    About this experience

    In this guided tour, our monitors with more than 30 years of experience in water and underwater activities as well as biologist and geologist explain to the client the orography of Tenerife both in the outer part near the coast and in the submerged part that they can see with their own eyes. Pictures and videos will be taken during the whole excursion and at the end of the activity they will be given as a present to each of the participants. And this excursion is also special because the visitor to the island will be able to see how the island was formed both on the outside and inside as a result of the volcanic activity.

    Beautiful trip, fantastic location. From the marina of Las Galletas

    Really enjoyed this trip was just what I needed. Away from the tourist trap of Los Christianos and around from the south point to the lava formations near Costa Silencio. Paco was an excellent host. Clear, helpful, lots of good information. Looking forward to doing this trip again with my family.

    A very personalised guide

    A very personal and detailed description of the island and its aquatic flora and fauna by the guide. He is an absolutely charming person who shows you on how to enjoy the entire snorkeling event while bringing and or showing the aquatic animals around and taking videos and photos of the excursion on his go pro which he shares after the event. An absolute must if you want to know more about the island and have a fun experience even if you've never done snorkeling before.

    Fun experience

    The experience was very positive. The escorts are nice, helpful, but above all very professional. The explanations are clear and the descriptions detailed. We recommend this activity, but in general we recommend turning to them for any snorkelling and similar activities.

    Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.

    How much does Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.

    Is Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boat Excursion to visit underwater lava tongues start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tenerife?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tenerife?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tenerife?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
