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.

5.00I had a great time kayaking with Luna giving good instructions prior and during the tour. We saw 3 sea turtles and many dolphins. I was glad when another solo kayaker suggested we go together - it was easier to keep up than being in a single kayak! It was a bit cold even w the shortie wetsuit, so didn’t feel like snorkeling a long time, saw a few different fish while snorkeling.
Great day today with our...

5.00Great day today with our guide Coco. After reading some of the bad reviews I was a bit worried, but Coco is a great guide. Although I was struggling a bit to keep up, there were lots of breaks, allowing to catch up. He also explained everything to everybody, and was very helpful. Now about the ride itself, a word of advice, if you're not fit, you will struggle. Even if you may be a bit strong, if you lack endurance, you will struggle. This is like a bit of cardio exercise. And after all, it will also depend on luck if the ride will be eventful. Sea may be choppy, bad weather, poor visibility in water, no wildlife, they can happen, and it won't be under anyone's control. We were lucky today, we saw a few bottle nose dolphins, and I think a brown turtle. I missed most of it but the turtle almost bumped into my friend's kayak. Any way, the main reason for me to be on this trip was the snorkeling, which was quite fun, at least for me. Some people were a bit cold in the water. So, all in all, the trip is worth it, and the guide was brilliant. Thank you Coco!

5.00Tour guide Jessica was super nice and made sure the group did not harass the animals. You drive by a fish farm, where dolphins and turtles regularly pick up a snack. So sightings are actually guaranteed. Gladly again and best regards.
excellent tour

5.00Very nice experience to see turtles and dolphins in their natural habitat while respecting their environment. We could observe the dolphins jumping a few dozen meters from us thinking long minutes. The good humor of our Jackson guide also contributed to this beautiful experience! Possibility to share a kayak if you come together, or to have your own kayak if you are solo. Very nice experience, I recommend!
Pleasant experience all around

4.00Very helpful and funny guide (Max), saw some turtles, many dolphins, did some kayaking. Many other groups on the water at the same time but you still got some quiet moments with your own group and some animals.
