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.

4.00Ascari (the instructor) was great. Looked after us well. Great English. Happy guy. Found 1 x gigantic turtle at the surface for 2 minutes. Dolphins spotted but about 200m away unfortunately with the other set of kayakers. That’s nature! Nice afternoon out though. Maybe morning feeding and the marine life is more active!?!
A great experience!

5.00We had a lovely time in our small group led by Milan, who was fantastic! Saw dolphins and turtles up close, as well as beautiful views of the Ocean and Los Cristianos. Definitely take them up on the offer of a wetsuit if you’re not sure about how you’ll fair in cold water, the water is definitely fresh! We were pleased we chose the wetsuit option. Lots of providers offer similar experiences and we definitely felt like we made the right choice, in safe hands, well organised and easy to access.
Great family adventure

5.00You need good waterproof suncream, drinking water and adequate fitness but you may see dolphins and turtles if Marco rings them first. There's good instructions from the guide throughout. Be careful with loose items, one pair of sunglasses got lost when a couple got back into completely the wrong canoe and upended another single canoe in the process. A strapped down container is provided for your locker key back at base where you can leave your belongings. You can also strap down your flip flops. If you don't have much upper body strength getting back into the kayak is a challenge. Fortunately Marco our instructor dragged me back in twice but it was undignlfied to say the least! Overall a worthwhile trip but you must be willing to pay attention for your own safety. Don't underestimate the challenge, one canoe had to towed back by Marco as the occupants struggled and im pretty sure I will ache tomorrow. You may be asked to take your canoe back to the meeting point on a little dolly if you are on a later tour so be prepared to pull your weight!
