Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna
Description
We operate in small groups for optimal comfort, making sure every person is well looked after. Our competent & passionate guides ensure nothing but great supervision throughout the trip. Office facilities available. Our guests can leave personal belongings with us and use bathroom facilities if needed. If you are a beginner, we will teach you how to paddle and use a snorkeling mask. The trip starts in the sandy beach area, making it easy to enter and exit the water. You will have an opportunity to spot wild bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles that frequently visit the area. We take your photos throughout the trip (not included in the price) so you can concentrate on the experience itself and enjoy your time in full presence. Important info for families with kids: Children under 11 years old go in the same kayak with parents/guardians and don't use a paddle. If a child has kayaking experience, is bigger and capable of paddling, they need to join the excursion as an adult.

Great experience! Saw lots of turtles ❤️ Guide was very patient and fun!
Everything super neatly arranged and really nice experience
I had the most amazing time that I booked again and went twice in one week! The first time I went with my daughter and Manuel was our guide. As my daughter gets quite seasick, she struggled to paddle and therefore we were not able to paddle as fast as the rest of the group, but Manual ensured we all stayed together and did not get left behind. Despite her feeling very unwell she still describes the experience as amazing, particularly as we were able to see many dolphins in the wild up close. We also saw other marine wildlife whilst snorkelling, including a stingray which was amazing! I booked to go again a few days later and this time I went by myself. I was told that I could either go in a kayak with another solo visitor or I could go with the guide - who was Chris on this trip - which I was fine with. On this trip we also saw dolphins, and we were also fortunate enough to see several loggerhead turtles, one being mere meters away from my kayak! Knowing that I had come along a few days before, Chris kindly suggested we go to a different snorkelling location which was just as beautiful as the place we went to before but it was nice to see things from a different perspective One of the selling points for me before going on the trip was that it was advertised as small-group kayaking. On both occasions, our groups consisted of less than 10 people, and the experiences felt much more personal than what I would expect in a large group trip. The guides would tell us things as a group, as well as individually and were able to cater to our own individual experiences, which was so lovely. I saw other much larger kayaking groups whilst we we on our trip and I think I would’ve felt very overwhelmed being in groups of such sizes. Things to consider: - This trip does require you to have a relative level of fitness. Although I am active and physically fit in my day to day life, I found the first trip with my daughter particularly difficult as I had to paddle the kayak mostly by myself. The second trip with another person who could paddle was much easier. - You are able to take things aboard the kayak at your own risk. I was provided with a water bag and was warned this wouldn’t keep my things completely dry but it was to provide them with a safe space aboard the kayak My advice: - If you are someone who suffers with motion sickness, take medication beforehand if you can. - If you want to take your phone, buy a waterproof case beforehand - ideally one that floats in the unlikely case it drops into the ocean. - If you enjoy free-diving or just simply want to see more on your trip, I think it is worth taking flippers. Whilst googles, a snorkel and a life jacket are provided, flippers are not. I took my flippers on the second trip so I could swim deeper during the snorkelling part of the trip, and the guide was also able to get some really cool pictures and videos! - Photos are taken throughout the trip which cost €20 for you to receive digitally. In my opinion, it is well worth paying for as the photos I took myself were no where near as good as the ones taken by the guides. On both occasions, I received the photos within 24 hours of the trip. Overall, the experience was amazing and I would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of booking! I will definitely book again when I come back to Tenerife!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review! The fact that you enjoyed the experience so much that you came back and joined us twice in one week truly means the world to our whole team. We’re especially happy to hear how Manuel looked after you and your daughter during the first trip, making sure you never felt rushed or left behind. We understand that kayaking can be challenging when feeling unwell, so we’re glad you still managed to enjoy the experience together. It’s wonderful that the snorkeling and marine life made those moments even more special! And what a pleasure it was to welcome you back for your second trip! Chris was delighted to show you a different snorkeling spot and create a slightly different experience for you. We’re so glad you enjoyed discovering a new part of the coastline and had another memorable day on the water. Your comments about our small groups are particularly appreciated. We genuinely believe smaller groups allow our guides to pay attention to each person, adapt to different abilities and make the experience feel much more personal. It’s great to know that this came across during both of your trips. Thank you as well for sharing your practical tips with future guests. Your advice about motion sickness, waterproof phone protection, bringing fins and the optional photo package is incredibly helpful. Most importantly, thank you for trusting us with two special days of your holiday. We’ll be absolutely delighted to see you again when you return to Tenerife!
Very beautiful experience, lucky to have encountered turtles and a hammerhead shark Our guide was the best!!! I highly recommend it ✨
Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe avis! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un si bon moment et que notre guide ait contribué à rendre cette expérience spéciale. Votre recommandation nous fait vraiment plaisir! Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une prochaine aventure en mer!
My 16-year-old son and I did the activity on our last day of the trip in Tenerife and it has left us with a nice memory to close our trip. Thank you Inma for your welcome and Chris for making us enjoy the experience. It was worth it, the kayak trip and snorkeling. We were able to see dolphins and turtles and many little fish. Highly recommended. Great professionals. Thank you
¡Muchísimas gracias por vuestras bonitas palabras! Nos hace muy felices saber que pudisteis cerrar vuestro viaje a Tenerife con un recuerdo tan especial. Inma y Chris estarán encantados de saber que disfrutasteis del kayak, el snorkel y de la experiencia en el océano. Para nosotros es muy importante compartir el mar de forma cercana, segura y siempre respetuosa con la vida marina. ¡Gracias por elegirnos y por recomendarnos! Esperamos volver a veros en Tenerife!
Great trip, saw what they said we’d see, Chris the guide was superb, thanks for borrowing your snorkel :)
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you had a great trip and enjoyed the experience. Chris will be happy to know you appreciated his guidance—and he's always happy to help, snorkel included! 😄 Thanks for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Tenerife soon!
Chris was excellent! We saw dolphins, hammerhead shark, turtles and octopus. Fantastic day. It was quite physically demanding as we were going against the wind but well worth it.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an unforgettable day with Chris. It's great that you were able to experience so much marine life and that the adventure was worth the effort, even paddling against the wind. Thank you for mentioning the physical aspect too—it helps future guests know what to expect. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Me and my son booked this trip a week in advance and we were both very excited for the trip. My son loves snorkling and ocean life. We were hoping to see dolphins, and boy, were our expectations met! We saw two dolphin-families jumping out the water and a hammerhead shark! On the downside; for me personally, I get seasick... I got seasick as expected but our guide Manuel was amazing! He took care of me and my son all the way back making sure we were ok 😁 5/5 for Manuel and 5/5 for the Trip!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled that you and your son had such an unforgettable experience and that nature put on such an incredible show for you. It's especially great to hear that Manuel took such good care of you when you felt seasick—he'll be delighted to read your kind words. We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure soon!
The owner Inma is a very nice girl, she was attentive to us the whole time and recommended many things to us afterward. The instructor Chris was also super friendly, he was learning Spanish but he managed very well with the language and was very good at diving, very entertaining to repeat with them.
¡Muchísimas gracias por vuestra fantástica reseña! Nos alegra saber que Inma os hizo sentir tan bien atendidos y que sus recomendaciones os fueron útiles. Chris estará encantado de leer vuestras palabras; se esfuerza cada día por ofrecer una experiencia divertida y segura. ¡Ha sido un placer teneros con nosotros y esperamos veros de nuevo muy pronto!
Superb experience from a fantastic team. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and we felt as though we were in safe capable hands. Would definitely be booking again with this company next time we visit. Chris is a legend of a guide.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed every minute of the tour and felt safe with our team—that's exactly the experience we aim to provide. Chris will be thrilled to hear your kind words! We can't wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Tenerife!
