Lanzarote kayak tour to Papagayo Beach - with time for snorkeling and picnic

A great way to get to know the Papagayo beaches and the south coast of Lanzarote is a kayak tour from Playa Blanca. Directly from the beach Las Colorades you will go by boat along the impressive coast, passing Playa Dorada, the marina Rubicon and some of the most beautiful beaches of the south coast. It is about 7 kilometres to the finish. The kayak tour to Papagayo Beach in Lanzarote is a wonderful experience for nature lovers, active vacationers and also for families with children. The tour takes about 3 hours and includes all the equipment, an experienced guide, snorkeling equipment and a picnic.

Maybe you have never been in a kayak before and have never paddled a sea mile on the sea - then this is your chance to start with a good experience in water sports. The kayaks are easy to handle and lie safely on the water. What you should know about effortless paddling technique you will learn at the start of the tour. The instruction takes place directly on the beach, where the kayaks are dropped into the water. Your guide will introduce you to the route and also give you important tips on kayaking. You can stow your personal belongings in a waterproof backpack and off you go: from Playa Blanca within sight of the coast eastwards to the Los Ajaches sanctuary - the oldest geological formation on the island. This special region in the south of Lanzarote also includes the famous, kilometre-long Papagayo beaches, which advertise themselves with white or golden sand and crystal-clear water. The crossing takes about 1 hour.

Once arrived in this little paradise, the snorkeling break could become your most beautiful holiday experience. The transparent water shimmers in different shades of blue depending on the incidence of light, often many fish swim in the shallower areas and even one or the other elevation shimmers on the seabed. Our guide is happy to teach participants who are snorkeling for the first time and is also available for any other questions. If the water level and the weather on the day of your choice allow it, we will paddle into a small cave on the way back from Papagayo and enjoy for a moment the silence in the house formed by nature. At the Papagayo Cape the most amazing cliffs we can find in Lanzarote await us. They belong to the most amazing perspectives of our Lanzarote kayak and snorkel tour.

Kayaking and snorkeling fun

This kayaking and snorkeling tour from Playa Blanca to Papagayo Beach was a real treat! The guide was professional and made sure we were all set with the equipment and instructions. Paddling along the coast was pure bliss, and the snorkeling stop at Papagayo Beach was like swimming in paradise. The picnic was a nice touch, although the lack of a transfer was a bit of a hassle. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, perfect for a sunny day on Lanzarote. Just remember to bring your swimwear and sunblock!

Kayaking and snorkelling in Papagayo: A brutal experience!

What a great tour of Papagayo! We went with my boyfriend in low season and we had a great time. The volcanic landscapes are breathtaking and the water is so clear that it looks like it's from another world. The guide was professional and explained everything to us, although I had to concentrate to understand some of the words in English. The snorkelling is suitable for beginners and seeing the marine life was amazing. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that there was no transfer included, so we had to find our own way to get there. And well, getting into the cave depends on the weather, so don't get too excited about it. The picnic was decent in the end, but don't expect too much. Recommended especially if you like adventure and being in contact with nature.

Kayak y snorkel en Papagayo: ¡Una experiencia brutal!

Vaya pasada de tour por Papagayo! Fuimos con mi novio en temporada baja y la verdad, lo pasamos de lujo. Los paisajes volcánicos son impresionantes y el agua es tan clara que parece de otro mundo. El guía fue professional y nos explicó todo, aunque tuve que concentrarme para entender algunas palabras en inglés.

El snorkel es apto para principiantes y ver la vida marina fue increíble. Lo único que me fastidió un poco fue que no había transfer incluido, así que tuvimos que buscar cómo llegar por nuestra cuenta. Y bueno, lo de entrar en la cueva depende del clima, así que no te emociones demasiado con eso. El picnic al final estuvo decente, pero no esperes la gran cosa. Recomendado sobretodo si te mola la aventura y estar en contacto con la naturaleza.

good vibes

The kayaking and snorkelling tour at Playa Papagayo was good. Great scenery and crystal clear water, although kayaking was a bit tiring. The picnic at the end was smaller than expected, but it was good. Good vibe with the guide, a nice and professional guy.

buena onda

El tour de kayak y snorkel en Playa Papagayo estuvo bueno. Paisajes de puta madre y aguas cristalinas, aunque hacer kayak fue un poco cansado. El picnic al final fue más pequeño de lo esperado, pero cumplió. Buen rollo con el guía, un tío simpático y profesional.
