      Excellent communication. The guides were very friendly and experienced and took great care to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable day. The group was very large and the ti.e changed to 4pm to suit the majority of the group. But again we received telephone and whattsap messages to ensure communication even though we booked the day before. I would recommend the provider and this activity. We were a family of 4 adults.

      no tour and refund

      Tatiane_C, Jul 2025
      We booked the kayak and snorkel tour for 3 adults and 1 child at 4 p.m. on July 15th. However, it didn't happen because they canceled it without notifying us in advance. We found out through other people, so we contacted the Awa company responsible for the tour, and she confirmed that it wouldn't happen and that I could choose to reschedule or request a refund. Since I was returning to my country the next morning, I requested a refund. They told me it would be in my account within 72 hours, but so far, I haven't received a message or a refund of the €81.

      Did not go as they changed the time

      Sally_H, May 2025
      I got a message at 9am telling me that they wished to change the time from 4pm to 11am and could I get there? I explained I was a long way away but if they could recommend a taxi I would do my best. I got no reply, and could not get there for 11.30. Unsure of whether the 4pm would go ahead as I did not hear back from them I did not waste time travelling there for 4pm. Very dissatisfied

      Cancelled

      Nicholas_S, Oct 2024
      Well I'm sure it would have been good, but it was canceled two days in a row due to weather concerns, so never got to try it.

      Cuando las condiciones no son buenas logicamente cancelamos la actividad para que nuestros clientes no tengan una mala experiencia. Realmente no entendemos sus dos estrellas. Saludos.

      Valentina_B, Aug 2024
      The view and the sea are amazing but there are some drawbacks: - stinky lifejackets... it was awful to wear them only with the swimsuit under it - the start time of the tour was 1h after the scheduled one - too crowded group... it would be better to have smaller and more organized groups Good highlights for the kind and good guides that led us through the tour.

      Adela_B, Aug 2024
      The staff was ok. The trip was booked for 4PM but it started on 5.15PM. Few minutes for snorkelling, where was nothing to be seen and not sufficient equipment for everyone.

      Response from Host, Aug 2024

      Good morning. That day there was a delay due to weather conditions, we are in an activity in the natural environment, it can happen. We have time to enjoy snorkeling without problem, up to 30 minutes. We are in one of the best seabeds in Europe, we don't understand why you didn't see anything, you can see the photos and videos on our Instagram profile @awalaherradura, we have photos of everything you can see on our excursions. We don't think this review is fair but we hope you can come back to check it out. Thank you so much.

      Beautiful scenic kayaking route

      Mackenzie_E, Aug 2024
      This was super fun the caves were beautiful and the water was so clear. The only downside was the ticket said they were starting at 0930 but they didn't start handing things out and getting started until 1030. Other than that it was an awesome trip.

      Unreliable and un-.professional. Avoid this busines

      Kengo_B, Jul 2024
      Unprofessional and unreliable operator who does not communicate about canceling the event. It ruins the vacation plans The operator never showed up to the meeting place specified. Two other groups were also there waiting. The operator did not respond on chat provided by Viator app. The other group was able to confirm that the trip was cancelled. But none of group was notified about cancellation and ruined the vacation The operator cancelled due to inform weather. But weather was Sunday, no wind, no waves. It could not have been calmer. There were to local kayak trip operators which was making kayak trips. This operator is unreliable as other reviewers indicated. There is a local operator who is more reliable and less expensive. We were able to join the kayak tour right after we leaned that out operator cancelled the appointment. The local operator “Open Water La Herradura” was so kind and provided a guide outside of planned times learning that our operator cancelled our trip without any notification. I do not recommend this unprofessional operator but you will get reliable and less expensive tour if you call the local operator indicated above.

      Response from Host, Jul 2024

      Good morning, before publishing an opinion you should inform yourself. We guarantee that the activity could not be done, if you did it with another operator and put your safety at risk, we will not do it.

      Bad time

      Katia_Q, Aug 2023
      First they moved from 4 to 5pm, and started at 5:20 there were around 17 kayaks with 2 guides, They didn’t take care of the group propertly because they moved the group of sunday to saturday because the bad weather going to be. After a while my daughter was feeling tired and was scared of the waves, boats and jet skis around, we decided to tell the guide that we need to go back and he told us go by ourselves

      Experience stays in the memory

      Franziska_S, Oct 2025
      After the briefing it started despite stronger winds. Since the waves could not be kept under control we were not visiting the cave, but could still snorkel at a quiet located very small bay. A little positively exciting for unfamiliar kayaks.

      Coastal tour by canoe with dolphin

      Britt_W, Sep 2025
      Beautiful canoe tour along the coast with cave and orange corals. Snorkeling was OK. Highlight was the sighting of a dolphin. Also suitable for less sporty and the canoes are stable in the water. Louis provided information about the sights in Spanish and English. Without any problems, we were sent the photos taken afterwards.

      Kayaking tour

      Didier_C, Sep 2025
      Very good and very nice, jute shame when we put in the language choices , it offers French but they do not speak French but other than that it is not very serious as not much to explain. the rest is nice shame that for the diving part the place is not exceptional, just near the beach so no need to kayak to do the same.

      A disgrace

      Iker_M, Sep 2025
      We organized a trip my girlfriend and I Malaga and booked for kayaking, on Wednesday we showed up there and saw that it was very swell, which would be difficult to do the activity, we were thinking about canceling it and so on and to this we see that there is no one from the Enterprise there, it was closed, an hour we were waiting at the door of the room and calling by phone and nothing, not even an answer, has already happened a day, in the app of viator I do not return the money and the unpresentables of the Enterprise do not even respond, we came on vacation wanting to enjoy and it is a shame that we find this, but well, I hope that sooner or later we return the money, why changing the day is no longer an option, we leave today back... I don't understand how an Enterprise can function like this... But good.

      Funny experience with friends

      Pilar_C, Sep 2025
      We liked it very much, all the monitors very attentive to everyone, we arrived asking if it was there and all very friendly. There is parking nearby. You have to have a little physical background the turn gets a little harder the but very well. They explain what we are seeing and take pictures of you during the experience and then send them to you. We would repeat we had a great time.

      It was okay.

      Patrick_D, Aug 2025
      I saw a TikTok from the tour where waterfalls could be seen and the water was crystal clear. Unfortunately we didn't see any waterfalls and the short snorkel stop wasn't that special either. The water was a bit murky and you could only see a few small fish. The “highlight” was a small cave where orange corals grew on the walls. Afterwards we went back to the beach. The guides were nice and you got a good briefing. Unfortunately we did not get water to drink as it was stated in the booking! There was also no farewell, as we had to hand over our kayaks to the next group and the guides left immediately. All in all it was okay for 25€. Again, I would not book it anymore.

      Hello...

      Jerome_H, Aug 2025
      Hi, Kate. As soon as we arrive we see offshore that the waves are getting bigger and bigger. Despite the message received by another group that we should not go there we went anyway. Several people vomited because of seasickness which left the ride a little less fun, the waves rose up to 2m high.Because of the waves we could not get into the caves, otherwise the visit does not make much sense anymore. Despite this, we still have a memory that will be remembered.

      It's a very long journey for people who are inexperienced

      Jose_D, Aug 2025
      I got bad , I started vomiting and no one will pick you up.A boy q iva as a guide towed me the Kayak to his canoe and took me to the shore..They would have to have a boat or some method to take you to the shore, since you are in the middle of the sea and the journey is very long and the truth that I was terrible and had a great time..That I do thank the guide who took me , because the boy behaved great...

      Nice, but group too big! And bring your own snorkel set!

      Paula_M, Aug 2025
      The kayaking was very nice, unfortunately the group is far too large to understand all the explanations. Also English is very and very flawed. Also you can't call it snorkeling because we only got diving goggles and no snorkel. It was also not very clear where you could and could not snorkel.

      Luis was very friendly and a great guide, the sea was a little choppy but took us to the caves without problem, the penalty q was not the appropriate day to snorkel, but if to take a bath. I recommend the experience
