Top Tenerife Dolphin Watching - page 3

Amazing Kayak & Snorkel Adventure with Dolphins and Turtles! We took the Tenerife Turtle & Dolphin Kayak Tour on May 16th at 10:30 AM, and it was a awesome 3-hour experience! During the kayak portion, we got to see dolphins, a fish farm, sea turtles, and beautiful coastal views. Since this is the open ocean, the water is a bit cold, but the tour provides you with a wetsuit and life vest. Make sure to wear clothing that allows you to paddle comfortably. For the snorkeling part, we saw different types of fish swimming at depths of 6 to 15 meters around stunning rock formations and open water. If you choose to snorkel, you need to be prepared to safely exit and re-enter your kayak in deep open water. Our guide gave us excellent instructions on how to do this safely. However, if you prefer not to snorkel, you can easily stay in the kayak and just enjoy the water and the beautiful surroundings. As an added bonus, they take photos during the tour that are available afterward. It is a fantastic way to get high-quality shots of the experience without worrying about risking your own camera in the water! Finding the meeting location can be a bit tricky. Our taxi driver had problems finding the place because he wasn't familiar with the area and gave excuses, which made communication challenging. To help future travelers: look for Edificio Cristianmar. It is a white building with rounded balconies right by the sea at the end of the street. The office, Xplore Tenerife, is located on the ground floor. The staff here are absolutely awesome and make the whole experience highly enjoyable. Note: They also offer mountain bike excursions at this location! I wish I had known that beforehand, as I definitely would have booked that tour with them too

Lovely boat trip with an even more lovely crew! Sailing from Los Gigantes is a treat in itself and easy to get to. The boat was clean and spacious with a maximum of 10 passengers, which allows for a more tailored experience. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable and the lunch provided was simple but very tasty. I had a great time and would highly recommend this trip to others.

What an amazing trip! Our hosts were knowledgeable and provided excellent information on what we would see. Being a much smaller boat with so few participants we were able to get close to the sealift without it invasive. Within 35 minutes we had seen a loggerhead turtle, dolphins and pilot whales. Later in the trip we found that we were surrounded by the pilot whales on every side which was unreal. The addition on the sound of the whales from under the water was incredible. Access to the days photos and videos taken by our hosts during the trip is just the icing on the cake. If you have the chance to go on this trip you should absolutely take it!
