Kayaking at Los Gigantes
Los Gigantes2-3 hours
Guided paddle under walls up to 600 mAbout 2-hour tour with snorkeling stopDeparture from the marina of Los Gigantes

This guided kayak tour runs along the base of the Los Gigantes cliffs, a vertical wall of volcanic rock that rises up to about 600 meters above the sea, on the west coast of Tenerife. The departure is from the marina of Los Gigantes and the experience lasts approximately two hours, paddling alongside the walls while a guide explains the surroundings. It usually includes a brief stop for snorkeling and observing the seabed, which at the base of the cliffs reaches about 30 meters deep.

The kayaks are stable and suitable for beginners, with no prior experience necessary, and the group is accompanied by a support boat throughout the tour. The area is part of the Teno Rural Park environment and is also common for spotting marine wildlife.
