Was a fantastic morning spent kayaking with friends. Very enjoyable going along the coast. We went along the coast stoping at a beach along the way to look at some 13th century ruins that was very interesting to see a little history of the island. We then continued round the coast to a very nice secluded beach we’re we stopped for lunch and a rest to enjoy the surroundings. This was a fantastic 4hr experience which we really enjoyed and was a fantastic experience and different was to see and experience the island. Only do this if you have good upper body strength as it’s a physical experience but is well worth the effort as the experience is well worth the £52.11 we spent per person very enjoyable guide was really nice and engaging and knowledgeable 10/10 thanks for a fantastic time would definitely do this again thanksOverall, we had a nice time. The beaches were lovely, the weather hot and sunny and the water not too cold or too many waves. However, we did feel very left to ourselves when it came to handling our kayak.

Overall, we had a nice time. The beaches were lovely, the weather hot and sunny and the water not too cold or too many waves. However, we did feel very left to ourselves when it came to handling our kayak. We were the slowest in the group to finish and were struggling. It’s hard work! About 10 meters from hitting the beach, a wave completely threw us off course and our kayak ended on top of some rocks and shortly after another wave flipped the kayak so we fell out. At that point the rest of the group, including the guide were already on the beach and NO ONE apart from a 10 year old boy came to help us even though we were very clearly struggling. The rocks were all over the place and slippery and the waves kept crashing into us whilst we were trying to get the kayak back on course. Our guide did absolutely nothing even though him and his team were only meters away. Very disappointing ending on a nice trip.It's been a while back, we still remember the fun we had. Really nice guide.
It's been a while back, we still remember the fun we had. Really nice guide.Great guide, excellent trip! Very nice experience with enough time for some fun and food. Don’t forget to bring a towel and/or some dry clothes though

Having never done kayaking before, I wasn't sure what to expect/how difficult it would be but our instructor Miguel was fantastic! He was encouraging, patient and fun! The whole morning was brilliant and I would definitely go again. One thing to note - it's quite hard work (especially if your technique isn't great!) so prepare for a bit of an upper body workout. But there were plenty of breaks and opportunities to rest, including a nice long snack-stop in a cute sandy (nudist) beach :)Great trip - Guide was super friendly and helpful. We kayaked about 1 hour to the beach and 45 minutes back, which was good for beginners. Played some light sports and swimming on the beach when we got there. Would recommend as a fun change from the standard day on the island.
