    Amazing

    Such an experience we got to see turtles, dolphins and a shark! The guide was very attentive and made the trip very enjoyable. We enjoyed a swim stop to see all the fish and had plenty of opportunities for photos taken by the guide. I will say they mean it when they say you need a level of fitness as it was quite windy the day we went and required some strength to get back! Overall such a great day, Thankyou!

    Kayak and snorkling

    Saw red turtles, dolphins and a hammerhead shark. We went to a cove that had lots of red crabs hanging onto the walls. Snorkled around the coves and saw lots of sea life through clear water. Brilliant experience.

    Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 458 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife?

    +

    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 Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife?

    +

    Around 160 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife 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, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. 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.

    What is included in Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife?

    +

    Included: Instructions; Juice; Use of snorkeling equipment; Fruit and cereal bar; and Insurance. Not included: Hotel pickup; Photos; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife?

    +

    We are below the Reveron Plaza Hotel in Los Cristianos, the loading and unloading street that leads to the beach; diagonally to the Oro di Napoli pizzaria. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Kayak & Snorkel Safari: Look for Dolphins & Turtles in Tenerife wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
