The sea pulls at the hull and the city recedes: paddle strokes cut through glassy water, and basalt cliffs rise like pages of the island’s geologic story. On a one-hour coastal kayak outing from Gran Canaria you’ll feel the current nudging you along shorelines that are only readable from the water — small coves, hidden rock ledges and wave-sculpted caves daring you to look closer.
