Paddle from the port of Playa de Aro along the Camino de Ronda toward S'Agaró, exploring coves and snorkeling in clear Mediterranean water. This two-hour guided trip balances gentle paddling with a chance to swim and inspect the seabed.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the small harbor at Playa de Aro and the town slips astern: low concrete piers, fishing boats bobbing, and the open Mediterranean stretching toward S'Agaró. Limestone cliffs rise in scraps of ochre and grey; the sea pulls and stirs like a living map, nudging you into narrow coves only reachable by kayak. A guide gives a compact safety briefing and basic stroke work, then you head along the Camino de Ronda, threading between rocks as gulls argue with the wind.
