Kayak Los Cristianos - El Palmar
Los Cristianos
The kayaking activity between Los Cristianos and El Palmar combines adventure, nature, and clear water in southern Tenerife. Departing from Los Cristianos beach, you paddle west past the cliffs of the Guaza Marine Reserve, a protected, rugged landscape where volcanic rocks rise above the sea, creating spaces for sea caves and coastal formations that offer breathtaking views.
Along the route, guides offer snorkeling stops in areas rich in marine life: schools of fish, rocky bottoms, marine flora, and, with a bit of luck, sea turtle sightings. You also skirt Palm-Mar, a coastal stretch with accessible caves where the light shines dramatically, ideal for those who enjoy underwater photography.
What sets this kayaking route apart from others is that it balances comfort with excitement: no previous experience is required, all equipment includes a life jacket, mask, and snorkel, and the guides are experts in coastal navigation. The protected environment, both the sea and the wildlife, is highly respected, adding an extra layer of environmental responsibility to the experience.
The tour usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours depending on the company, with a paddling section interspersed with short snorkeling dives. It has a recreational aspect (enjoying, taking photos, and swimming) rather than a sporting one, perfect for families, groups of friends, or couples.
Ultimately, paddling between Los Cristianos and El Palmar is one of those activities that leaves you with memories of a clean sea, beautiful coastal landscapes, peaceful moments in the kayak, and unexpected encounters with fish or turtles. It's an excellent way to connect with the south coast of Tenerife from a different perspective.

What to see
