To kayak in Tenerife is one of the favourite experiences of those travellers who come to the island to enjoy their holidays and live new and exciting adventures. Surrounded by the sea and with favourable weather conditions throughout the year, it is the perfect setting for lovers of this aquatic sport.
Row! Then you’ll get to places you can’t see from the ground. You will discover volcanic caves, crystal clear waters and breathtaking landscapes. All of it while you’re doing sports. If you would like a bath, Into the water! nothing prevents you. If you are lucky you will enjoy the dolphins accompanying you during the whole journey.
We know that a kayak is not an easy sports material to transport from home. Don’t worry. There are many local companies that rent equipment or organise group excursions with very didactic and fun itineraries and explanations. Do not doubt in contacting them to obtain all the material that better adapts to your measures and characteristics or to contract a guided excursion.
Now that you have it all, how about you accompany us in this post and we review together with the best places to kayak in Tenerife?
LOS GIGANTES
LOS GIGANTESis the kayak route par excellence on the island of Tenerife. This fascinating scenery enjoys a spectacular landscape with vertical walls 600 meters high and seabed ideal for a snorkelling session to be surprised by the great diversity of marine fauna and flora in the area. It usually starts at Puerto de Los Gigantes and continues towards the cliffs to enjoy this beautiful sport.
LAS TERESITAS
LAS TERESITASis one of the usual routes for the practitioners of this sport and an ideal area for beginners for its very shallow waters protected by the breakwater and with a sandy bottom. For the more experienced it serves as a starting point for crossings to other beaches such as Las Gaviotas, Igueste de San Andrés or Antequera. Take the camera with you because this part of the coast hides unique corners.
LOS CRISTIANOS
LOS CRISTIANOSThis is one of the most frequented routes in the south of Tenerife and is located very close to our hotel. Leaving from Los Tarajales Beach we head towards the open sea where we can contemplate Los Cristianos Bay from a different perspective. It’s very frequent that after 30 minutes rowing, surprise, you are surrounded by dolphins! After this experience, we head to the bay to snorkel and swim with turtles of different sizes.
EL PALM-MAR
EL PALM-MARlocated between Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. It’s ideal for a kayak trip enjoying the breathtaking views, sandy beaches and the cliff that separates the Palm-Mar from Los Cristianos. This area is characterized by large and steep cliffs in which we can see many caves created by the force of the sea.
These and other routes give you the chance to see the coast of the island by kayak all year round. It is the ideal sport to visit unusual places. Whether you do it alone, in a couple, with family or with a group of friends, you’ll have a great time.
