Kayak route along the cliffs of Nerja and Maro
Paddle by kayak along the impressive cliffs of Maro-Cerro Gordo, explore sea caves and reach the Maro waterfall. The star activity in Nerja.
Paddle at your own pace along one of the most spectacular stretches of coast in all Andalucía. From Burriana beach, in Nerja, you head into a coastline of cliffs, unspoilt coves and crystal-clear waters that can only be discovered from the sea. No groups, no rigid schedules and at your own pace: you decide where to stop, where to swim and how long to stay in each spot.
Choose between a transparent kayak —to see the seabed as you paddle— or a traditional kayak, and set course for the small caves along the coast, the Cueva del Lobo and the impressive natural waterfall of Maro, where the water falls directly into the sea. It is the perfect plan for couples, families and nature lovers looking for an authentic experience away from the crowded routes.

Frequently asked questions
No. Even if it is your first time, they give you the basic instructions on the beach before setting off and point out the best spots along the route so you do not miss a thing. As this is a self-guided route, you go at your own pace and stop wherever you like.
You paddle at your own pace along a spectacular coastline with crystal-clear waters: small unspoilt coves, Cueva del Lobo —which you can enter if the sea allows it— and the impressive natural waterfall of Maro. It is an ideal area to stop for a snorkel and see the seabed.
The base route takes about 2.5 h. If you want to reach the Maro waterfall, we recommend extending it to 3 h, as the return trip takes about 2 h 30 in total. That way you will have time for a quick swim and some relaxed snorkelling.
Here the sea is in charge and we depend on its conditions, which can change from one moment to the next. If we consider it necessary, your place will be cancelled and you will be offered another time or even another day. If in the end you cannot attend, the booking will be cancelled without any problem.
The price varies depending on the season and the duration you choose. You can check availability and the current price in the booking calendar on this very page. In addition, book now and pay later, and cancellation is free up to 24 h beforehand. We recommend booking in advance, especially in high season.
There is a wide range of times available every day. Simply choose in the booking calendar the time slot that best suits you from the available hours for the date you want.
You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure and receive a full refund. That way, your place is freed up for other interested people.
Sun protection, a cap or hat and sunglasses, swimwear and water shoes, something to drink to keep hydrated and, if you like, a camera: the scenery is well worth it.
There are lockers on site for your essential belongings. You can also hire a waterproof phone case for a small additional charge.
Yes. The kayaks are allocated according to each person's size and weight, and small children can sit in the middle (bear in mind that only two people paddle). Important: although a life jacket is provided, the activity is not suitable for anyone who cannot swim.
Burriana beach is one of the most popular in Nerja and parking is in high demand. Leave plenty of time and arrive 15 minutes before your booked time so you do not lose rental minutes. Check the different areas in our parking playa de Burriana section.
Yes. You can choose a single kayak to enjoy the sea on your own at your own pace, and there are also transparent kayaks so you can see the seabed while you paddle. They are assigned according to availability on the day of the activity.
