Live a unique experience in the middle of the open ocean with our Punta de Teno Kayak Tour. You'll approach Los Gigantes Cliffs by sea and snorkel in Tenerife's crystal clear waters.
Description
This experience combines sport, tourism and nature all in one. We'll meet at your chosen time at Punta de Teno to start our kayak tour. Before leaving, we'll give you a brief explanation on paddling techniques and basic safety measures to follow.
We'll then get into the kayaks and paddle away from the shore. There'll always be two people in each kayak. If this is your first time in a kayak, don't worry, you'll soon see that they're very easy to handle.
The water's intense blue colour will surprise you, as will its depth! Under the watchful eye of the Punta de Teno Lighthouse, we'll approach the Los Gigantes Cliffs. These cliffs, christened by Tenerife's Guanche people as the 'Walls of Hell', tower at almost 2,000 ft (600 metres).
While paddling, the instructors will tell you about the rich aquatic fauna and flora. We'll then stop in a bay to snorkel so you can see this for yourself. This refreshing dip will help us discover the underwater beauty while we stretch our limbs a bit.
Afterwards, it'll be time to start our return trip to Punta de Teno. Our tour will end after 1 hour and 30 minutes of kayaking.
