Join us on our turtle and dolphin watching kayak tour from Los Cristianos with snorkeling! This adventure begins as you set off from the vibrant Playa de Los Cristianos, where the shimmering Atlantic Ocean awaits. As you glide across the serene waters, keep your eyes peeled for the playful antics of dolphins, often seen leaping high into the sky in groups of up to 30. With our eco-certified kayaks, you will experience these magnificent creatures up close while respecting their natural habitat. The waters here are home to five species of dolphins, including the well-known bottlenose dolphin, offering an incredible opportunity to witness their graceful movements.
Continuing your journey, you will paddle towards the intriguing Cueva de los Enamorados, a spot filled with local legends and natural beauty. The tour offers a unique chance to see various species of turtles, such as the green turtle and occasionally the loggerhead turtle, as they glide through the water alongside your kayak. Our kayaks are specially designed to minimize disturbance, allowing you a peaceful encounter with these gentle marine animals. Remember, while sightings are not guaranteed, there is a 90% chance of spotting these fascinating creatures.
Finally, the tour includes a secret stop for a refreshing swim and snorkeling at a secluded bay accessible only by boat. Here, you can dive into the clear waters for a closer look at the colourful marine life, and you might spot turtles or bull rays moving gracefully below. This tour is perfect for nature enthusiasts and adventurers aged 14 and above, promising an unforgettable experience in the waters of Tenerife.
