Asturias is a popular vacation destination for sports and adventure enthusiasts, and the region captivates everyone. If you are one of those individuals who like trying the most typical things in a new place, you must rent a kayak! Even if you have no experience or little experience kayaking, you must paddle around the region's most famous waterways if you visit Asturias.

The routes you can take in a kayak in Asturias cover a wide range, and this sport is one of the most popular in the region; just think of the Sella to think of this type of boat. So, below, we will tell you about the best options for paddling a kayak in Asturias and letting yourself be carried away by the essence of this sport.

Where can you go kayaking in Asturias?

- The Sella descent in a kayak is legendary, so visiting Asturias between March and November and not getting into a kayak to undertake the route that best matches your level is virtually a sin. The entire path is around 20 kilometres long, but other alternative routes are available depending on how much paddling you want to do that day and your physical condition, as well as several breaks along the way if you decide to conclude the adventure. So the Sella descent is suited for both children and adults. It usually begins at Ribadesella or Llanes, so travelling to your next excursion won't be a problem.

You don't even need to be a great paddler because the sports guide will give you a tutorial on the fundamentals of paddling before you begin the descent.

You can even take your dog down the Sella! The majority of the companies who organize these journeys allow pets, so why not try something new in such an iconic activity?

- If you prefer to paddle around the sea in a kayak, Gijón is the place to go. We can rent a kayak to explore the coast of this coastal city and the capital of Asturias. Kayaking is possible along Poniente Beach, Punta Pea del Cuervo, and even San Lorenzo Beach. Undoubtedly, this is the most unique way to explore the spectacular Costa Verde.

- Llanes is another place where you can rent a kayak, and its coast is one of the best in Asturias for water sports, particularly kayaking. You will see unusual scenery, including white sand beaches with turquoise waters, cliffs, caverns, and areas with abundant local vegetation. You can charter a kayak tour for 1 hour, 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, depending on your level or the partner company you go with.

- The Villaviciosa estuary, with its more than 1,000 hectares, is the ideal location for a kayak descent (or ascent). This creek empties into the Cantabrian Sea, passing via Rodiles and Puntal, two beaches on the Asturian coast and will show you how beautiful this area is while you kayak along the course.

- Finally, if you want to go on a kayak trip but don't want to stick to a set itinerary, the best option for you is to rent a kayak in Asturias and tour around the locations you like most, on your own or with a group, and you can even change the route whenever you wish. It is one of the best ways to see the many beaches and rivers in the area, such as Celorio and Llanes.

So now you know, if you want to try something new, come to Asturias and go on a kayak tour. The best part about this sport is that it is suited for everyone! You do not need to be in excellent physical condition or train on a daily basis to have a good time. We guarantee that you will have a day filled with laughter and enjoyment with your family or friends. We merely want to warn you that everybody who tries it will want to do it again... Don't say that we didn't warn you!
