Kayaking Gran Canaria From Playa de El Pajar
This is Gran Canaria seen from the water. You set off from Playa de El Pajar and follow the volcanic south-west coast, gliding past cliffs, slipping into sea caves and reaching quiet coves that are hard to get to any other way. The double kayaks are stable and easy, so you do not need any experience, just a relaxed morning and a bit of light paddling.
Just the two of you. Stable double kayaks along the volcanic coast, calm and easy even for first-timers.
Small Groups, Guided All the Way
You are never out there alone. A licensed local guide leads a small group along the coast, sets the route based on the sea that day, and keeps everyone together at an easy pace. The guide handles the briefing, the gear and the safety, so you can just paddle and enjoy the views.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
Straight up: this is a calm, scenic paddle, not an action day. And that is exactly why people love it. You get Gran Canaria from the sea, caves and coves you cannot reach on foot, a snorkel stop and a picnic, all at an easy pace in stable double kayaks that beginners handle fine.
If you are after big waves, racing or cliff jumping, this is not that, and we would rather tell you now. But for a relaxed morning with your partner, family or a few friends, with photos and pickup sorted, it is a lovely way to spend a Monday.
For a peaceful half-day on the water in Gran Canaria, this kayak tour is an easy yes.
