Truly amazing experience. Absolutly recommed this trip.
what an amazing experience, to get so close to the wild life in their natural habbit. Our guide was very friendly, gave clear instructions and demonstrations. The sea can be very unpredictable however we all felt very safe in the sea with our guide. His knowledge and passion for the sea life was truly amazing. We were very lucky we had 3 dolphins swim towards us and went under the kayaks and even more just a short way off. There was a baby shark that swan parell to us. We also saw a turle. When we were snorkling we saw different coloured fish and then checked what they were when we got back. I would totally recommed going with these guys as we felt like we were getting a personal tour.

Great team
The team: great! Those guys are awesome. I didn’t particularly enjoy the views, it is in the industrial area of the beach, not so remote as you would think

Awesome day out!
Bring suncream! We had the best time! Manuel was our guide and loved being part of his'family'. Manuel took our son with him and he said it was the best time. We saw dolphins, turtles and various fish. One lady in the group saw an eel. Manuel was so calming especially as I was nervous about getting in, but he took time out to talk me through the snorkel and get me comfortable whilst in the water. Would definitely recommend this trip but cover up with suncream as the sun was boiling! Photos and videos sent through WhatsApp so we have a lasting memory. Thanks Manuel and Justice for a fabulous memory.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining us! We love hearing that your son had the best time kayaking with Manuel and that he helped you feel comfortable in the water for the snorkel. We’ll pass your lovely words on to him. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the marine life and have photos and videos to remember the day. And yes—suncream is essential in Tenerife! Thank you from Manuel, Justas and the whole team.

Wavy kayaking day
It was small intimate group with very engaging guide who shared some interesting facts about the island, marine life etc. Even though we were not able to see any dolphins or sharks and had just one quick glimpse at turtles, we absolutely enjoyed the experience nevertheless 😁
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining us! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the intimate group, the guiding and learning more about Tenerife and its marine life. Wildlife encounters can never be guaranteed, but we’re glad the experience was enjoyable nonetheless. We hope to see you again on the water!

Incredible team with the best attitude!
Our group was a real challenge — especially for our guide Chris. Honestly, I’d describe us guests as a complete disaster waiting to happen. Some participants’ fitness and paddling skills just weren’t up to the tour - which really should have been doable for anyone… Still, Chris stayed unbelievably upbeat. Even when he had to tow a kayak because the people in it couldn’t paddle on their own anymore, he kept motivating everyone until we all made it back safely. We had a great afternoon — can’t speak for the other participants, but that definitely wasn’t the team’s fault. Anyone booking this tour should honestly ask themselves beforehand whether their fitness level is really enough for a few hours of (relaxed) paddling. Thanks, Chris and team, for your patience and a great afternoon!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful review! We’re delighted that you had a great afternoon and really appreciate your kind words about Chris. He always does his best to keep everyone motivated and safe, even when conditions are challenging. And yes, a few hours of relaxed paddling still requires a reasonable level of fitness! Thank you for joining us and for the great feedback.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna 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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna 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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna?
+
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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna 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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna?
+
Around 19 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 Tenerife: Small-Group Kayak & Snorkel Tour with Marine Fauna 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.

+
