Tenerife Snorkeling Tours

The Best Snorkeling Tours and Locations

One of the most rewarding and accessible activities for everyone is Tenerife snorkeling. Dive into crystal-clear waters and discover the surprising marine life that inhabits the island’s volcanic coast, especially the famous turtles and rays.

Snorkeling Tour with Turtles and Rays

The most popular and exciting snorkeling experience in Tenerife:

• Swim with turtles: we take you to a bay in the south of the island (Palm-Mar area) known for being home to a colony of green turtles.
• Ray sightings: in the same area, it is very common to see elegant stingrays gliding over the sandy bottom.
• Respect for wildlife: our guides will teach you how to interact respectfully with the animals, without touching or disturbing them.
• Boat access: the tour is conducted by a Zodiac-type boat, allowing direct access to the best viewing area.

Guided Snorkeling Safari

Explore the coast with an expert:

• A professional guide (usually a diving instructor) accompanies you at all times, ensuring your safety and pointing out marine life.
• You don’t have to worry about gear; we provide everything you need: wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins.
• Discover coves and dive spots that only locals know.

Do I Need Experience to Snorkel?

No, it’s a perfect activity for beginners:

• If you can swim, you can snorkel. It’s an easy and relaxing activity.
• The provided wetsuit aids buoyancy, making you less tired.
• It’s an ideal activity for families with children and people of all ages.

Other Good Spots for Snorkeling on Your Own

If you have your own equipment, you can explore these easily accessible coastal areas:

• Abades: a small village with a very calm bay full of life, great for starting out.
• Alcalá: its natural pools and small coves are often visited by turtles.
