What To Expect

This is a fantastic experience to do kayaking in the ocean and see marine animals in their natural habitat. Turtles, dolphins and a lot of fun are expecting you! We start the kayaking trip from the beach of Los Cristianos, and head to the PalmMar rocks, with their impressive caves and caverns. We go to a special place where sea turtles live, and do snorkeling to observe these lovely animals. PalmMar waters are also home to many other species of fish and marine animals, so what you see from the surface here will amaze you and leave great memories. Snorkeling with turtles lasts 30 minutes and is guided by an instructor. Then we do more canoeing in PalmMar to enjoy picturesque views of the area. Many times when we are lucky, we meet dolphins on our way and observe these playful gorgeous animals jumping around. The kayak trip lasts 2 hours and is accompanied by a professional guide. The minimum age is 6 years old. It´s a perfect opportunity to spend time with your whole family and friends, do some sports, get tanned, discover wild cliffs and inhabitants of the ocean. Our friendly instructors will welcome you warmly and show you the best of kayaking in the ocean.

    You need to be a wee bit for this activity. We did it on a calm day and I was knackered after it. We saw dolphins and a few turtles.

    When reading the description we thought that we were booking kayaking to go and see turtles, when in reality, we may as well not have bothered. During the briefing our guide, David, gave us the safety instructions and told us all to stick together to make it easier for them to help us in the event of emergency. He had a colleague with him as a second hand who I assumed would stay at the back of the group whilst David stayed at the front. In reality, as soon as David saw the pace of the quickest kayakers, he stuck with them. There were 2 occasions where we were left some 300 metres away from the rest of the group, and the second guide had joined the others at the front of the pack. Given the choppy conditions, if our kayak had flipped, there is no way that they would have been able to make it back to us quickly which was incredibly dangerous. In addition, we both had to paddle harder to try and keep up with them, so by the time we actually caught up to the group, I was feeling incredibly sick and unenergised. We told David that he needed to slow down and that I was feeling sick, and he eventually slowed the pace a little. The snorkelling goggles which we were given were shocking - they kept filling with water and fogging up, so neither of us could actually do the snorkelling properly either. Not that there were any turtles to actually see! On the way back I was so exhausted that I actually vomited, which should not have happened we weren’t sticking to a pace of experienced and professional kayakers. Another couple afterwards said exactly the same as us, that as beginners, this experience was not at all enjoyable for them. So, in summary, if you’re a beginner or not an experienced kayaker, do not bother. You will be dangerously left on your own in choppy conditions. This experience was a complete waste of money, I would not recommend it and I will definitely be looking at alternatives next time.

    It's my first time to do kayaking and snorkeling. Ayop, our tour guide, gave us an incredible and memorable experience. He was very patient and helpful. You can tell that he really likes what he does and not just doing it for the money. We saw a turtle surfacing the water but unfortunately we couldn't go near it as it was located near a protected area of the sea. Nonetheless, the overall experience was espectacular. He took us to a safer area to do our snorkeling as the waves were getting rough. He took pictures and videos in his GoPro. He will even lend it to you as you snorkel. They will send the pictures through your email for an additional cost but it's all worth it. You can also bring your own camera if you have one.
