Discover Tenerife’s Volcanic Coast from kayak
The small fishing village of Alcalá on Tenerife’s southwest coast offers more than peaceful walks along the promenade. This charming spot is the perfect starting point for one of the island’s most immersive outdoor experiences — a guided kayaking and snorkeling adventure with BreathingWater Tenerife along Tenerife’s volcanic coastline.
A Peaceful Start in the Harbor
BreathingWater Tenerife tour begins in the quiet harbor of Alcalá, where participants receive a clear safety briefing and basic paddling instructions. Unlike the busier tourist hubs, Alcalá has retained its authentic, laid-back atmosphere, creating the perfect setting for a calm and mindful experience. It’s suitable for both beginners and more experienced kayakers.
Along the Volcanic Coastline
Once on the water, participants are surrounded by volcanic cliffs, hidden sea caves, and deep-blue water. The route is adapted to weather conditions and the group’s experience level, making the tour feel natural and personal. Both single and double kayaks are easy to handle, allowing everyone to enjoy the coastline at their own pace.
After kayaking, the experience continues with snorkeling in clear waters teeming with marine life. It’s common to spot colorful fish, sea urchins, stingrays, and even a sea turtle gliding near the surface. The excellent visibility makes this part of the tour ideal even for beginners, offering a peaceful way to explore Tenerife’s marine ecosystems up close.
A Sustainable experience for Everyone
What makes this activity special is its low environmental impact. Small groups, no motorboats, and a strong respect for the ocean help protect the fragile coastal ecosystem. Experiences like BreathingWater Tenerife encourage a more sustainable kind of tourism, one that connects people to nature rather than overwhelming it.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or in a small group, kayaking and snorkeling in Alcalá is an unforgettable way to see Tenerife from a new perspective.
