Moonlight Kayaking in Benidorm: Dinner on the Beach

Kayak through moonlit coves, swim in the sea, eat dinner under the stars

Moonlight kayaking in Benidorm is a 2.5-hour paddling activity on self-emptying kayaks through the coves near Villajoyosa, led by a guide-instructor, with a dinner stop on the beach and a swim. The route follows the full moon and best coves, with single or double kayaks available for all fitness levels and no prior experience needed. Children are welcome from age 10.

The experience

The paddle lasts two and a half hours total, with a dinner break built in. You'll use self-emptying kayaks (either single or double) that are stable enough for anyone, and a guide-instructor stays with the group the whole time. The route moves through the best coves around La Vila Joiosa, timed to catch the moonlight and the full moon itself. Weather can shift the exact route, but the coves and the timing stay the same.

Dinner happens on a beach after you paddle back to the starting point. You choose from a special burger, special or vegetable sandwich, salad, or various sandwiches, plus a drink. The operator sets up the spot so everyone can eat while looking at the moon and stars. After dinner, you're done, though the itinerary mentions a swim in the cove is part of the night if you want it.

What's included: the guide-instructor, both kayaks; a paddle and life vest; photos taken during the activity; a watertight bag for your phone and keys; dinner; and accident and liability insurance. Bring two towels, a T-shirt, dry clothes for dinner, a swimsuit, and water shoes with foot support, not flip-flops. The operator provides the kayak and safety gear. You bring what you'll wear in and out of the water.
