In Detail

This excursion is a wonderful experience designed for families, friends, and couples. Our tour begins at Los Cristianos beach, right in front of our dive center. After a brief safety and paddling technique briefing, we will board the kayaks and sail for about 30 minutes, enjoying the majestic coastal scenery until we reach the immense rocks of Palm-Mar.

Upon reaching these impressive cliffs and caves, an area famous for hosting Canarian turtles and a wide variety of species, we will anchor our kayaks. We will make a half-hour stop for a snorkeling session, always accompanied by our professional instructors. Observing this rich ecosystem from the surface will fill you with awe and give you the opportunity to swim in an authentic natural aquarium.

After enjoying the underwater spectacle, we will get back into the kayaks for the peaceful journey back. A 2-hour tour in total where you will combine sports, stunning volcanic landscapes, and the undeniable charm of Tenerife’s marine life.

  • On your own: You can arrive directly by car or taxi to the vicinity of the port.
  • Transfer from the North: If you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz and do not have a car, add our Bus to the south of Tenerife. It will drop you off in the centre of Los Cristianos, very close to the meeting point.

Important Details:

Our excursions depart from our dive center. It is vital to respect marine life at all times; turtles and fish are in their natural wild habitat. Although the probability of sightings is very high daily in Palm-Mar, as they are free-roaming wildlife, it can never be 100% guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share the booking of a single kayak and snorkel with my partner?

No, the booking for this activity is individual (price per person who gets on the kayak). However, if there are two of you and you want to do different activities, you can book the “Kayak + Scuba Diving Baptism Pack,” which does allow you to split up so that one kayaks and the other dives.

Do I need previous experience to ride a kayak?

Not at all! The route is designed for beginners. Our guides will teach you basic paddling techniques before setting off and will give you clear instructions on using the snorkeling gear. The only essential requirement is knowing how to swim.

Where do I leave my personal belongings while I am at sea?

We have a fully equipped physical dive center in front of the beach where you can leave your belongings in secure lockers with cameras, as well as being able to change clothes comfortably.

Can young children participate?

Yes, as long as they are at least 6 years old and know how to swim independently. It is a very fun and educational activity to do as a family.

Can I book transport from my hotel?

Yes, depending on your area. If you are staying in the South (Callao Salvaje, Las Américas, El Médano, etc.), you can add the transfer directly as an extra in the booking calendar. If you are staying in the North (Puerto de la Cruz), we have the product “Bus to Tenerife South” which you can add to your cart separately on our website to arrive comfortably.
