Had a great morning kayaking & snorkelling - Had a great Morning Kayaking & Snorkelling with Kayaking Tenerife Atlantis. Ekaterina Lavrentyeva really made the event special explaining a lot on route and very helpful in general be it helping launch or recovery of the kayaks, to even helping people get back onto the kayaks after the snorkel session. Big thank you Ekaterina for making the event such a good experience while giving us confidence in our safety at all times. The Kayaks are very stable and everyone in our group managed the morning with ease. Would definitely recommend Atlantis!

A definite holiday highlight - A fantastic experience. Our first time sea kayaking and we were a little nervous before hand but our guide Victoria was extremely professional and thoughtful in the way she handled the group. We didn’t see turtles but were treated to dolphins swimming 2 metres from our kayaks.

Fun and Memorable Trip - Had a great kayaking trip! The pace was quite fast, which made it tricky to really search for wildlife while keeping up, but it was still an exciting experience. Our guide, Marta, was fantastic – really helpful and gave clear explanations along the way. The snorkeling spot was busy and choppy, with lots of other kayakers and divers, and while we didn’t see turtles or dolphins this time (which we knew wasn’t guaranteed), it was still a fun and memorable outing. Excellent communication with Atlantis.

Very nice experience - I recommend 100% , guide to the top from start to finish despite my low level of English as French they are really understanding and professional. Unfortunately no turtles and dolphins are wild animals but very nice experience

Atlantis Kayaking Tenerife - I went on this kayaking trip with my girlfriend, it was amazing. We got picked up from the hotel and dropped at the door, upon arrival were met by the team who signed us in and gave us the life jackets. We then got assigned a double kayak as a pair, pulling it a short distance with the group of maybe 10 others. A short introduction and then straight into the sea! The kayaking was at a good pace for average people, nothing too strenuous however good general fitness is definitely needed. We saw many turtles right up close, dolphins 5-10 meters away and then went snorkelling. This was great as there were loads of fish right below us. No turtles unfortunately. The kayaking was about 2 hours in total, snorkelling about 30 mins and then 30 mins setting up and finishing. The guide was so chill and the whole experience was great. I would definitely recommend for families, couples or even solo travellers! I would prefer to not be charged for photos at the end but all the places do that in Tenerife. P.S. we paid €4 each for the transfer however the driver was stuck to take us back. The team gave us cash to get a cab back to the hotel, really good of them!

Good experience, hard work! - It was a good experience, something different. We went kayaking in a small group into the ocean. It was hard work, getting back in the kayak after the snorkelling was definitely the hardest part by far but we did have a laugh. As for animals, se only saw the head of a sea turtle then fish when we went snorkelling. The previous group had saw dolphins, so it was a bit disappointing but still something we would do again. Our guide Victoria was great and helpful!

It was worth it - The pick up in front of the hotel was punctual and good. Before we left with the canoes, we got a brief briefing in English, which was also easy to understand without much knowledge of English. The guide Matthias was always there and kept the group (12 - 14 people ) well together and gave great instructions. We were lucky and saw several dolphins and turtles. On the way back it got a bit exhausting, but the pace was moderate. We would do the tour again

A fine afternoon on the Atlantic - We had a good time on the Atlantic. The team, equipment, preparation and support receive 5 stars. Then why is the experience 4 stars: simply far too many suppliers and thus kayaks on the water. The Atlantic Ocean or the small part where kayaking is offered can also be too small. In addition to the kayaks then also various motorboats (and not of the small variety) and the combination is just not ideal.

Not supportive - We love animals and were really looking forward to this! We haven’t been kayaking before and was given a very short introduction. After this, the instructor sped ahead and we were left to struggle to him. Found him very rude and continued to clap at us or wave to hurry us up despite him knowing we hadn’t done this before. Maybe he could’ve give us a little guidance, or some tips to improve our technique? We saw dolphins. This was really magical. We enjoyed the snorkelling. No turtles and no mention or guidance from instructor again. When the trip finished he moaned about us “not paddling when needing to” despite us trying really hard! There were 2 able and 2 weaker kayaks on our tour. The 2 able would speed ahead with instructor and have a break then when we got there we were expected to continue without a breather. Felt like the instructor didn’t care for our experience. We could’ve enjoyed this much more if it was more leisurely and at our pace. Does the trip have to be as long? Maybe a shorter distance would allow more enjoyment?
