Surf more waves in one day than you ever thought you could in one week!

Kiteboarding can be challenging to learn because it doesn’t require much physical strength. Your weight, supported with the harness, will take most of the load away from your muscles, allowing you to ride as long as you can. Most people in good physical condition can learn to kiteboard, even kids.
The most challenging part of the learning curve is controlling the kite and to learn the basis safety of kiteboarding.

Kite surfing can be done at any waterfront location with consistent, steady side-onshore winds (10 to 35+ knots).
Los Lances Beach is one of the most suitable places in the world for kitesurfing.

Windsurfing

Thousands of people from all over the world arrive in Tarifa to witness and participate in a meteorological phenomenon unlike any other.

They wish to tame the winds of the East, West, North and South that seek refuge in this unique region of Cadiz. Kilometers of sand and beaches that distill charm provide the perfect scenery for practicing wind-surf – a water sport that requires having enough strength to match the force of the ocean as it invades the land every second.

None the less, it has a hospitable bend and it allows the surf-boards to sail the shores of Tarifa propelled by the wind. Don´t hesitate to give it a try- it doesn´t matter whether you are a beginner or an expert. The sensations are multiplied many fold when you practice it along the coasts of Cadiz.

Stand Up Paddle

Stand Up Paddle (Paddling or/and SUP) is an easy and exciting way to combine a strong core workout, but also being out on the water.

If you like riding on a horse at the edge of the Tarifa’s lengthy beaches try surf paddling on a board.

Diving

The Strait of Gibraltar, at the joint point of two continents, is astounding on the surface; but what can be found underneath the surface of its waters is even more breathtaking.

Divers can witness the shimmer of schools of tiny silver fish or the hypnotic swaying of millions of algae or they can immerse themselves in an ancient port of Phoenician and Roman ships, in the natural underwater pools, among the remains of an early 20th century sunken ship or around the stone walls carved out by tides.

The Las Palomas Island hides many secrets in the waters that surround it. If you are an expert scuba diver or just a beginner that wants to feel the excitement of breathing under water for the first time, diving along the coast of Tarifa will be equally satisfying.

Let yourself be impressed by the seas of the South of Spain.

Deep Sea Fishing

The Strait of Gibraltar is probably the best place in Europe to practice sport fishing.

As there is no overfishing by professional fishermen, and thanks to the special geographical and environmental conditions, it is a real magnet for underwater life.

From late spring to early autumn, the most popular species for sport fishermen gather in these waters. Some of them are:

Bluefin tuna
Blue marlin, white marlin and exceptionally, sailfish
Dolphin fish
Shortfin mako shark

These species are a valuable natural and touristic resource, so we’ll always give priority to their survival and return to the sea complying with current quotas and legislation.

On Horseback

Gallop on the back of a horse along the shores of a continent: the beaches of Tarifa are like a soft carpet beneath you as you wonder at the monumental dunes and the postcard views of the Natural Park they are a part of.

Wave to Africa. It is not far away from the back of one of the world ́s most wonderful and docile creatures. Feel the freedom of this corner of the “Costa de la Luz” or Shore of Light – the name says it all. Feel communion with nature in its purest state on one of our equestrian routes.

It doesn ́t matter what previous experiences you have had riding because you will not be let down. The world always seems different, almost eternal, when you ride on the back of a horse.
