Guatemala · CANOES & KAYAKS
Guatemala punishes a bad booking with a long, bumpy ride. These 4 canoe & kayak trips won’t do that to you — each comes priced, timed and rated by the travellers who went.
Kayak and hike Lake Atitlan from Panajachel, with village trails, coffee fields, a cliff jump, and small-group guiding at Los Elementos.
“It was our first day in Panajachel and we had a blast with Diego. We picked the full day kayak and hike and we weren’t disappointed. We even got to go cliff jumping! Diego took great pictures of us and we never felt rushed.”
Kayak Lake Atitlan from Panajachel with early pickup from Antigua, coach-led paddling basics, and a private small group tour in English.
“We camped on the shore of Lake Atitlan after going to San Juan La Laguna. We were with my 93-year-old grandmother, they were very attentive to my grandmother and all of us. The food in the camp was excellent and the service overall. The water activities were spectacular. This was the second time I did this tour, since a year ago I had done it with friends, the first experience made me repeat this time, but with my family. P.S. Highly recommended tour!Auto-translated”

Alex helped all the time and adapted the second day to our capabilities. Cliff diving into the cool clear water, hiking unbelievable trails along the lake, and kayaking the clear blue waters. We have already…”
Kayak or paddleboard on Lake Atitlan, then hike and soar on an extreme zipline near Panajachel, with hotel pickup included.
“Alex was our guide. He spoke excellent English and was very easy to chat with. He picked us up at our hotel and took us into Panajachel to catch a water taxi across the lake to the kayaks. From there we proceeded to kayak for about 3 miles with a stop about half way at a cove that allowed for some casual swimming. Be sure to fully cover with sun screen! My shins got a little sunburned from sitting in the kayaks. After kayaking, we beached a little west of hotel Atitlan and walk a trail through the Atitlan Nature preserve to the zip lining location. Here Alex turned us…”
