How booking a Cabo de Gata trip works

1 · Check the sea conditions

Boat and kayak trips depend on wind and swell. Read each product's weather and refund terms.

2 · Check where it departs

Most sea trips leave from San José or nearby villages. Compare the meeting point with where you are staying.

3 · Check summer access to the beaches

Some beaches have restricted car access in summer. Check how you would reach them on your date.
