Fun and Memorable Trip - Had a great kayaking trip! The pace was quite fast, which made it tricky to really search for wildlife while keeping up, but it was still an exciting experience. Our guide, Marta, was fantastic – really helpful and gave clear explanations along the way. The snorkeling spot was busy and choppy, with lots of other kayakers and divers, and while we didn’t see turtles or dolphins this time (which we knew wasn’t guaranteed), it was still a fun and memorable outing. Excellent communication with Atlantis.

Very nice experience - I recommend 100% , guide to the top from start to finish despite my low EN level as French they are really understanding and professional. Unfortunately no turtles and dolphins are wild animals but very nice experience

Atlantis Kayaking Tenerife - I went on this kayaking trip with my girlfriend, it was amazing. We got picked up from the hotel and dropped at the door, upon arrival were met by the team who signed us in and gave us the life jackets. We then got assigned a double kayak as a pair, pulling it a short distance with the group of maybe 10 others. A short introduction and then straight into the sea! The kayaking was at a good pace for average people, nothing too strenuous however good general fitness is definitely needed. We saw many turtles right up close, dolphins 5-10 meters away and then went snorkelling. This was great as there were loads of fish right below us. No turtles unfortunately. The kayaking was about 2 hours in total, snorkelling about 30 mins and then 30 mins setting up and finishing. The guide was so chill and the whole experience was great. I would definitely recommend for families, couples or even solo travellers! I would prefer to not be charged for photos at the end but all the places do that in Tenerife. P.S. we paid €4 each for the transfer however the driver was stuck to take us back. The team gave us cash to get a cab back to the hotel, really good of them!

A morning filled with fun - Awesome and friendly crew. Free lockerroom available to store goods and a toilet. You get a short but straightforward briefing about safety measures and the technical side of how to kayak works. You follow the guide on your own pace to the cliffs where you can snorkel a bit (totally worth since you’ll be seeing bog fish and if lucky some turtles).

Great scenery, and great guide Rasta! - We had an amazing time on the kayaking trip with our guide, Rasta! He was full of energy, super informative, and brought great vibes throughout the whole experience. My family and I really appreciated the relaxed pace and loved learning more about Tenerife from him. As a foodie, I especially appreciated the fantastic local food recommendations he shared — a great bonus! The kayaking itself was manageable, with calm waters, making it enjoyable for everyone. We were lucky enough to see plenty of dolphins and sea turtles — truly a magical experience. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting!

A fine afternoon on the Atlantic - We had a good time on the Atlantic. The team, equipment, preparation and support receive 5 stars. Then why is the experience 4 stars: simply far too many suppliers and thus kayaks on the water. The Atlantic Ocean or the small part where kayaking is offered can also be too small. In addition to the kayaks then also various motorboats (and not of the small variety) and the combination is just not ideal.

Hard work but fun - My tour guide was great would be 5/5 but the snorkelling wasn’t great because it was very rough where we went so we didn’t do it for very long

Not supportive - We love animals and were really looking forward to this! We haven’t been kayaking before and was given a very short introduction. After this, the instructor sped ahead and we were left to struggle to him. Found him very rude and continued to clap at us or wave to hurry us up despite him knowing we hadn’t done this before. Maybe he could’ve give us a little guidance, or some tips to improve our technique? We saw dolphins. This was really magical. We enjoyed the snorkelling. No turtles and no mention or guidance from instructor again. When the trip finished he moaned about us “not paddling when needing to” despite us trying really hard! There were 2 able and 2 weaker kayaks on our tour. The 2 able would speed ahead with instructor and have a break then when we got there we were expected to continue without a breather. Felt like the instructor didn’t care for our experience. We could’ve enjoyed this much more if it was more leisurely and at our pace. Does the trip have to be as long? Maybe a shorter distance would allow more enjoyment?
