What to expect
You'll begin at Cala Portixol, where guides fit you with a life jacket and run through basic paddle strokes if needed. The kayak is stable and manageable from the start. Paddle outward along the rocky coast for about 30 minutes, reading the water colour and rock formations as you go. You'll reach the cave entrances—some require ducking low under rock ledges. Once inside, the guide signals when to secure the kayak and slip into snorkelling gear. Underwater, expect clarity down to several metres, small fish, and the strange acoustics of water-filled chambers. The return paddle is gentler.
