What To Expect

Your adventure starts at our kayak center located in Los Cristianos, south of Tenerife. Here our guests can calmly change the outfit if needed and leave all the personal belongings safely inside the office. Every participant receives a paddle, a life jacket, and a snorkeling mask with a tube. Toilet facilities are available.

After the preparations, we will come to the beach together, a 5min walk. The kayaks will be prepared for you. Your tour guide will provide a short safety briefing, making sure everybody is confident and all the questions are addressed.

After the safety briefing, we jump into the kayaks and start paddling together. During our tour, we explore the stunning volcanic cliffs, pass near the fish farms, where marine life such as dolphins and turtles can be spotted.

Later, we anchor in a shallow bay and jump into the crystal clear waters for a refreshing snorkeling session. Observing numerous tropical fish species, including parrot fish, trumpet fish, green fish, damsel fish, schools of baracudas, and many more!

After the swim, we jump back on the kayaks and start making our way back to the beach of Los Cristianos, enjoying the spectacular nature along the way.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
