Rest assured that you will need our help, as the wide variety of places that can be discovered doing canoeing makes choosing a destination wisely an arduous task.

The first thing is to select an area where you can do canoeing in Asturias. But before selecting it, you will have to ask yourself a key question: what kind of canoeing tour do I want to do?

If you want to do a canoeing tour on a river in Asturias:

- The Descent of the Sella river: it is the traditional and star canoeing tour in Asturias. You will enjoy here a calm canoe ride in the beautiful scenery. Because of its great length, each stage will take you a different time given that canoeing tours generally last between 7, 10 or 15-kilometers.

- The Cares river: the Cares river is an authentic paradise for adrenaline lovers, as it is full of narrow stages that lead to rapids and rough white waters that will delight the bravest adventurers. However, one of the most outstanding aspects of canoeing tours here are not the rapids, but the crystal-clear freshwaters they carry. Due to the strength of its waters, participants should have previous experience in brave waters and an advanced age.

- The Deva river: the Deva river is considered the “little brother” of the Sella river. It is set in a beautiful natural landscape that seems as if take out of a fairy tale. This pretty scenery holds a canoeing tour suitable for everyone, marked with some natural waterslides.

Meanwhile, if you want to do a canoeing tour on the sea:

- Ribadesella: apart from mountain sceneries, Asturias is also home to ideal beaches that can be explored doing a canoe tour. The most traditional canoeing tours can be found in the coastal town of Ribadesella, in the middle of the mouth of the Sella river. Beaches are so beautiful here, that it is difficult to find words to describe them. Fine and white sand, turquoise waters and the coasts, which are full of large rocks. A stunning experience that you mustn’t miss.

- Llanes: another coastal town to enjoy a canoeing tour. In Llanes, you will find a lot of canoeing tours on the Barro estuary, that will lead you to the Palombina, Barro or Toranda beaches.

- Lastres: you will also find here total canoeing tours to enjoy the coastal views.
