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.

The title “kayaking with dolphins and turtles” sets pretty high expectations that aren’t entirely realistic. While we did see a couple of turtles, the dolphin part is a bit of a stretch. The tour takes you near a fish factory, which attracts wildlife—including dolphins—but due to restrictions, you can’t get very close, so spotting them is more from a distance rather than swimming alongside them. That said, the kayaking part itself was beautiful, offering great views of the cliffs, and our guide, Coco, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and engaged. The overall tour lasted about three hours, mostly kayaking, but the snorkeling portion was quite brief (around 10 minutes), which felt a little short given the length of the trip. All in all, it was a nice experience, but just be aware that the wildlife aspect might not be as up-close as the title suggests.

Children under 14 years old are not allowed, trash tickets, blame for bad information by both viator and the company.

Fantastic experience with friendly and knowledgeable instructors. Make sure you arrive 10 mins before your booking starts to get kitted up and sign the waivers. It’s a great paddle into the Atlantic, quite chippy, but the kayaks are really buoyant, you’re paddling for over 2 hours, so it’s a fair bit of work, but once you get onto the rhythm it’s great fun. A couple of our party did get sea sick from the bobbing about, but hey it’s the Atlantic :) Instructor was really patient and looked after everyone. The snorkelling was brilliant, saw hundreds of fish. Best of all, we did see a turtle close up as we were paddling, so great result. Overall a brilliant experience.
