Panoramic Drive to Playa de Santiago, Guided Kayak Tour, Snorkeling and Swim
Start your day with a 45-minute scenic coach trip to Playa de Santiago, one of the biggest beaches on the sunnier south of Gomera Island. After a safety briefing and getting kitted out, set off from the beach in tandem kayaks accompanied by a support boat as well as your kayak guide.
Admire the coastline with its small coves and beaches as you follow the coast from Playa de Santiago. Stop after an hour's paddling and land on a heavenly beach to relax in the sun, swim, walk around and/or snorkel (highly recommended) to look for marine life in the glorious Atlantic waters. After this change of pace and a snack get ready to head back by kayak while continuing to feast your eyes on everything surrounding you: the sea, sand, trees and sun reflecting off the water and creating fabulous dappled light effects. Relax with these memories on the coach ride back to the ship.
