Kayaking TenerifeDeparts Los Cristianos

Kayaking in Tenerife with a snorkel stop off Palm Mar

A kayaking tour in Tenerife mixes easy paddling on calm water with a snorkel stop, and it runs every day from Los Cristianos on the south coast. You spend about 1.5 hours kayaking and then around 30 minutes snorkelling near Palm Mar, a stretch known for its marine life. There is also a chance to see dolphins from the kayak. No experience is needed, and the guides cover the basics before you set off.

What the tour is like

You launch from Los Cristianos and paddle along the coast with a guide. After the kayaking section, you stop to snorkel in the clear water off Palm Mar, a spot known for its marine life. The whole trip lasts about 2 hours. You can kayak on your own, in a pair, or in a group of three, and the price stays the same.

What is included

Each tour is led by experienced instructors and includes a life jacket, snorkel set and a safety briefing. There are lockers to store your belongings while you are on the water. An optional shuttle is available for a small extra charge; if you add it, you choose your pick-up point during booking. Photos are not provided, but you are welcome to bring a camera or phone at your own risk.

Who can take part

The activity suits anyone reasonably fit and comfortable in water. The minimum age is 6, and children aged 6 to 11 must be accompanied by an adult. You should be able to swim, since the tour includes a snorkelling session. It is not advised during pregnancy beyond 5 months.

Booking and cancellation

Guides on the tour speak English and Spanish. Spots fill up, so booking ahead is sensible, and confirmation is instant. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your kayaking in Tenerife tour for a full refund.
