Canyons to Coast Adventure in Northern Spain

A fantastic week in Asturias (and Cantabria), with different activities every day, in the mountains, on the water and underground! Activities were really well organised and enjoyable, but not too technical for first-timers. And everything relatively close by, so no long drives. Our guides Carlos and Dario were outstanding - helpful, knowledgeable and great fun. The hotel in Llanes was fabulous, with huge garden and lovely pool with view of the mountains. Very welcoming staff and spacious rooms, with great breakfast. And close enough to the town to walk to restaurants and bars. I would have been very happy to spend another week in this beautiful place, and I'm already looking at other trips with these guys! Highly recommended

This trip was unbelievable! This was the most adventurous thing I’ve ever done. The sights, food, and amazing guides made the experience so memorable. Carlos and Dario were so fun and really helped our group understand the culture of Llanes. One thing I will say is that if you are not experienced with biking on rough terrain down steep slopes, the biking experience may not be for you. I am a novice biker, especially on an e-bike, and I fell off down the 1 steep and windy slope and again around a tight corner. I got some scratches and bruises, but that did not deter me from canyoning. That was such a cool experience. That and the hike through the Cares Gorge were my favorite parts. I will definitely do an adventure like this again!

A breath taking area to experience a wide range of activities. Outstanding value for money, high quality equipment, very friendly accommodation topped off with totally dedicated, professional and amusing guides. A company delivery true adventure in a modern way.

What a truly brilliant trip. It was carefully selected to suit us (son, daughter and partner and me) as every element sounded so good and it still managed to surpass every expectation: great accommodation, wonderful guides, exciting activities, delicious food (not always the case when vegan!), stunning locations, lovely group... I've been trying to think how it could have been improved, but can't come up with anything.

This was a great holiday. Got me out of my comfort zone more ways than one. The guides - Txetxu and Carlos made the holiday, they were passionate, knowledgeable and accomodating to everyone in the group and some great chats were had. They adapted the activities based on the weather each day, the food was amazing.

The activities were great and adaptable to the abilityy of everyone. The hotel was lovely and the staff were really helpful. Would recommend this holiday especially with Txetxu and Carlos.

Highly recommend the Canyons to Coast Adventure in Northern Spain! I went with approx 8 girlfriends and it was one of the best trips of my life. From the food, hotel accommodations, adventures, etc. it was all spectacular. Kudos to our trip guides, Jose, Txetxu and Carlos. As someone who was 9 months post knee surgery, I was a bit worried about my ability to do some of the excursions…they took such good care of us ensuring our safety while balancing fun. If given the opportunity again, I would say yes to this trip and Carlos/Txetxu every time.

This trip was amazing. For us, it was the guides that made it! Carlos and Txetxu were so kind, knowledgeable and supportive!

The days were long but well prepared and incredibly fun. A couple of tips - I should have worn walking boots for the caving and for me walking boots were a must for the walk as it was quite rocky at times in the path.We did not pack enough warm clothing - the weather was hit and miss and would definitely recommend more jeans than shorts! I was the eternal optimistic and took mainly shorts which was a regret.

The hotel is good for a base, simple and clean. The staff were great. It was quite noisy though as there’s no sound insulation between rooms so I’d recommend some ear plugs.

Food for us was no issue as we both ate meat and was great but for the vegetarian and vegan on the group they did struggle with options so if you do have dietary requirements it’s probably best to bring some snacks and maybe something for each trip!

Overall a great trip, brilliant guides and a great bunch of people.

Great trip, fun activities, great food and excellent guides. Would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend this trip for anyone or members of a group wanting to explore from one primary location. Our guides were awesome – knowledgeable, competent, and accommodating to individual abilities and comfort levels. The hotel served a nice breakfast with made-to-order options, had a supermarket around the corner, and was within walking distance to the heart of the quaint town. Each activity was seamlessly executed with every logistical detail taken care of in advance. The general consensus from my group was that this trip was a great value with top-notch service, authentic adventures, varied food selections at quality restaurants, and pleasant accommodations. Lots of laughs during this trip of a lifetime!

Outstanding adventure! Carols and Txetxu were excellent guides - very knowledgeable and professional. I’d love to bring my family back to experience this.

Perfect for our college reunion girls trip. Lots of adventure, great meals and time to catch up. Our guides, Carlos and Txetxu were the absolute best!

Went on the Canyons to Coast trip in June 2024 with 8 other close friends and it was absolutely beyond my expectations. The guides Txetxu and Carlos were so great. They ensured communications, safety, and comfort at all areas. I highly recommend.

It was a wonderful experience and one I look forward to repeating. Our guides, Txetxu and Carlos, were outstanding and really elevated the experience. Knowledgeable, professional accommodating and a lot of fun, I highly recommend Txetxu and Carlos as guides on your adventure. The equipment provided was very good and locations for the different activities beautiful and interesting. Logistics were handled nicely and the hotel accommodation was lovely with a great location and nicely run,

Spectacular land with the best guides on earth- Carlos y TxeTxu

This is a great value week packed with a different activity every day, but still allowing some time for sleeping (no early starts), relaxation, and exploring Llanes. The accommodation is lovely, but it is a 30 min walk to/ from Llanes town. The activities are all really fun and anyone can do them. The guides are great - very friendly and yet very professional at the same time. We were the first group of the season and had very mixed weather. Be aware that apparently it doesn’t normally get warm and sunny until June time- if I had known this, I would have booked a later departure. Doing all the activities in wetsuits and jumpers is a different vibe from what I generally go for! Overall though, I had a great week and would definitely recommend this trip to others.

I would rebook this trip every year! It’s the perfect mix of watersports, biking and hiking. Every activity was fun and perfectly organized. Watersports, next hiking, next day biking. Everyday was a fun new adventure. Absolutely loved our guides Carlos and Txetxu.

I had the most unforgettable time thanks to Carlos and Txetxu — two people who clearly have great chemistry working together to bring about a truly amazing experience. They are dedicated and evidently extremely good at what they do. I felt safe at all times and their infectious excitement to share their culture was deeply moving. Activities were perfectly organised and each day was a new adventure. Thank you again Carlos and Txetxu!!

What an amazing trip - the variety of activities, the location, the food, the craic we had as a group and all thanks to the best guides ever, Carlos and Txetxu. If anyone is contemplating a trip in this region of Asturias, don’t hesitate, book!!

Such an Amazing Escapade. The trip was clearly thoughtfully crafted and Llanes was unbelievable. (And the FOOD!!) I cannot thank our guides enough. Went with family and it will be an experience we talk about for years to come!

Fantastic week away!

I thought it was a fantastic trip. My first with this company and I highly rate it on first impressions. I enjoy the activities and pace overall. The accommodation was lovely, quiet and clean. Staff were incredibly friendly. Its a good 20 min walk from restaurants or the beach. But no complaints there as we had great weather and enjoyed the walk. The hosts were super, lots of energy and very capable and knowledgeable of the area. Felt in safe hands and enjoyed their company. The whatsapp group was great to connect with others and ask questions, share photos. Highlight was the hike and biking day for me, and the general great atmosphere and lovely people. Inspired me to come back to the area and explore more!

spent a most enjoyable week in the company of Txetxu and Carlos , all activities were really well thought through vis a vis duration and safety . Hotel was well chosen and the local restaurants chosen by our guides a revalation! All in all really good value for money!!

Great trip. Great guides, fun activities, good accommodations. Beautiful part of the world - sea meets mountains with so much to do.

Great guides. We had great weather. The treks were challenging especially Caving and Canyoning. But great tiring experiences. As a 72 yr old agility was limited but made it through. Highly recommend.

An amazing week in the stunningly beautiful area of Asturias. A full program with a nice mix of activities - I would not have wanted to miss out on the hike Ruta del Cares, canyoning and caving. The guides were brilliant, very helpful and fun. All in all a fantastic experience!

Ok

This holiday does exactly what it says on the tin…but so much more. You’ll see from the itinerary (& from what others have voiced) that there’s a varied range of activities, all really well thought out and accessible to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the caving (as someone with mild claustrophobia & fear of being deep underground); and this was down to the skill and knowledge of the two fantastic guides. Txetxu & Carlos and also the e-bike trip (something I had always been quite dismissive of), which was so much fun! Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!

So the activities were great, well planned out & really showcased all that this fantastic region has to offer, but what made this trip really stand out was indeed the fore mentioned guides. Throughout the trip they provided exactly the right amount of guidance, support & knowledge. Different in temperament they balanced each other perfectly, with the own style and unique comments of praise….and in Carlos’s case his animated hand gestures really said it all.

It’s a 5 stars review from me, from the pre trip information through to the daily briefings on what to wear & bring, the food, and of course my fellow travellers, who were a lovely bunch of people too!

Fantastic week! Good balance of activities so you don't get bored (or muscles get tired!), hosts who went out of their way to make sure you had fun and got to experience everything the region had to offer. You can tell they love Asturias! All the gear used was good quality, lunches great etc didn't feel like any corners cut. Highly recommend!

Absolutely bleedin’ brilliant! The trip is a fabulous mix of activities (works both your arms and legs so do turn up with some fitness) from the beauty of caving, to the adrenaline rush of canyoning, to the amazing group joy of mountain e-biking. Carlos and Txetxu were so great, and handled everything with diplomacy and patience. I’m hoping more mixed activity trips will come up in the Asturias region - it’s stunning

This was definitely one of the best life experiences I've done so far. txetxu and Carlos were amazing guides. They were both very friendly and a good laugh, their food recommendations were on point and all the activities were amazing not only for the scenery and the fun we had but both txetxu and Carlos knew so much about the local land and geology. You can tell they both have a passion for the outdoors which made them perfect guides for this trip. Would definitely recommend this trip to see the hidden gems of northern Spain.
