Malpaís de Rasca Boat Trip & Snorkelling

At 11 am sharp, we'll board a zodiac-type boat from the Port of Las Galletas and set off on a trip around South Tenerife to explore Malpaís de Rasca.

We'll embark on a boat trip through Malpaís de Rasca, a protected nature reserve featuring volcanic landscapes and diverse marine fauna.

During the sail, we'll observe the volcanic cones, including Montaña Grande, discussing the formation of these features, the local ecosystem, and the story of a shipwreck near the Punta de Rasca Lighthouse. There is a chance to spot dolphins.

Next, we will explore Malpaís de Rasca's underwater beauty. We will anchor in a cove, where you can put on a wetsuit, snorkel, and goggles to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

You will spend 1 hour snorkelling in one of Tenerife's most biodiverse marine areas, observing species such as Mediterranean parrotfish, wrasse, seabream and more, alongside various marine life including sea urchins, starfish, crabs, and octopi.

Afterwards, we'll return to the boat and conclude the activity at 1 pm back at the starting point.
