    Amazing experience!

    Absolutely amazing experience. Unfortunately we didn’t see any turtles but plenty of fish to see in their natural habitat 🐠, we even got to see a school of fish just near the boat which was super cool! We were snorkelling virgins so got a full explanation of what to do/not to do from the instructor prior to departing on the boat. Lots of advice given pre snorkel to avoid sea sickness, how to swim with the fins properly, how long the boat ride is, etc. The whole experience start to finish was flawless, really great guides that took us out to the turtle area, friendly, funny and professional. Would definitely recommend doing this to anyone who is interested or wants to do something different. We brought our phones in waterproof pouches for pictures but they didn’t work very well (pics on review) the guide took lots of pictures to email to us the next day though! Would definitely do it again on our next visit to Tenerife 🫶🏻⭐️

    Response from the operator: Thanks, Madison. It was really great to have you guys on board. Glad you enjoyed your experience. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

    null number

    poor equipment, zero support, no suitable conditions for snorkeling. we had booked snorkeling, but were assigned to a diver group. the first 30 min passed with their briefing. because we could not snorkel due to the moving sea with the extremely simple equipment, we then sat on the rocking boat for an ample hour until the divers were back up. 80 euros for gaaar nix.

    Response from the operator: Hallo, es tut mir leid, dass Sie Ihren Ausflug nicht genossen haben, ich habe es wirklich getan. Aber ich möchte Ihnen sagen, dass ZeroGravity ein Tauchzentrum ist und unsere Hauptkunden Taucher sind, wie könnte es anders sein. Die Leute begleiten uns auch nur zum Schnorcheln, und wir fahren alle im selben Boot. In der Zeit, in der Taucher unter Wasser sind, sind diejenigen, die nur schnorcheln, im Meer oder im Wasser und genießen das Schnorcheln. Die Ausrüstung zum Schnorcheln ist sehr einfach, einige Flossen, eine Maske und ein Schnorchel, logischerweise ist die Ausrüstung zum Gerätetauchen komplexer. Was die Seebedingungen betrifft, können wir dort nur stornieren, wenn sie für die Sicherheit nicht ausreichend sind. Es stimmt, dass sie manchmal nicht die besten sind, aber es ist wie alles im Leben, manchmal ist es beeindruckend und andere Gelegenheiten. Nicht sehr viel. Bei diesem Ausflug gab es Leute, die die Bootsfahrt auf dem Meeresgrund genossen, aber nicht jeder genießt es immer. Es tut mir leid

    Disappointing

    Tour name and description is not accurate. You are going snorkelling with first time divers who get all the attention of the guides. You're on your own in the deep sea as the tour guides are diving with other customers while you snorkel. The goggles kept on fogging up, therefore couldn't see much. Waves were quite strong, you have to be a good swimmer. Not worth the money.

    Response from the operator: Hola, una lastima que no le gustara la excursión, nunca puede ser del agrado de todos, por suerte la gran mayoría de nuestros clientes terminan con una gran sonrisa después de nuestras excursiones. Quizá el día en que usted vino el mar no estaba en las mejores condiciones, no siempre todo es perfecto, y lo siento. Recuerdo que intente cambiar el día de su excursión a otro con mejores condiciones, De verdad que siento que no le gustara la experiencia, mas allá del efecto que pueda causar con su opinión....

    Mixed experience, but still enjoyed

    The boat ride out to the snorkelling site was fun, we saw mainly fish but was still very cool experience. The only thing I would say is my partner and I found that between us one of the goggles kept misting up and one of the breathing tubes was faulty, so 50% of our equipment was poor, and there was no alternative equipment on the boat. Additionally, we went out at the same time with 4 people on a diving activity, so both instructors went off with the divers while leaving the snorkellers alone. It might have been nice if they actually gave you some attention and additionally if we got into trouble, they were busy underwater with the divers. So mixed experience, but enjoyed it none the less. The instructors were friendly and spoke good English though.

    Response from the operator: Hello. thanks for your oppinon. we try to do better next time

    Snorkelling safari in a turtle area: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snorkelling safari in a turtle area 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 Snorkelling safari in a turtle area 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 Snorkelling safari in a turtle area worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkelling safari in a turtle area?

    +

    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 Snorkelling safari in a turtle area 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 Snorkelling safari in a turtle area?

    +

    Around 4 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 Snorkelling safari in a turtle area 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.
