Tips for your Moraira kayak adventure
Based on my own experiences kayaking in Moraira, here are some handy tips:
- Wear swimwear and a t-shirt (or rash vest) that can get wet
- Bring sun cream, a hat, and sunglasses with a strap
- Take a small towel and a change of clothes for afterwards
- Water shoes are brilliant if you have them
- A waterproof phone case is useful for taking your own photos
- The tours usually last around 4-5 hours, so be prepared for a good workout!
- Most tours operate from May to October when the sea is calmest
These kayak tours are suitable for most people, including beginners, but you should be reasonably fit and comfortable in the water. Children usually need to be at least 8-10 years old to participate, but check with the tour provider for specific requirements.
