🛶🐬🔭🐢🐢🐢🌊🥽🐟🛶🐢🐢 - Very good experience with David as a guide! We saw about five turtles, some DE them from close range. Dolphins were also seen in the distance. Just kayaking and snorkeling by a big cliff makes it worth it 😸

Xplore Tenerife - William - Such a fun experience! Kayaking in the ocean is HARD, but William was so patient, kind and so invested in this experience for our honeymoon! He was phenomenal and someone I’d ask for over and over again!

A pleasant experience - Very friendly host, who takes photos/videos during the activity. Enjoyable experience, even if the many DE kayak groups make it difficult to see dolphins and turtles. We went there EN the early afternoon, it might not have been the best time.

Good. - The experience has been good, we have seen some NO dolphins although the NO srkel had not much to do .. there is not too much maritime life where we stop to snorkel. Kayak EN specifically for you to search for dolphins

Great staff - Very kind staff who were well informed, went with my son and its a lot of work involved when you go out passed the swimming area, we decided not to go the full 8km. I would recommend this but only if you know what you're doing.

No dolhins one turtle and two hours of tiring kayaking! - 2 hours of tiring kayaking to be dropped in the water with no turtles or dolphins. The masks we foggy and no de fogger was offerred. Did not see any dolphons and one turtle from the kayak. Unless you really like kayaking dont do this trip. I went for the snorkeling and snorkeling was rubbish. Next time I book a motor boat snorkeling tourtI

Disappointing and isolating experience – would not recommend - We booked the kayaking and snorkelling with turtles and dolphins tour and had a really disappointing experience from start to finish. We were the only English speakers in a very large group, and the instructor spoke almost entirely in French, laughing and chatting with everyone else while barely speaking to us. When he did, it was only a few short sentences and we felt completely left out. We were told we would “try kayaking for a bit” and could turn back if needed, but that never happened. The instructor didn’t check if we were okay at any point, despite us clearly struggling to keep the kayak straight and falling far behind the group. We were given no tips, no help, and no chance to take a break. We were also told we couldn’t go back alone because we were too far out at sea. The water was extremely choppy, we both felt very sick, and we decided not to snorkel — but the instructor never even asked if we were okay or why we weren’t getting in the water. He just carried on talking with the rest of the group. Eventually, we asked to join another group that was leaving and went back with them instead. We saw no turtles, no dolphins, and left feeling awful, seasick, and completely isolated. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for.
