The magic of kayaking in Alcalá

If you decide to go out to sea, be prepared, because you'll be able to see turtles, volcanic coasts, impressive coves and admire the vast and beautiful Atlantic Ocean from a unique perspective.

If you are staying at Alcalá, You are very lucky, as the southwest coast of Tenerife, especially in this area, offers ideal conditions for getting started with sea kayaking:

• Calm waters most of the year
• Unique volcanic landscapes
• Hidden coves accessible only from the sea
• A spectacular light at sunrise and sunset
• Appreciating wildlife from your kayak

And something that makes this place even more special: it's an extremely tranquil area. Unlike other areas like Adeje, Los Cristianos, or even Los Gigantes, there's hardly any maritime traffic here. There are no jet skis or large mass excursions. Outside the water, you can breathe in the calm, and out at sea, the most common sight is the occasional fisherman.

Here you don't just row. Here you glide over the Atlantic, feel its rhythm and become part of the landscape.

This activity is ideal for everyone, so don't hesitate and book yours now.

Snorkel: discover the world beneath the surface

If you now wish to combine kayaking with snorkelling, let me tell you that you'll be opening a door to another universe.

From your kayak, you can reach hidden corners and then dive in to observe them up close:

Sea turtles and rays (sightings not guaranteed, but frequent)
Shoals of fish such as barracuda or parrotfish
Unique underwater volcanic formations

It's an experience accessible even for beginners, but profoundly transformative. And best of all, the groups are small, so you'll always be looked after.

Apnoea: an even deeper connection

For those who want to go a step further, freediving is a unique experience. It's not about competing, but about learning to breathe, relax, and connect with yourself and the ocean. With Breathingwater, you can start from scratch or advance with official certification.

For this activity, it is recommended to have several sessions. Therefore, we recommend combining this activity with people who are staying in Alcalá or at Finca La Gaviota for an extended stay.

This way, you'll be able to integrate this activity into your daily life and make the most of your stay. Just imagine finishing your remote work and heading to the Atlantic Ocean to discover the gifts it provides in the depths of the oceans! Look no further, there's no comparison!

Physical and mental benefits

Staying in our holiday homes means not only enjoying Tenerife, but also resting your mind and body by doing activities that are difficult to do at home. Therefore, practicing sports such as kayaking and snorkelling during your stay is the best way to truly make the most of the island, especially if you are staying in Alcalá, where you also have the close support of a local company.

These experiences are not only fun, but they also bring great benefits: they improve cardiovascular resistance and upper body strength, reduce stress and bring mental clarity, encourage mindfulness and connection to the present, and reinforce respect for nature and sustainability. It's sport, yes, but it's also well-being.
