The volcanic island of La Palma, the fifth largest in the Canary Islands chain, is lesser known than the others, but with steep mountains, deep gorges, and black-sand beaches, it's one of the most geographically dramatic. Paddle along the isle's western coastline with these guided kayak tours that take you from Puerto de Naos to Las Monjas beach and Charco Verde, with views of the jagged volcanic ridge of Cumbre Vieja. You swim and relax on black-sand beaches, and the whole trip takes four hours and makes a two-and-a-half-mile roundtrip voyage—easy for beginners.
