The activity begins with a ferry crossing from Órzola, enjoying the coastal scenery and the sea breeze. Once in La Graciosa, you can explore the capital, Caleta de Sebo, and learn about the fascinating Chinijo archipelago.
However, the heart of the adventure lies in the turquoise waters of French Beach. This is where you will have the opportunity to glide over the sea in a kayak, feeling the freedom of the sea as you paddle at your own pace; and snorkel to get to know the seabed and marine fauna of the area.
It is a unique experience to appreciate the island from a completely different perspective, while enjoying the serenity of the landscape and the energy of the sea.
After your kayaking adventure, a delicious paella lunch awaits you on board the sailing boat, before you continue exploring the southern coast of the island. To conclude the day, we return by ferry to Órzola and take you back to your hotel in Lanzarote.

The best areas for free kayaking in La Graciosa
If you have your own kayak and prefer to go on your own, these are my recommendations:
Caleta de Sebo
It is the port and the urban centre of the island, where you can rent kayaks and other aquatic equipment. La Laja beach, which is located in the same village, is ideal for spending the day with the family or as a starting point for a kayak route around La Graciosa.
La Francesa Beach
It is a quiet beach with crystal clear waters, overlooking the Famara cliff of Lanzarote. It is one of the best beaches for snorkelling and kayaking on the island, according to the article. It can be reached on foot or by bicycle from Caleta de Sebo, or by taxi or catamaran from Lanzarote.
La Cocina Beach or Montaña Amarilla
It is a spectacular beach, protected by a yellow rock wall that gives it its name. It is perfect for snorkelling and kayaking close to the rock and observing the marine life. It is located in the south of the island, close to Francesa beach.
Salado Beach
It is a long, golden sandy beach, which starts where the village of Caleta de Sebo ends. It has stunning views and is easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. It is a good choice for a dip and relaxation, or for kayaking along the coast.
Las Conchas Beach
It is a wide and beautiful beach, located in the north of the island. It is ideal for watching the marine fauna and enjoying the scenery. However, be careful with the waves and the wind, which can be strong. It can be reached by taxi or bicycle, although the road is in poor condition.
The kayaking experience in La Graciosa
Kayaking in La Graciosa is a magical journey through azure waters, an act of gliding through a natural mirror that reflects the sky and the sun. Surrounded by birdsong and the rhythm of your paddles breaking the calm of the water, you feel embraced by the sea. Each paddle strengthens your connection with nature, while the salty air gives you a sense of freedom.
As you go, your kayak becomes a silent observer of the marine life and the impressionistic landscape of La Graciosa, with its golden beaches, green mountains and white houses in the distance. On this trip, you not only challenge your body but also find a meditation in movement, a dance with the sea that invites you to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.
The silence that follows the paddle is a haven of peace and serenity, leaving you in harmony with the island and the ocean. The experience of kayaking here is unforgettable, an adventure that stays with you long after you return to land, marking your spirit and your skin with the essence of La Graciosa.
