Coastal

exploration

Imagine a whole day to explore this virgin place between the beaches of Pichilingue and Tecolote.

We paddle along the coast until we reach the impressive Balandra Bay. Here, the sea is like a turquoise-blue pool, surrounded by no fewer than seven bays with white-sand beaches. The red volcanic mountains create a spectacular contrast with the blue of the sea and the sky. We’ll choose our own beach to relax on, enjoying an exquisite lunch and refreshing drinks.After lunch, we’ll continue our exciting kayak journey, making frequent stops to snorkel. We’ll reveal our secret spot: a small cave accessible only by kayak, where amazing snorkeling awaits you among volcanic rocks and underwater arches you can swim through. Don’t miss this unique experience if you enjoy the activity and want to improve your kayaking skills.

During the crossing we can see islands with thousands of migratory and local birds, as well as an islet with sea lions. On the beaches we will see small local fishermen's huts and mangroves that decorate the landscape. In the afternoon, we can enjoy snorkeling and lunch at the beach of our choice.
