Highlights
- Xplore Tenerife Kayaking and Biking - 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. It is mandatory to be able to swim in order to take part in the activity.

Kayaking adventure, hard work but worth it! - Joel took us out today for a kayaking tour, it was an amazing experience and I strongly recommend! We are relatively fit couple in our 30s, but have never kayaked before. Joel was a great instructor and very patient with us as newbies! We did overturn at one point but he helped to keep us calm so we felt safe. We managed to see some dolphins briefly, but it was great just to hear them around. Joel took loads of pics of the excursion and we're looking forward to see them later!

Must do in Tenerife - Our experience was fantastic! We saw beautiful fish snorkeling and saw a sea turtle in the kayaks as well. The view was so beautiful we would have been content seeing no animals :) guides were kind, attentive, and funny! The equipment was also great quality!

Dan! - Lovely relaxed and fun vibe from the moment you walk in. Our instructor was Dan, a born entertainer who made us laugh the whole time. It was a fun experience, but you do need a certain level of fitness to kayak for that length of time, especially after tackling getting g back on the kayak after snorkelling. That said, I'm 56, and I managed it 👍 Great photos included taken by Dan and emailed over to you. Very reasonably priced for 3hrs entertainment. Well worth a visit.

Lovely day in the water with a top notch guide - Cesar was a great guide. It was a beautiful day and we all got a good workout. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the tour operators lack of response to a few emails sent to them. Plus we did have to carry our own kayaks a fair distance to and from their store
