In detail

Join us on an exciting kayak and snorkel adventure in Tenerife, and witness dolphins and turtles in their natural habitat with the only ecologically certified kayak company on the island.

Our kayaks do not scare or disturb these creatures, allowing you to enjoy them up close without altering their natural environment. You may be surrounded by pods of up to 30 dolphins, which often put on a display by jumping through the air.

The waters of Tenerife are home to five different species of dolphins, including bottlenose dolphins, which are easy to spot. Other species that inhabit the Atlantic Ocean, such as rough-toothed dolphins, striped dolphins, and common dolphins, can also be found in these waters.

The Canary waters also harbor different species of turtles, and we almost always encounter green turtles and sometimes loggerhead turtles along the way.

While we cannot guarantee the sighting of these wild animals, there is a 90% chance you will encounter them on your trip. As a bonus, we make a stop to swim and snorkel in a bay accessible only by boat, where you can observe even more marine life. You might even see turtles or bull rays gracefully gliding along the seabed below you.

Please note that you must be able to swim to participate in this excursion.
