Do I need to be an experienced swimmer or kayaker?

No. This activity is designed for all fitness and skill levels. The kayaks are stable and safe, and snorkeling gear and flotation aids are available if needed. Your guide will provide full instruction.

Will I definitely see turtles and dolphins?

While sea turtles and dolphins are frequently spotted in this area, sightings are never guaranteed as they are wild animals. The Palmar wall and caves are rich marine habitats where encounters are common, especially in early morning sessions.

What's included in the EUR 45 price?

The price includes the 2-hour guided tour, kayak, all snorkeling equipment (mask, fins, snorkel), and a safety briefing. Personal items like wetsuits or waterproof cameras are not included.

How long is the tour and when do we meet?

The total experience is 2 hours on the water. You'll meet at Los Cristianos harbour 15 minutes before departure. Early morning slots are available for optimal conditions.

What if the weather is bad?

Tours operate in calm to moderate sea conditions. If weather is unsafe, your tour will be rescheduled to another date at no extra charge. Check with your operator the evening before for confirmation.

Bring sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses), a quick-dry towel, and a waterproof bag for valuables. Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet, and consider a wetsuit for extra warmth in cooler months (Nov–Mar).
