. You’ll then attend a short safety briefing where your guide will explain the basics of kayaking (how to paddle forward, brake, turn, and reverse) as well as the procedures for embarking and disembarking and the key safety rules. Your car keys can be left securely at the center while you're on the water, and there’s free parking just next to the meeting point. Although there are no toilets on-site, a public beach shower is available if you wish to rinse off after the tour.
Once you’re ready, you’ll set off from Fabriquilla beach in a small group, ensuring a safe and personalized experience. You will be no more than 12 double kayaks per outing, with one guide for every six kayaks. As you paddle along the coastline, you’ll pass volcanic rock formations, sea caves, and the iconic Arrecife de Las Sirenas. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the geology, marine life, and protected ecosystems of the natural park during regular scenic stops.
Halfway through the tour, you’ll pause for a snorkeling session in calm, warm waters ranging from 24 to 27°C. This is a highlight of the excursion, offering the chance to observe a rich variety of marine species, including the colorful rascacio, oblada, pez verde, mero, moray eels, Gallopedro, galán, and many more. There are no strong currents in this area, and the tour is always conducted under safe weather conditions in accordance with the guidelines of the Almería Maritime Authority. In case of high waves, the activity will be postponed to ensure your safety.
This 3-hour experience is more than just a kayak tour: it's a peaceful and silent journey with no engines or pollution, offering a true connection with nature and the chance to spot marine wildlife that tends to flee from noise.
