Frequently Asked Questions: Kayak Rental in San Sebastián

We answer the most common questions so you can enjoy your kayak route in San Sebastián with complete peace of mind.

1. Where can I rent a kayak in San Sebastián to explore the bay?
The Real Club de Tenis de San Sebastián offers two rental points: One, the Itsas Eskola or Sea School, located within the Real Club de Tenis de San Sebastián itself, next to the Ondarreta ramp and open all year round. Two, Ondarreta Kayak by Real Club de Tenis de San Sebastián (open between June and September), a space right on the sand of Ondarreta beach and the most accessible and strategic departure point to start any rowing journey across La Concha Bay.
2. Is it possible to kayak to Santa Clara Island in San Sebastián?
Yes, it is the star route for active tourism in San Sebastián. Starting from the Itsas Eskola in Ondarreta, kayaking to Santa Clara Island is a spectacular ride. But beware, during the beach season, between June and September, you must tie your kayak to the buoys closest to Santa Clara Island and swim the rest of the way to the island.
3. Is prior experience required to rent a single kayak?
No prior experience is necessary. Navigating La Concha Bay is generally very calm, and our kayaks are models designed to provide maximum stability. Before setting off, you will receive key instructions from our technical team.
4. What type of kayaks do you offer for rent?
We offer single sit-on-top kayaks. They are very safe, open, unsinkable, and extremely stable vessels, perfect both for beginners and for relaxed routes along the Gipuzkoan coastline.
5. Can I rent a kayak if I don't know how to swim?
No. It is a strict, mandatory, and non-negotiable requirement to know how to swim independently to participate in any aquatic activity we offer, thus ensuring the highest maritime safety standards.
6. What is the minimum age to rent a single kayak?
The minimum age to rent a single vessel is 10 years old, provided they are accompanied by responsible adults. Additionally, young people between 16 and 17 years old can carry out the activity independently as long as they have a signed authorization from a responsible adult.
7. What happens if the kayak flips during the trip?
Although it is highly unlikely due to the great stability of the vessels, there is no danger. Being sit-on-top and open kayaks, you will not get trapped. You simply have to flip the vessel back over and climb back on, always counting on the buoyancy provided by the mandatory life jacket.
8. Is kayaking a good physical exercise?
Absolutely. Kayaking is an excellent aerobic exercise that strengthens all the upper body muscles (back, shoulders, and arms) and intensely works the core, all without creating impact on the lower joints.
9. What equipment is exactly included in the kayak rental?
The price of your reservation includes the vessel (single kayak), the paddle, the mandatory approved life jacket, technical instructions, locker space at our facilities, and the corresponding civil liability and accident insurance.
10. Where do I leave my personal belongings while kayaking?
At the Sea School of the Real Club de Tenis de San Sebastián, we have a locker service where you can safely store your backpack or a change of clothes while you enjoy the water. As a precaution, we always recommend not bringing items of high value.
11. What clothes or equipment should I bring to kayak?
A swimsuit is essential. We also strongly recommend using sunscreen, a strap to avoid losing your sunglasses in the sea, and a towel for when you return. You can navigate barefoot or with closed water shoes.
12. Are there changing rooms and showers available after the activity?
Yes. The Itsas Eskola itself has changing rooms and a cold shower to rinse off after going to the sea, facilitating a very comfortable tourist experience right on the beach at Ondarreta. If you prefer, you can also access the main Club changing rooms for a hot shower.
13. Is it necessary to book the kayak in advance during high season?
It is highly recommended. The demand for kayak rentals in San Sebastián during the summer months is massive. Managing your reservation online is the only way to guarantee the availability of equipment on your preferred day and time.
14. What are the available rates and times for renting a single kayak?
We offer rentals fully adaptable to your plans: 90 minutes (17 €), 2 hours (22 €), and 4 hours (29 €). If your idea is to peacefully paddle around Santa Clara Island or anchor for a while, the 2-hour option is the most balanced.
15. Are there special discounts if I am a member of the club?
Of course. The Real Club de Tenis de San Sebastián offers subsidized rates for those who hold membership status. The 90-minute rental, for example, is 13 €; 2 hours is 17 €, and 4 hours is 22 €. Member status only applies to the member and not to accompanying non-members.
16. Until when can I process my online kayak reservation?
For the high season (from June to September), the system closes registrations 2 hours before the chosen time slot begins. During the rest of the year, the schedule closes at 11:59 PM the day before.
17. What happens to my reservation if it rains or sea conditions are adverse?
Technical safety is the priority. If our team assesses that sea or wind conditions pose a risk, the activity will be blocked. Affected users will automatically be offered a full refund or a free date reschedule.
18. Can I cancel my single kayak reservation due to an unforeseen event?
Yes, respecting the timeframes of the booking conditions. You can cancel up to 48 hours in advance. After 48 hours, you can reschedule up to two hours before the activity's start time. Once that period has passed, there is no right to a refund.
19. How far in advance should I arrive at the Itsas Eskola?
Strict logistical punctuality is required. Every participant must arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled time to fit life jackets, grab paddles, and receive instructions without cutting into their experience time on the water.
20. How long does it take to kayak to Santa Clara Island?
At a gentle, tourist paddling pace, the journey from the sands of Ondarreta to Santa Clara Island usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes. Therefore, the recommended rental duration is at least 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing you to complete the round trip leisurely.
