Active tourism has never been more popular. In recent years, the number of fans of this type of travel has grown steadily — activities of every kind that complement conventional cultural visits. It is a style of travel that means enjoying a destination in alternative ways: horse rides across the dunes, nautical multi-adventure on the beaches of Huelva, and much more. In this article we tell you about the multi-adventure activities you can do on your school trip to Doñana.
There are thousands of active tourism options available — you simply need to choose the activity or activities that best suit your group, according to ability level, age, travel dates, and interests. There is something for everyone: adventurous types, relaxed travellers, beginners, experienced participants, on the sea, or in the mountains. We give you all the options so you can pick the best multi-adventure activities for your school trip! Furthermore, if you book your trip with Natuaventura, pupils will be accompanied round the clock by trained and experienced group leaders; and, of course, also supervised and coordinated by the professional monitors running the booked activity.
4×4 route through the Doñana National Park
Would you like to visit the Doñana National Park in a different way? One of the multi-adventure activities you can do on your school trip to Doñana is a 4×4 ride across the dunes of this wonderful National Park — an experience that will undoubtedly become one of the most unforgettable moments of your school trip to the region. If you want to explore its forests and marshlands with a guided commentary and wildlife spotting, this is the activity for you. Your pupils will love it!
Nautical multi-adventure: canoeing or sailing
If the sea is what you love most, you can spend a full day at one of the great beaches of Huelva or Cádiz and try some of the water activities on offer there. Canoeing and sailing are two options accessible to all levels and ages, and a fantastic way to enjoy the Atlantic coast. Canoeing, for example, is ideal for groups: brief races between classmates, splashing around in the water… it is the best way to enjoy this activity.
Sailing is also a great option to alternate with canoeing. On the Atlantic coast, sailing is a fully immersive experience: living the sea in all its splendour, with the wind, the movement of the waves, and the workings of a sailing boat — knots and all. Do not miss it!
Introduction to Windsurfing and Kitesurfing
Windsurfing essentially involves moving across the water on a board using a sail. It is a very complete sport that develops the whole body and improves balance. Isla Canela beach and Punta del Moral beach are two of the best spots, as they generally have no waves and offer extensive areas of shallow water protected by sand islands. They also benefit from ideal thermal winds — a northerly breeze in the morning that keeps the water fairly flat, switching to a stronger westerly in the afternoon for more experienced participants.
Kitesurfing, on the other hand, is a gliding sport that involves using a traction kite, which pulls the rider via four or five lines — two fixed to the control bar and two or three power lines that run through the centre of the bar and attach to the body via a harness, allowing the rider to glide across the water on a board. Your school trip simply must include an activity like this!
Horse riding
Horse-riding routes are a perfect option for a school trip. A moment of calm, of connection with nature, and — in the case of Doñana — of enjoying a unique natural landscape, its vast beaches, and its cinematic sunsets. The horse-riding excursions organised along this coastline take in viewpoints and dunes.
