Description

On our Suances Boat Tour you'll discover either the bay or the estuary of this beautiful Northern Spanish town. You'll spend 1 hour sailing past the most iconic spots on the Cantabrian coast.

Suances Boat Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet at Suances Port and board the boat that'll take us on a tour through the San Martín Estuary or along the Suances coastline.

Our route will vary depending on the weather. If the weather conditions are favourable, we'll sail along the coast of Suances and travel to Rabbit Island. We'll skirt this islet and sail by the Punta del Dichoso until we reach the famous Los Locos Beach, where we'll see the impressive cliffs on the Cantabrian coast.

If, on the other hand, we have adverse weather conditions, we'll sail into the San Martín estuary where we'll be able to observe the Suances wetland's great avian biodiversity. From the boat, we'll discover the details of the whaling activities that took place here between the 12th and 17th centuries.

We'll also enjoy a tasting of steamed mussels on board, accompanied by a glass of white wine. Delicious!

After 1 hour touring Suances, we'll return to the starting point and say our goodbyes.

La actividad estuvo estupenda. Buen trato del patrón y el marinero a bordo. Y aunque los mejillones degustados eran pequeños y el vino aceptable, el entorno lo mejora todo. Eso sí no hay variación en la actividad si se contrata con civitatis o con la naviera en el propio puerto. Hasta ahora todas las actividades que he contratado con civitatis eran un plus por el valor añadido del guía que aquí, no existía. Y por tanto el precio considero que ha sido un poco elevado.

The activity was great. Good treatment of the skipper and the sailor on board. And although the mussels tasted were small and the wine acceptable, the environment makes everything better. Of course there is no variation in the activity if it is contracted with civitatis or with the shipping company in the port itself. Until now, all the activities that I have contracted with civitatis were a plus due to the added value of the guide that did not exist here. And therefore the price I consider to have been a bit high. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha estado genial. Nos han llevado por la ria en lugar de mar adentro, supongo que por estar la mar tan baja. Pero es un paseo chulo. Yo esperaba que nos pusiesen un par de mejillones por cabeza y poco mas, pero nos han traido una fuente por mesa de mejillones al vapor, y una jarra de vino y otra de refresco, y luego pudimos repetir.el trayecto es como 1 hora. Translate this opinion into English.

It's been great. They have taken us along the estuary instead of out to sea, I suppose because the sea is so low. But it's a cool ride. I expected that they would give us a couple of mussels per head and a little more, but they brought us a platter of steamed mussels per table, and a jug of wine and another of soda, and then we were able to repeat. The journey is about 1 hour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Para alguien de tierra adentro como yo, la experiencia ha resultado muy divertida. Había algo de oleaje y el barco cabeceaba unas veces y se bamboleaba otras. El paisaje en Cantabria, espectacular. Para rematar nos ofrecieron refrescos y mejillones recién cocidos con agua de mar. Lo puedo confirmar porque he visto como cogían el agua. Lo recomiendo. Es una experiencia redonda. Translate this opinion into English.

For someone from inland like me, the experience has been a lot of fun. There was some swell and the boat pitched sometimes and swayed sometimes. The landscape in Cantabria, spectacular. To top it off we were offered soft drinks and freshly cooked mussels with sea water. I can confirm it because I have seen how they took the water. I recommend it. It is a round experience.

El paseo está muy bien. La única pega es que en nuestro caso el mar estaba alborotado y nos mareamos. No pudimos degustar el vino ni los mejillones. Aconsejo no comprar con antelación. Nosotros lo hemos hecho en agosto y había sitio. Así, si llegas allí puedes preguntar cómo está el mar (el mar abierto, en el puerto no hay problema) y decidir si lo haces o no. El barco se movía mucho. Depende también de la sensibilidad de cada persona. Translate this opinion into English.

The walk is very good. The only downside is that in our case the sea was rough and we got seasick. We couldn't taste the wine or the mussels. I advise not to buy in advance. We have done it in August and there was room. Thus, if you get there you can ask how the sea is (the open sea, in the port there is no problem) and decide whether to do it or not. The ship moved a lot. It also depends on the sensitivity of each person. Opinion translated. Show original.
