KAYAKING
Welome to breathingwaters' Kayaking Adventures in Tenerife!
Discover the beauty of kayaking in the clear, azure water of Tenerife, a volcanic island rich in stunning landscapes and vibrant marine life. The very small, personal group excursions (max. 6 people) start in the authentic village of Alcalá, offering you an intimate and sustainable way to connect with nature.
Kayaking is more than a sport - it's a journey into tranquility and wonder. Paddling through serene waters, surrounded by dramatic volcanic coastlines, you'll experience the ocean's beauty and the raw power of Mother Earth. With no motors or fancy equipment you will feel the rhythm of the sea and the pulse of the island.
With the right conditions you get a chance to snorkel, diving into the crystal-clear waters to explore the underwater world teeming with life.
The lucky ones might spot a sea turtle surfacing to breathe or witness flying fish up close.
The adventurous ones may climb onto the rocks or paddle into flooded caverns.
The exact route depends on the meteorological conditions.
Good to know: We use single-kayaks because they are easier to handle and especially because they are much more fun! Max. weight 110kg. Double kayak available after request.
Join this kayaking adventure that's good for the soul and gentle on the planet. Explore, connect, and be inspired by the natural splendor of Tenerife.

We go slowly, enjoying the quietness of the late afternoon and after a little paddle we settle at a nice spot to enjoy the views and the last sun rays.
The sunset on this side of the island is spectacular: The landscape is changing colours, the calm water is reflecting the lights and we can see the island of La Gomera (many times also La Palma) joining the view as the sun melts into the horizon. Add to this the swinging feeling in our kayaks, a glass of wine in our hands, and no other distraction than the water whispering - WOW!
