CABO DE GATA ACTIVO, the only company in the Tripadvisor® Hall of Fame to have received the TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence every year since 2015.

In this adventure we combine a physical activity, such as the practice of sea kayaking, with the pleasure of enjoying and knowing from a unique perspective, the magnificent Cabo de Gata - Níjar Natural Park. Knowing the cliffs of the Natural Park and its caves from the sea, on board a kayak, is an unforgettable experience, since many places and corners can only be seen from this small boat.

The kayak routes through Cabo de Gata are so special because Cabo de Gata is one of the Spanish natural areas affected by a greater number of protection figures, both natural and cultural. These inscriptions are based on their geological, ecological, historical, anthropological and landscape richness.

Amazing experience. Helpful guides. Lasted for about 3 - 4 hours, very cost efficient. Strongly recommended for couples. Quite a private tour, there was only 1 other couple there with us. The views were amazing and the guides had extensive knowledge about the environment and history.
Great kayaking and snorkeling experience

Very fun experience to do both alone, as a couple or as a group. Very friendly monitors and easy route to do. If you don't have snorkeling equipment, they leave it to you, and the place is very nice. 100% recommended.
Great experience!

Highly recommended! We did the route Cala del Cuervo -Cave of the pigeons - El Playazo. You access unique places of great beauty and low technical difficulty. If you are a nature lover you can not miss it. Javi and Jason have been charming, attentive to every detail and provided us with lots of information about the places, including geological and historical aspects. We loved it. Javier and Eva.
Fully recommended!

I went with my partner a couple of days ago and we really enjoyed the experience. The guides (we had Javi's turn) and explained everything in a clear and funny way, thank you very much! We were also left for a while to snorkel in one of the caves and later also in a very nice cove which, in fact, we spent the rest of the day there enjoying the good weather. The information received by Nacho through whatsapp was very clear and concise and we closed the booking comfortably and quickly. If we return to Almeria we will not hesitate to contact them again and make another route. Thank you so much for everything! A greeting from Bilbao

Nice view, very clear water, helpful and knowledgeable guides. The weather was perfect too, well worth recheduling the tour. The snorkeling part may look underwhelming to somebody experienced with snorkeling and diving in Hawaii, but pretty good for the Mediterranean.
Unforgettable experience

An unforgettable experience, easy to book, and super friendly. We couldn't make it temporary the day we had booked, and they put it on the next day. We laugh a lot with the way to explain everything 🤣 I recommend them 100%

Very nice trip. Well organized. Snorkeling was also surprisingly good. The guide spoke not only Spanish but also English. Nice stable canoes. Enjoyed the beautiful surroundings for 3 hours. Good parking facilities on site.
