The Pirates’ Route

Their most popular route explores the wildest and most unspoiled part of the Natural Park. You’ll sail through turquoise waters teeming with marine life that turn the area into a natural aquarium. You’ll explore hidden caves and imposing cliffs without long walks under the sun, and stop at a cove to swim and snorkel.

Excursion to Cala de San Pedro

Cala de San Pedro is one of the most famous coves in Cabo de Gata. It can only be reached by boat or after a strenuous hike. The boat trip from Las Negras makes it comfortable and accessible, even for seniors or families with children.

Why Choose Them

• Local captain: They know every cave and every secret of the coast.
• Small groups: Personalized experiences, without crowds.
• Equipment included: High-quality snorkeling gear and life jackets.
• Assistance at the office: You’ll receive a map and tips for exploring the area.

What Customers Say

Reviews highlight Pedro, the captain, who explains the caves, coves, and erosion patterns and helps anyone who needs it get on and off the boat. Also mentioned is Natalia, at the office—a “charm” who explains everything in detail. Many return for another trip when they come back to Las Negras.

Boat, Kayak, or Stand-Up Paddleboarding?

• Want to see as much as possible without getting tired: boat tour with a stop for swimming.
• Like to go at your own pace: kayak through the coves near Las Negras.
• You’re looking for something peaceful yet active: stand-up paddleboarding first thing in the morning, when the sea is calm.
• You just want to swim and see fish: rent snorkeling gear and explore the seagrass beds.

Las Negras and Its Surroundings

Las Negras is a fishing village right in the heart of the Natural Park, featuring volcanic rock beaches, the Cerro Negro (Black Hill) from which it takes its name, and crystal-clear waters. From here, you can access some of the most beautiful spots on the Cape: Cala de San Pedro, Cala del Plomo, and the cliffs along the north coast.

Tips

1. Book in advance in July and August.
2. Bring water shoes: the beaches are rocky.
3. Water-resistant sunscreen and a hat.
4. Respect the seagrass and don’t take anything from the sea.

Best Time of Day

• Early morning: calm seas, ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding.
• Midday: the light makes the coves’ turquoise waters sparkle, perfect for snorkeling.
• Afternoon: the sun sets over the cliffs and the water is cooler.
