Frequently asked questions about the Cave Route

If your child does not paddle and occupies one of the two seats in the double kayak we recommend the The Caves Route from Cala en Porter. It is more relaxed, there is less paddling and we stop at Cales Coves, a sheltered cove where you can stand up and the children enjoy swimming and snorkelling.

The route of Es Canutells is a bit more demanding: it takes 15-20 minutes longer to paddle., If you can't get to any sheltered cove, you may not be able to stand up at any point. If, due to age or distribution, you cannot go in the middle, the extra effort falls on the accompanying adult.

On both routes, children under 8 years old can ride as a third occupant in the middle of the double kayak (free of charge). Children from 8 to 12 years old pay 29€.
