Another fantastic day out for all the family is at Cable Ski Marbella, which is actually at Guadalmina, about a 10 minute drive from the apartment.
Fully trained instructors are there to help people of all ages and abilities, to waterski, wakeboard or kneeboard while they are pulled along the lake on a cable system . The cable speed can be adjusted according to age and ability and trips last approximately one minute. Even if everyone doesn't want to take part, it's still a great day out as there is a restaurant and a pool on the premises to accomodate little ones not old enough to ski. So you can go and be involved as much as you want or just chill and watch the more adventurous do their thing.
This review is taken from Marbella Family Fun website:
"We have been going to Cable Ski Marbella every year for the last eight years and absolutely love it. At this facility you can ski, kneeboard or wakeboard. Two people can go on a kneeboard, which is really fun and I can´t wait to start this summer with my 5 year old son.
The ride lasts a couple of minutes and there are probably about 10 people that go on one after the other. Kind of like a snow ski lift. When you fall you simply swim out of the way and wait for a boat to pick you up for the next round.
It´s best to buy a packet of 5 or 10 rounds, and if you don´t use them up the same day you can come back and use them another day. All the equipment is provided including life jackets.
Cable Ski Marbella is a great place to have birthday parties too as they can set up a bouncy castle, provide food from their restaurant and the kids have a great time on the playground next to a grassy area that overlooks the lake, which is huge. This is particularly nice in case you go with kids who don´t or can´t cable ski and they can just hang out and play in this area.
I definitely recommend Cable Ski Marbella as a great family outing and a sporty day out. You really feel good at the end of the day."
