4.Kayak and Snorkel with Turtles and Photos

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,181 reviews · from $34

Paddle from Los Cristianos with guides such as Gabriel, Caroline, Liam, and Karolien. You’ll visit black volcanic cliffs and a sea cave, snorkel among fish and possible turtles, search for dolphins, and receive free photos and videos. Expect a 6 to 7 km ocean workout in a double kayak.

“The kayaking, snorkeling, and turtle watching tour left me with a lot of positive impressions! Although we unfortunately didn’t see any turtles, the kayaking and snorkeling were absolutely fantastic. It was definitely a physical challenge – paddling for 2.5 to 3 hours in the ocean is not easy, but it was totally worth it. The experience of active adventure, the beauty of the ocean, and the burst of emotions will be remembered for a long time!”
