What To Expect
Join this 3-hour kayaking & snorkeling adventure in Tenerife and get up close and personal with turtles and dolphins in their natural environment. Enjoy the beauty of sighting these beautiful animals in the wild, responsibly respecting their freedom and habitat. The adventure takes you along the spectacular cliffs of Guaza Mountain, which is a natural monument. The mountain stands over 400 m above sea level and the picturesque vertical cliffs provide a sanctuary and nesting place for many species of birds. After snorkeling in crystal clear waters, kayaking back to the starting point allows a great opportunity to view the coast of Tenerife and Teide from the sea and almost every time we are lucky to see playful dolphins along the way. While turtles or dolphins sighting is not guaranteed, there is a 90% chance of seeing them during the tour. It is mandatory to be able to swim in order to take part in the activity. The minimum age is 14 years old, this activity is not suitable for pregnant ladies.

5.00David was our guide and he was very helpful and sweet. We saw tons of dolphins and took really good videos of them and us!
Disappointing and isolating experience – would not recommend

2.00We booked the kayaking and snorkelling with turtles and dolphins tour and had a really disappointing experience from start to finish. We were the only English speakers in a very large group, and the instructor spoke almost entirely in French, laughing and chatting with everyone else while barely speaking to us. When he did, it was only a few short sentences and we felt completely left out. We were told we would “try kayaking for a bit” and could turn back if needed, but that never happened. The instructor didn’t check if we were okay at any point, despite us clearly struggling to keep the kayak straight and falling far behind the group. We were given no tips, no help, and no chance to take a break. We were also told we couldn’t go back alone because we were too far out at sea. The water was extremely choppy, we both felt very sick, and we decided not to snorkel — but the instructor never even asked if we were okay or why we weren’t getting in the water. He just carried on talking with the rest of the group. Eventually, we asked to join another group that was leaving and went back with them instead. We saw no turtles, no dolphins, and left feeling awful, seasick, and completely isolated. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for.

5.00Such a fun experience! Kayaking in the ocean is HARD, but William was so patient, kind and so invested in this experience for our honeymoon! He was phenomenal and someone I’d ask for over and over again!
Amazing.
