Highlights
  • Av. Juan Alfonso Batista, 25 - This is a fantastic experience to do kayaking in the ocean and see marine animals in their natural habitat. Turtles, dolphins and a lot of fun are expecting you!

We start the kayaking trip from the beach of Los Cristianos, and head to the PalmMar rocks, with their impressive caves and caverns. We go to a special place where sea turtles live, and do snorkeling to observe these lovely animals. PalmMar waters are also home to many other species of fish and marine animals, so what you see from the surface here will amaze you and leave great memories. Snorkeling with turtles lasts 30 minutes and is guided by an instructor. Then we do more canoeing in PalmMar to enjoy picturesque views of the area. Many times when we are lucky, we meet dolphins on our way and observe these playful gorgeous animals jumping around.
The kayak trip lasts 2 hours and is accompanied by a professional guide. The minimum age is 6 years old. It´s a perfect opportunity to spend time with your whole family and friends, do some sports, get tanned, discover wild cliffs and inhabitants of the ocean. Our friendly instructors will welcome you warmly and show you the best of kayaking in the ocean.

Fantastic, knowledgable and eco friendly tour with lots of wildlife - Amazing company highly recommend. Great communication before trip, emailed a question and had a reply in about 10 mins. We (family of 4, children age 7 and 10) had a fantastic kayak and snorkeling trip today with David. Organised, with a video briefing and summary of key points on arrival. David was brilliant, lots of interesting facts and great knowledge of the area. We saw Dolphins Turtles and flying fish. They also pick up any rubbish they see whilst out kayaking. Highly recommend this trip and will definitely use again.

Great kayaking trip - Had a great afternoon and really good experience on the kayak trip. We weren't fortunate enough to see dolphins but saw some amazing fish during the snorkeling session. Big shout out to the guides, Davide & Jorge who were very supportive and helped make the trip.

Awesome - It was a wonderful experience which I recommend and will do again, this time of year as the water was cooler we were not so lucky to see the turtles but we did see lots of interesting fish and it was amazing to see bottom of the rocky ocean, my neice and I had a lovely day, As I am of a mature age I don't think I will snorkel again next year but I will definitely kayak and wait in the boat while my neice dives in. Looking forward to seeing all the photos. Also must mention the brilliant staff who looked after us 😄

Kayaking and Snorkeling - Top day David and Rasta A plus guides. Patient and professional from start to finish. Weather could of been better and we was given the option to change the day, which shows the guides knew there stuff and wanted to give value for money. 100% recommend

Fun - Rasta is a good guide. Nature is what it is and we didn't see everything we wanted, even so the tour was fun thanks to Rasta.

Extremely disappointed - When reading the description we thought that we were booking kayaking to go and see turtles, when in reality, we may as well not have bothered. During the briefing our guide, David, gave us the safety instructions and told us all to stick together to make it easier for them to help us in the event of emergency. He had a colleague with him as a second hand who I assumed would stay at the back of the group whilst David stayed at the front. In reality, as soon as David saw the pace of the quickest kayakers, he stuck with them. There were 2 occasions where we were left some 300 metres away from the rest of the group, and the second guide had joined the others at the front of the pack. Given the choppy conditions, if our kayak had flipped, there is no way that they would have been able to make it back to us quickly which was incredibly dangerous. In addition, we both had to paddle harder to try and keep up with them, so by the time we actually caught up to the group, I was feeling incredibly sick and unenergised. We told David that he needed to slow down and that I was feeling sick, and he eventually slowed the pace a little. The snorkelling goggles which we were given were shocking - they kept filling with water and fogging up, so neither of us could actually do the snorkelling properly either. Not that there were any turtles to actually see! On the way back I was so exhausted that I actually vomited, which should not have happened we weren’t sticking to a pace of experienced and professional kayakers. Another couple afterwards said exactly the same as us, that as beginners, this experience was not at all enjoyable for them. So, in summary, if you’re a beginner or not an experienced kayaker, do not bother. You will be dangerously left on your own in choppy conditions. This experience was a complete waste of money, I would not recommend it and I will definitely be looking at alternatives next time.

Negligent and inappropriate for families - We are a family of 5 with 3 children (12, 10, 6). Pretty fit (kids are gymnasts and footballers). I paid for photos ( which weren't even mentioned afterwards) without snorkeling. I added notes about our children's ages and that our youngest wasn't a strong swimmer. We took two kayaks (me and my 12 year old daughter in one and my husband and 10 and 6 year old sons in another. The tour guides raced ahead of us at all times. I'm a cancer patient and despite enormous determination I struggled to stay with the small group. The sea was choppy, which obviously isn't the fault of the tour operators but they assured us it would be an easy time. We set off with no idea how far we would be kayaking, but assuming it would be appropriate for children of our kids' ages. We travelled to the set marker and we were clearly struggling so my husband and two boys wanted to go back to shore, but the instructor said it was "just around the corner" and urged us to continue. When my husband and kids were clearly struggling on the return journey, I asked the instructor if they were okay. I was torn between staying with them or keeping with the instructor in order to alert him to the danger they were in. We kayaked against treacherous currents for 2.5 km and another 2.5 km back. My daughter (a national gymnast) was too tired to continue at approximately 4km. I, a cancer patient, had to tell her to rest while I took over ( I also have lymphoedema in my left arm). We regularly indicated that we were struggling but we were consistently shrugged off. We're very upset and shook by the whole experience. Our youngest cried all the way home. I'm really not one to complain but today's experience was negligent at best. I don't leave bad reviews regularly. But in this case it might save a life.
