Tenerife Snorkelling & Sea Turtle Watching

On our Tenerife Snorkelling & Sea Turtle Watching activity, we'll explore the diverse marine ecosystem around the island and observe sea turtles.

Description

At 9 am, we'll meet at the Port of Las Galletas and board a Zodiac-type boat. The boat will take us to an area for snorkelling and observing sea turtles. We'll pass by the Malpais de Rasca, a protected nature reserve with a volcanic landscape. After an expert instructor provides tips on snorkelling, we can put on our snorkelling gear and enter the Atlantic Ocean.

Be on the lookout for loggerhead and green turtles swimming peacefully in the water. These animals can grow to over 3 feet long (1 metre). We'll also see shoals of white seabream, bogas, and other fish species around Tenerife's seabed.

We'll return to the starting point by around 11 am.

Sea Turtle Watching

The coast of Tenerife is ideal for spotting sea turtles. However, while there is a high probability of sightings, it is not guaranteed as these animals are wild. The activity will be conducted in a way that respects the animals, with small groups and consideration for the marine environment.
