Cultural Travel

At Cultural Travel we are approaching two decades in the management of activities that combine leisure and nature. We are not limited to the organization of sports individually, but we are capable of offering each of them as part of a complete trip with transportation and accommodation. . We work both in the surroundings of our headquarters in Granada, and in national destinations where adventurers usually concentrate, such as the Asturian and Galician communities.

With a highly prepared team and specialists in all types of active tourism, our options are varied and planned in detail so that no one misses the wonders that our environment offers:

• Air activities: we organize light plane flights along the coast of Granada, Sierra Nevada or the Costa Tropical as well as spectacular rides in a balloonat dawn.

• Aquatic adventures in the mountains: such as canyoning, rafting or hydrospeed, using the white waters of the rivers that come down from the Sierra Nevada.

• Services at sea: this is the case of fishing from a boat, diving or excursions for whale watching,
boat rides, paddle surf routes or jet skis...

In addition, we travel to Morocco to show you our routes in 4x4 vehicles, always with transportation and a guide throughout the trip.

Specialists in groups of 20 people or more, we do not organize activities below this figure, we know how to make sure you have a great time with the usual people while you get to know amazing places.

At Cultural Travel we accompany you on your deep sea fishing day. This discipline will allow you to relax and learn to use patience as a tool that will be extremely useful to be successful in this sport.

Practicing from a boat offers us great advantages over what we can do on land since it lends itself to more modalities such as deep-sea fishing, trolling or bottom fishing. The boat allows us to approach certain habitats whose species will determine which option is ideal for capture.

At the same time, we can decide on methods that include the subsequent release of the specimens obtained, causing zero impact on the ecosystem.

You can try a group fishing expedition, especially taking advantage of a company or family event, sharing impressions at the end of the day.

We will take care of the material or, if you prefer and you are an expert, you can bring your own to share the best techniques with the rest of the amateur fishermen.

Agree on your appointment with us if you are at least a group of 20.

At Cultural Travel we will ensure that diving becomes your favorite sport from the first dive. To do this, we will use our activity center from which we will travel to the Granada coast, the Costa Tropical and points so well known for their wealth among professionals such as La Herradura .

If you are looking for your first contact with the underwater world, we recommend you start with a baptism of diving. This experience is shorter than a course but it will be enough for you to discover if you are in the right place without investing too much time or money.

At each baptism you will have:

• The usual equipment, consisting of neoprene, regulator, mask and fins. We will teach you its components and how to use them correctly.

• A short theoretical introduction on how to manage breathing underwater during diving.

• A dive that will be carried out in confined waters and at little or no depth, so that you feel safe and do not lose the feeling of control of the situation.

The service is not provided below 20 participants.

At Cultural Travel we go to Asturias to face the best-known canoe descent in the entire national territory. We leave from the town of Ribadesella to complete the itinerary that traces the Sella River entering from its urban landscape to internal sections completely in the forest.

Completing the descent of this river requires us to dedicate a total time that exceeds 5 hours along 15 kilometers. Therefore, participants who decide to tackle this challenge must be in average physical condition.

We also propose shorter routes, of only 3 hours of navigation and less difficulty, with which we facilitate access to the activity for a larger profile of people.

In any case, we provide you with a boat, paddles and safety vest. Before leaving, we also take care of giving you the pertinent instructions to avoid possible mishaps. Even so, keep in mind that this is a safe activity that allows adults and children to participate at the same time.

To be part of this activity we require at least 20 people.

Our goal is for you to achieve autonomy, although you must be aware that it cannot be achieved in a day. We offer you some courses where your evolution will be progressive, without skipping any steps and starting from the sand.
