    • We're excited for your upcoming Cala Granadella Kayak Tour with Siesta Advisor! To ensure everything goes smoothly, here's some important information for your adventure: Arrival Tips: • Be Early: Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time. This extra time is vital for parking and making your way down to the beach. Keep in mind, late arrivals might miss the tour as we start promptly to ensure a great experience for all participants. Accessing Cala Granadella: • Parking Challenges: Be aware that parking can be difficult, especially during peak times, and beach access may be closed if no parking is left. • Recommendation for Early Arrival: To make parking as easy as possible, we suggest arriving before 09:00, even if your tour is later in the day. • Taxi Option: For a stress-free alternative, consider taking a taxi from Javea center (about €15). • Private Parking at Casa Whiskey: Potentially available for €10. Let the guard know you’re parking there and they will get you through. • Mention Your Kayak Reservation: Sometimes, saying you have a kayak reservation with Siesta Advisor can help gain beach access. • Drop-off Approach: Telling the guards, you're dropping off might increase chances of entry. In Case of Restricted Access: • Should parking be full, a 45-minute walk to the beach may be necessary. To avoid trouble, please arrive as early as possible!

      An amazing experience and lots of fun
      It was an amazing trip with wonderful scenery and amazing locations. It was the best day we had in Spain so far. Strongly recommended and the guides were so friendly, helpful and so welcoming to all of us and especially my 8 year old son who loved it just as much as I did if not more

      Highlight of our trip
      Had a great time! The guides were very multilingual and we were able to speak with them in English. They were flexible as to what we want to do (how high to cliff jump, or more snorkelling instead if we preferred), and everyone was friendly. The meeting point was convenient to reach from Javea, unlike tours in Granadella.

      Absolutely flawless company. Hugely knowledgeable, very clear with instructions (in a variety of languages!) stunning views and the kids had an amazing experience. Big shout out to Mohamed for saving one of our party who got very sick and James for picking her up. Heinrick handled the whole thing calmly with no fuss. Amazing 👏

      Not as expected, disappointing
      Disappointed after reading such good reviews and looking at the photos online. Tour did not live up to expectations . The 4pm tour was huge - massively overbooked. 37 people - mixture of ages and experience. The young lads who take you out did their best and were very friendly, but really it was too many people and less than ideal conditions for a snorkelling and sea kayaking tour for absolute beginners. The lads were young - 18-25 years old - maybe not experienced enough/senior enough to make the call? The Sea was very choppy (day before a big storm) and nothing like the crystal blue, still water advertised online. Obviously conditions are not always suitable (nobody’s fault) and knowing a storm was coming in, I’m not sure why this tour was allowed to be so over booked (double that which is advertised). Not knowing this coast line or coves, we trusted the company knew best but with hindsight, I should have cancelled or rearranged. We only managed two stops not three and only one cave, which we could not kayak into, due to high sea levels. Had to climb out of kayak and swim to the cave - quite unsafe due to craggy rocks, rough sea (not what you’d ideally snorkel in). Getting into a double sea kayak in deep water, in rough sea, is tough for most beginners. You need upper body strength and balance. Probably should have been cancelled or only a very small group taken out, with a warning it wasn’t what had been advertised due to conditions, so that people had a choice. Despite being promised personal what’s app photos, we were sent a link to other people’s photos and when I followed up explaining the mistake, no response.

      Pretty intense because the waves were a bit heavy but a super experience! Snorkling was super and the cave exiting. Must do!

      If less mobile, go for the Granadell option. Overall great experience
      We were initially booked on the Granadell tour but due to an injury, the company allowed us to rebook but on the cala tango tour which is considerably more challenging if you are not as mobile. Marco and Tom were a great support. I’m disabled and really wanted to do the cliff dive and if not for Tom’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to experience it. The sea was quite rough resulting in a few of us getting pushed against the rocks. It made getting back in so hard for me and Marco was ever helpful and patience getting me back in. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 is that depending on sea conditions, this trip is absolutely not for everybody. I overhead the tour guides question if we should’ve gone into the cave. The sea didn’t make it feel safe at times for sure and I know this is out of the companies control but what they do with that info isn’t. Overall this is an awesome experience. Our niece especially had such an amazing time and seeing her happy was worth every penny.

      So much fun
      The entire experience was a lot of fun, Tomas was especially helpful and patient with my wife and I. it happened to be a perfect day the kayaking was really nice , we have only kayaked a couple time before and it was not that hard, the small hidden cave and beach was cool but that cliff diving....wow....there were different heights to jump from, it is a very beautiful area to snorkel as well . My wife and I are 63, the guides were so patient and explained everything clearly. We look forward to another trip to this area we would do this again.

    We are a family of 5 and really loved this trip! It was the highlight of our holiday.
    We were split into pairs to kayak with our youngest (10) in a pair with our trip guide.
    The equipment was perfect except that there was no snorkel tube only the masks due to COVID, so I would recommend bringing your own as the snorkeling near the underwater cave it amazing with a lot of fish.

    The trip was amazing and we had a perfect time with our guides Nils and Matteo. The communication before the trip was perfect (E-Mails and Messenger), so that all questions (Where do we meet, what do we have to bring, what is provided by Siesta Advisor etc) had been answered before. The organization was very good, the material (Kayaks, live-vests, waterproof bags...) was of high quality. It was not a problem to leave our private things in the van of Siesta Advisor. Due to rough conditions we skipped Cala Ambolo, but we spent a lot of time in Cala en Calo with a lot of snorkeling and the chance for a lot of beautiful photos and videos. We can fully recommend this trip!

    My girlfriend and I did the "Ultimate Sea Cave Kayak & Snorkel Tour" on the 29th of February 2020.
    We had a great moment with Tamas who guided us to the caves. It was around 20 degrees when we were kayaking, and with the swimsuits provided we didn't felt cold at all. We could do snorkelling inside the cave which is pretty amazing at this time of the year !
    The trip to the caves is very nice, with a nice view toward cliffs and beachs.
    Tamas has been very accomodating with us and we greatly thank him for that !
    We highly recommend doing this tour with Tamas and his team !

    We really enjoyed our kayakking trip as a group of 8. We got a brief introduction on how to kayak from our guide Thomas and our stuff were safely put away. We made 3 stops, they provided goggles for snorkling and gave some information about the location. Thomas also checked on everybody who was a bit behind of the group while kajakking. We would definetely recommend Siesta Advisor - and Thomas - for your activity!

    Really well organised tour with Beni, Manu and Miquela. Our kids were 8 and 12, so they were in a kayak with an adult. The kayaking was great, with great views of the coast line. We stopped twice for snorkelling. Masks were provided but we had to provide the pipes (this was in August 22 so for Covid reasons, so check whether this is still a thing when you go). You can pick up a pipe for around €4 so not a big expense.

    The guides were really friendly and great with the kids.

    What a fantastic morning trip we had with our excellent guides Braylin and Jorn.
    We were a family of five so my young daughter, who is 9, went with Braylin and was truly looked after.
    We were given water shoes and lifejackets and recommended to only take water and suncream. The guides took photos and shared them later via a link. It is possible to take your own phone in your own waterproof carrier and if you love taking pictures I would recommend that.
    The trip was really relaxed and we were given the options about which beaches to stop at. My two eldest daughters both did the cliff jump, which was fantastic fun. If we were on holiday in this area again, we would definitely rebook.

    It’s definitely advisable to arrive early if you’ve booked a later session because the parking is not ideal. Most people parked on the one-way steep road going away from the beach and it is tight.
    The beach itself is nice, although there was a bit of a lack of facilities. The toilets were out of order and there was nowhere open to buy food or water so come prepared.

    The tour was fun and the guide was nice.
    But we were told that they will take pictures and send them to us in turn.
    Pictures never came even though we have written several times. They also do not respond to our inquiries.
    Very disappointed.
    So not to be trusted when it comes to photos so we recommend everyone to take their own photos. Greetings very disappointed customer.

    I am very happy you had a good tour and that the monitors were nice! Regarding your photos I am sorry. We offer photos as a little gift for our clients for free, but do equally advise our guests to bring their own phones and cameras. I am sad to see that despite the experience being fantastic and the guides being professional and kind, us not sending some photos warranted a one star review.
