Sea Kayaking Lanzarote

Sea Kayak Weeks Aboard a Catamaran - around Lanzarote and the archipelago

From 20th - 27th October and from 27th October - 3rd November 2025, we'll be running 2 weeks of catamaran supported sea kayaking weeks. Sleeping on a catamaran, and launching and landing from one, eliminates the need to work around the problem with launching and landing through the swells at the beaches. This opens up a lot more paddling opportunities in more exposed, wild sections of coastline, and the catamaran means we can reach the islands further north and paddle some really remote areas. We'd be sleeping in a catamaran every night and paddling for 6 days, with a likely itinerary being Lobos Island, the east coast of Lanzarote and all the islands in the Chinijo archipelago - La Graciosa, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste and Alegranza. Normally we're not able to reach Alegranza as it's quite far for a day trip and transport would be very expensive, but it's perfect for including in the catamaran trip! Because we can reach so many places with the catamaran, and can also do one-way paddles, there are also options to do downwind paddles along the Famara cliffs from La Graciosa to Caleta de Famara depending on the weather, or have a day sea kayak surfing somewhere like Punta Corrales or Playa Francesa on La Graciosa. The west coast also becomes more of a viable option despite the swells, because we don't have to launch and land at the beaches - we just paddle out of our catamaran in a leisurely fashion! October/early November is on average the least windy time on the island, with an average F3 wind. Water temperature is around 23 degrees and we have lovely balmy warm evenings at that time of year, with daytime temperatures normally 25-30 degrees. This is also an excellent time of year to see the seabirds before they leave their nesting colonies on the islands in the north. Expect to see a lot of Cory's shearwaters and Eleonora's falcons in particular, as well as species like Madeiran storm petrels and Bulwer's petrels. And of course the usual ospreys and Barbary falcons. Being on the sea for a full week also increases our chances of spotting some of the many species of dolphins and whales we get here.
