Get up close to dolphins and turtles in their natural environment in a kayaking excursion adventure in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, that respects their habitat.

Get up close to dolphins and turtles in their natural environment in a kayaking and snorkeling excursion adventure in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, that respects their habitat.

Climb aboard for a kayaking adventure in Tenerife and get up close and personal with dolphins and turtles in their natural environment. Observe the amazing creatures from a vessel that does not frighten them or disturb their natural habitat.

Experience the extraordinary sensation of being surrounded by pods of up to 30 dolphins that sometimes put on a show by jumping high into the air! Home to up to 5 different species of dolphins, including bottlenose dolphins, the waters just off the coast of the island are the perfect spot to marvel at these lovable creatures.

While the bottlenose dolphins are the easiest to spot, other species inhabit the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, including rough-toothed dolphins, striped dolphins and common dolphins. As wild animals, views cannot be guaranteed, but there is a 95% chance that you will encounter the animals on your trip.

Get an optional swimming break and snorkel with turtles and bull rays in a bay only accessible by kayak as a bonus. Usually, within a few minutes, curious turtles arrive and get very close, swimming around and in between you. Also the bull rays regularly glide elegantly along the sea bed underneath you.

We saw the turtles, it was a bit exhausting, but well worth it. The coach is patient and professional.

Overall it was fun, great for exercise, the turtles are beautiful. Sadly we didn't have time to see dolphins, because some people in our group were too slow :(
