At Loredo Aventura we offer a very easy and pleasant kayak trip through the bay of Santander and the nearby areas, sailing calmly and obtaining magnificent views of Santander and the entire bay with its coves, nearby mountains and fishing villages.

The kayak tour that we propose lasts 3 hours and will take place from Pedreña beach towards the Cubas estuary passing through Somo from where we can also leave.

We have other itineraries such as:

You can choose between a single or double kayak for your adventure along the Cantabrian coast.

Loredo Aventura will provide you with everything you need for practice, monitor, sea kayak, life jacket, shovel, watertight container...

Have you ever surfed? With Loredo Aventura Surf you can practice this sport by starting out or perfect your techniques if you have already practiced it on another occasion.

The beaches of Loredo, in Santander, are the perfect place where you will find the ideal conditions for practicing this sport, where you will learn all the basics: wave formation, type of boards, how the material works, how to paddle, duck technique, of the turtle, how to sit on the board, what is the history of surfing, what are the rules in the water, etc.

We will teach you to practice standing up on the sand so that you can rehearse the technique and when you are clear about it you can do it in the water, first in foam waves and later, when you have gotten the hang of it, you can go deeper into the water.
Our main goal is for you to finish the course by standing on the board, where you will surf the wave in a straight line. When you have mastered this technique you will be able to make turns and acquire a higher level, we will correct your mistakes and help you overcome difficulties.

Enjoy a unique experience.After a surf course you will never see the sea the same again.

In front of the bay of Santander you can enjoy a vibrant adventure sport perfect for hanging out with your teammates, such as paintball. You will find it in Loredo strong>, 20 km from the Cantabrian capital, magnificent facilities with countless obstacles and parapets and forests with up to 14,000 m2 of space.

Being part of a group of 6 people and being over 14 years old you have all the requirements to come play paintball with us.

Choose between one of these game modes and go out there to battle with your marker gun:

• The capture
• Conquest
• Invasion
• Balls counted
• Bodyguard

You will start with 100 balls as an initial load with the possibility of reloading whenever it is used up.

The best quality material regarding guns, balls and protective suit will be available to you.

At Loredo Aventura we know multiple ways to establish contact with nature through the river. However, the most intense of them is the hydrospeed since through it you will face its channel alone with the only support of a hydrosled.

Protected by a special neoprene suit, with reinforcements in key areas so that it does not break on the rocks, and a helmet we will leave for the Ebro. There the facilities we have in Bustasur, in the municipality of Reinosa, they will give us assistance to prepare the activity. You will transport to the town in your vehicles but until the action point there you can leave them parked because we will have our own.

The basic information for booking a descent is that you will have to do it between the months of June and September, due to the characteristics of the waters, and that you must be over 12 years old and know nothing. From here we will be ready:

- We will go out with a guide who will navigate by kayak by our side to make sure that we are okay until we reach the end of the aquatic itinerary.

- We will face rapids of levels between II and III with some even bigger jumps that we will overcome as we will have indicated before starting.

At Loredo Aventura we use our knowledge of the ravines of the Cantabrian mountain range to bring you closer to them in exciting descents in which all the details are controlled.

We usually do the activity within the same day, dedicating an average time of 2 to 3 hours to it. However, this will vary greatly depending on the canyon we are facing. While we consider this to be the appropriate duration for those starting out in this modality, we can move on to much more intense action with those adventurers who request higher level descents. In any case:

- We will go out with a guide who will remain permanently with us. He will take care of both the instructions that we must take into account before entering the river and checking that each step we take inside is done safely for us.

- The material that we will wear over our swimsuit, which we will obviously take from home, will be provided here. You will be protected by a case and a complete wetsuit that will be part of the collective equipment that we will take to the ravine. We will need ropes and harnesses for the hardest rappels and obstacles.

At Loredo Aventura we use canoes as the healthiest way for the marine environment to enjoy the coastal environment in which we find ourselves. They allow us to move with our group sharing a boat or each one occupying one of them to use our arms moving the blades.

We use one- or two-seater canoes that, in addition to not being able to sink, are very stable. To make them even more comfortable, they have a backrest that can be adapted to our size and have a water-insulated bottle for our delicate belongings. With them:

- We go on a journey: starting at the Somo Bridge to reach the Ría de Cubas or on a second itinerary with which we intend to reach the Bay of Santander. It is also possible to follow other directions by consulting beforehand. Some of these alternatives go towards the Ría de Isla or pass through Noja and Tregandín.

- We make it easy to rent for those who want to try them: this service is available at several points. You can request them from Santander, going to the municipality of Somo, if you are in Pedreña or if the Ría de Ajo or Noja is better for you.

Through paddle surfing at Loredo Aventura we seek to give you another leisure alternative on the Cantabrian coast that is easy enough for you to get going at any time. By simply taking into account the sea conditions before deciding on the itinerary to advise you, we will be prepared to give you the instruction you need.

You will make round trip crossings that pass between the Somo pier and Playa del Puntal or the Ría de Cubas. It is also possible to follow the descents of this same estuary, those of Ajo or Mogro for 1 or 2 hours depending on our rental pricing. We will include you:

- The stand up paddle board: it belongs to the Bic Duratec model, being comfortable and with the width that will make it easier for you to balance even without experience. You will put on the Leash that we will lend you, a safety restraint that you will put on your ankle so that the board does not come loose if you fall into the water.

- To navigate you will go with a paddle: it is extendable because before starting the route you must adjust it to your size so that its handling is comfortable for you.

- On your body you will wear neoprene less in the hottest summer months because we do not consider it necessary. You will also use a vest that will provide you with extra security.

At Loredo Aventura we look for options that always overflow with emotion so that your time along the Cantabrian coast does not remain a simple visual visit. Rafting perfectly fulfills the objective of providing you with a universe of sensations in rivers that remain almost unchanged over time.

We will board you on an inflatable boat as a group with a qualified guide on board from Bustasur. This makes it one of the safest activities since he will be directly responsible for the boat in which you are traveling and no one knows better than him every obstacle that the river is going to pose for us.

There are levels suitable for each age group. If you go as a family, we recommend a level II descent because it can be done with children from 8 years old. If they are from 12 they are prepared for levels III and IV. Of course, you all have to know how to swim.

The sections we follow belong to the Ebro riverbed and connect Arroyo with Bustasur, Montes and Aldea and the Cañones area. They have durations between 120 minutes and 3 and a half hours. Our reservation date must be between June and September.
