The kayak tour from Los Gigantes harbour is the south coast's best-kept-value experience: for €35–55 you paddle a stable double kayak along the base of 600-metre cliffs, into coves with no road access, and stop to snorkel in clear water. Groups are small, a guide leads and handles safety, and doubles mean couples can share the paddling. No experience is needed — the route follows the sheltered cliff line. Dolphins and turtles pass through this channel, so keep an eye on the water. We match you with a licensed operator; you pay them at the harbour.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)
Active couples, families with kids from about 6–8 (sharing a double with an adult), and anyone who wants the cliffs without a crowded boat. You need basic fitness for 2 hours of easy paddling — the route is sheltered but it is still the open sea. If you have back problems, the boat version of this coastline is the kinder choice.
Honest tips before you book
- Morning slots have the flattest water and the best cliff light.
- A double kayak for two is standard — solo paddlers can request singles.
- You will get wet to the waist; wear swimwear and bring a towel.
- This channel is dolphin territory — guides often pause when pods pass.
