\n\n
\n

Do I need previous kayaking experience?<\/h3>\n
\n

None at all. The kayaks are beginner-friendly, two-seaters, and super stable\u2014you sit on top instead of inside. The guide will explain the basics before you head out and will be with you the whole way. The only must is that you know how to swim and are in good physical and mental shape.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

How much does it cost and how do I book it?<\/h3>\n
\n

For Nest guests, it\u2019s \u20ac30 instead of the public rate of \u20ac36. You can book it at the reception of Arena Nest Hostel or chat with the manager. If you buy it on your own, you\u2019ll pay the regular price. Kids under 8 can sit in the middle of the kayak between two adults and have a different rate, around \u20ac15.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

What\u2019s included in the price?<\/h3>\n
\n

Self-draining kayak with a backrest, paddle, and life jacket; a guide in their own kayak; support boat throughout the route; snorkeling goggles; water, soft drink, or beer; a digital photo book; and accident and liability insurance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Can we always do snorkeling?<\/h3>\n
\n

The kayaking route usually goes ahead, but the snorkeling depends on the sea conditions and waves, which sometimes don\u2019t cooperate. The guides will decide on the spot once you\u2019re in the water.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

What if the weather's bad?<\/h3>\n
\n

If the activity is canceled due to weather forecasts, you\u2019ll get a full refund or be offered another date or route. If you cancel more than 48 hours in advance, you\u2019ll also get a full refund; but if it\u2019s less than 24 hours, there\u2019s no refund. On the day of the outing, there\u2019s a 15-minute grace period, so don\u2019t be late!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n

Where do we meet and where can I park?<\/h3>\n
\n

At the Teno Activo shop, in front of Dock 6 at the Los Gigantes Marina, 15 minutes before the scheduled time. The marina has paid parking, about \u20ac2 per hour, and fills up by 11:00 in the summer. Give yourself plenty of time\u2014it\u2019s not easy to park there.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>","exp_duracion":"2 and a half hours","exp_temporada":"segun_clima","experience_level":"easy","group_max":"","experience_island":"tenerife","exp_precios":[{"nombre":"Exclusive Nest Hostels price","detalle":"Public rate \u20ac36 \u00b7 your price to stay at Nest","precio":30,"precio_texto":"","destacado":true}],"exp_extras":null,"exp_incluye":[{"item":"Self-draining kayak with backrest, paddle, and life jacket"},{"item":"Individual kayak guide"},{"item":"Support boat throughout the trip"},{"item":"Snorkeling goggles"},{"item":"Water, soda, or beer"},{"item":"Digital photo book"},{"item":"Accident and liability insurance"}],"exp_llevar":[{"item":"Swimwear"},{"item":"Sun protection"}],"exp_hostel":20054,"exp_whatsapp_phone":"34630784534","exp_whatsapp_msg":"","hide_seasonal_alert":true},"yoast_head":"\nKayaking and Snorkeling in Los Gigantes, Tenerife \u00b7 \u20ac30<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kayak and snorkel beneath the cliffs of Los Gigantes in Tenerife.
