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.

Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
Tunolandia Canarias
This is a distinctive plan on the island of Tenerife across all the playa and hotels, Tunolandia is one of these curiosities that are so popular. In the Valle de San Lorenzo, this space consists of a variety of tuneras, gastronomy, tradition and products based on high pico. Aquí puedes pasear entre cactus gigantes, probar mermeladas, licores o mojo de tuno y descubrir una cara mucho más rural y diferente del sur de la isla.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
Bahia Beach
Bahía Beach Restaurant is one of those places where the real star isn't the food, but the oceanfront ambiance. Located in Palm-Mar, literally right on the ocean, it functions more like a relaxed beach lounge where you come to enjoy a cocktail, listen to music, and watch the sunset with the sound of the waves in the background. The Balinese beds, live music, and terrace overlooking the sea make it easy to end up staying for hours without even realizing it.
Shopping

Plus, it's in a very central location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña de Chayofita
The Chayofita Mountain Trail in Los Cristianos is a simple, short route that offers one of the best panoramic views of southern Tenerife.

It's ideal for a sunset walk, enjoying the tranquility and the cityscape from above.
