Multiadventure Activities to Do in Cantabria

On your end-of-year school trip you will be able to take part in numerous multiadventure activities in Cantabria. A school trip is very different from a conventional holiday: these are short trips of 3, 4 or 5 days, all-terrain affairs packed with activities and excursions so that pupils make the most of this time together outside the classroom.

Active tourism is increasingly in demand, and it includes multiadventure activities such as horse riding, kayaking routes, caving, canyoning and a long list of other activities with which you can enjoy your surroundings in a far more fun, active and entertaining way. On school trips, pupils seek the excitement and outdoor activity they have not shared with their classmates during the year, within the four walls of the classroom. Cantabria as a school trip destination offers a wide range of activities that will leave you wanting more. We reveal the most important ones!

Treetop Adventure Park

One of the star activities on end-of-year trips is the Treetop Adventure Park, as it includes numerous circuits adapted to all levels, heights and ages, made up of zip lines, climbing areas, monkey bars, boarding nets, walkways and more.

At Treetop Adventure Parks everyone has a great time regardless of age, and they enjoy nature in a different way. They overcome their fears, practise their physical skills and have fun in a safe environment — they will have the time of their lives!

Surf

Cantabria, thanks to its location on the Cantabrian coast, is a key spot for catching good waves. With a climate influenced by Atlantic Ocean winds, it is a coastline with a great surfing tradition, full of beaches and high-quality rock breaks. Although many people are unaware of it, Cantabria was the birthplace of surfing in Spain. The first surfers, boards, schools and surf shops were born here, and they have earned recognition over more than 40 years of tradition.

The number of surfers grows every year, at all levels and ages, and Cantabria boasts a quantity and variety of breaks that need not envy anywhere else in the world, with waves suitable for both beginners and professionals.

Canyoning

Canyoning is another activity that has recently become popular among school groups. Choose the canyon you like best for your trip — vertical, aquatic, dry or mixed — and enjoy an unforgettable day of adventure. Equipped with a wetsuit, harness and helmet and using different descent techniques, you will enjoy an activity full of thrills: jumping into pools, sliding down natural chutes or descending waterfalls — the closest thing to a water park in its natural state. The best-known canyons in the Cantabrian region are Vega de Pas, Río Saja and the Picos de Europa.

Canoeing

Canoeing is one of the most accessible and enjoyable activities to do as a group. For both primary and secondary school groups, it is an activity everyone enjoys together: racing, splashing water, brief dips, and teamwork are just some of the elements of this activity. Where can groups canoe or kayak in Cantabria? The most popular places are: the Cares-Deva river, for a higher level of difficulty and older pupils; the descent of the Asón river; or the Santoña Marshes, a very gentle excursion for younger students.

Hiking

Another essential and enriching plan on an end-of-year trip to Cantabria is hiking. It is a healthy, educational activity in which pupils enjoy nature and wonderful landscapes, with togetherness at its heart. Here is a list of the most popular routes in Cantabria:

  • Fuente Dé Route
  • Visit to the Faro del Caballo Lighthouse
  • Túnel de la Engaña Route
  • Senda de los Puentes de Ucieda Trail
  • Desfiladero de la Hermida Gorge Route
