Discover one of Andalusia’s best-kept secrets with the Kayak Tour from Sanlúcar to Doñana Natural Park. Paddle through a landscape where nature and history blend perfectly, crossing the legendary Guadalquivir River into one of Europe’s most iconic natural reserves.
What is the Kayak Tour from Sanlúcar to Doñana Natural Park?
The tour starts at La Calzada Beach in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz), from where you’ll paddle across the Guadalquivir River into the province of Huelva, landing on the shore of Doñana Natural Park. From there, you’ll glide westward to reach Punta de Malandar, the last beach before the river opens into the Atlantic Ocean.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy incredible views of Sanlúcar’s skyline — including its upper and lower quarters, Santiago Castle, and historic churches — and, with some luck, spot wild animals like deer or wild boars. The return trip is made easy and comfortable aboard a support boat, so you only paddle with the current, making it accessible for most fitness levels.
