Kayak en Punta del Hidalgo

Punta del Hidalgo

Kayaking in Punta del Hidalgo is like discovering one of the most authentic and less crowded sides of northern Tenerife. This area, known for its seafaring character and rugged volcanic landscapes, offers a perfect setting for paddling among cliffs, small hidden coves, and rock formations that seem sculpted by time. Unlike the more popular kayaking routes in the south, here you can breathe tranquility, with the Atlantic Ocean revealing itself in all its power and purity.

During the tour, you can approach sea caves, natural formations, and hidden corners only accessible from the sea. The water is usually crystal clear, allowing you to observe schools of fish beneath your kayak and even, with a little luck, spot free-roaming sea turtles. On the surface, the coastal birds flying over the cliffs, such as kestrels and shearwaters, which find their habitat here, provide a spectacular spectacle.

The experience is not only sporty, it's also contemplative: paddling in silence against the contrast of the green of Anaga, the black of the volcanic rock, and the deep blue of the ocean generates a feeling of freedom difficult to find anywhere else. Furthermore, the proximity of the small town of Punta del Hidalgo allows you to complete the day with a stroll along its promenade or tasting fresh fish in one of its family-run establishments.

Visiting places like this reminds us that there are still little-known corners of Tenerife where adventure blends with authenticity. Beyond sport, kayaking here also supports a type of respectful tourism that integrates with nature and the local community, and leaves a much more positive impact on the island.

Nightlife

You'll notice it especially in the honey rum: sweet, smooth, and very easy to drink, perfect after a meal or on the rocks. They also have drier and oaked versions if you prefer something more robust.

Surrounded by greenery and a youthful atmosphere, it offers a course with ramps, jumps, and modules ideal for practicing technique and style.

Trekking

El Tomadero

A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
