About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- markroy19850 contributionsGreat Kayak experience in Tenerife!This was a really enjoyable trip. We went as a family (2 adults, 14 & 12 year old). The route is a long paddle but very pleasant the scenery and weather was lovely. We managed to see some turtles around the fish farm which was very nice. I can recommend this company for kayak expeditions. The only thing I would suggest is that you are physically fit before booking onto it as there is about 6km of paddling and some of our group were struggling to keep up.Written 31 August 2024
- trevorj830 contributionsGreat morning outingWell organised. Friendly. Appropriate emphasis on safety. We saw turtles and dolphins. Enjoyed the paddling. Couldn't snorkel due to waves bit it was still fun. My 7 and 9 year olds both had a great time. Thanks Caroline!Written 29 August 2024
- 105ignatiusp0 contributionsSpectacular views, guide and turtles.Thank you to our guide, Gabriel, who made our experience exciting and fun. We saw two turtles on the surface and saw a stingray, trumpet fish, and other sealife while snorkelling. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys an adventure! Thank you for the lovely pictures in the cave!Written 27 August 2024
- saragN973CU0 contributionsAmazing experience!What an experience! It was the first time I saw turtles so close up. The sea was wild so I had some doubts at the beginning, but the guidance was very professional! At no point did I feel unsafe! Thank you for that!Written 6 August 2024
- Kevinmcatee0 contributionsStunning.This was a brilliant tour, the staff were friendly and welcoming, we saw turtles and dolphins right next to the kayaks, this was my wife’s first time kayaking and she truly loved it, if you plan a kayak trip during your visit I would highly recommend Shaka Kayak great value for the price. Will definitely do it again the next time I visit Tenerife. Well done team Shaka and thanks to you all for a wonderful experience.Written 5 August 2024
- Discover147121476260 contributionsThe worst experienceThis is the first review I have left and the reason my son made a TripAdvisor account just to leave this review yet..... This was the worst experience of my life we saw no wildlife and kayaked for about 4 hours non stop someone could have a stroke out there and they would die there is no help for those who need it my sister capsized and was getting battered between boats there was not enough staff and there was around 12 boats gathered around 1 person there was way too many people and so undermanned they also gave my mother the wrong sized life jacket causing her to have a wound from the abrasion caused by. My sister has had great trauma caused from the lack of care and communication due to the undermanned staff. If we knew how to contact health and safety for Tenerife we would.Written 4 August 2024
- isabellesI9039ZH0 contributionsGreat kayaking and dolphin spottingWe had an absolutely brilliant time kayaking and snorkeling with Ciros and Gabi. The group was not too big and it was well organised. The guides were super friendly and knew their stuff and were very respectful of the wildlife. Both our young children had a great time and enjoyed their first time snorkeling. So lucky to spot some dolphins and a turtle.Written 29 July 2024
- Adam W0 contributionsExcellent Experience!Had an amazing experience. Me my wife and daughter loved it! We felt we got really good value for money and the instructors were friendly and very knowledgeable about the turtles we spotted.Written 5 June 2024
- Paradise492820840250 contributionsGreat fun in a kayakDid this trip in the double kayak with my partner and 4 other double kayaks and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Caroline, was very friendly and made sure you felt safe at all times (most of us seemed to be absolute novices) and kept us informed of the local area and it's eco systems. The snorkelling was great fun even though we didn't see turtles on this occasion although having to be hauled back on to my kayak by Caroline was not my finest moment! A great experience and highly recommended by me and my partner. Thanks Caroline Pete& the other CarolineWritten 6 March 2024

- Sandytwoshoes0 contributionsGreat way to see ocean, sea animals!!Davide was our guide and was helpful, knowledgeable, and great to be with on the trip!! Kayaking was fun and a workout. We saw turtles!! And cool colorful crabs; when we were snorkeling, the shelf underneath the water was amazing and we saw lots of fish, and a round black ray! Davide took video and photos so we have great memories! I'm tired but it was such a great day!!Written 23 November 2023
- kataflem0 contributionsAvoid this companyPlease avoid this company if you wish to go on the kayaking trip. At first, our guide seemed friendly enough but then started talking badly about other customers approaching him. This should have been the first red flag. It was me and my husband along with 2 other couples we didn’t know. Once we got going, after about 10 minutes, he stopped and said if anyone wants to go back, they can. It wasn’t easy but we were feeling fine so decided to carry on. This was our first time kayaking so naturally we were quite slow which seemed to anger our guide. Long story short, the guide berated my husband the entire time, called him a ‘chicken’, said we were ruining the entire trip for everyone and told us we should have never come on this trip. Told us he is nice but if you get on the wrong side of him, then he will show his bad side. A reassuring thing to hear when you are in deep waters away from shore. He seemed absolutely bewildered that a couple who have never kayaked before, were slow at kayaking. When we got to the snorkeling area, we stayed on the kayak as we did not feel comfortable to go in, meanwhile, the guide was on the phone to his boss talking badly about us in Spanish right in front of us thinking we couldn’t understand him. Once we came back to shore, he continued to talk badly about my husband to me as if I would be happy about this. Bizarre and unprofessional. Afterwards, we returned to the booth where we purchased the excursion to let the saleswoman know about our experience, not expecting anything. She seemed totally surprised at this and called the boss who told her to give us a 50% refund and she confirmed that the guide called the boss in the middle of the trip to complain about us. Half a star for the 50% refund after a disgusting experience with the guide, half a star because we saw 1 sea turtle. Screenshots show the messages we received after the experience from the guide. My husband’s ’attitude’ being asking the guide for more breaks when he was feeling sick.Written 31 October 2023

We had a 5 stars experience. My little cousins dragged me into the Surf class and I was hesitant as I haven't been in a board in ages. The whole team treated us nicely, patiently and kindly. Also, they speak Spanish, Italian and English (as far as I noticed).
They take safety seriously and explained thoroughly how to begin with surf, also encourage everyone in the team to defeat the fear and have fun. Also, we got lovely pictures to share with our family and friends.
It was a great experience... we will go back for more Surf and Kayaking. Totally worth it :)

WE LOVE SHAKA. We did the surfing class and are planning on taking a second lesson because we had so much fun! The guys teach you first on land the basics then get you in the water and they will help you the whole time and cheer you on. The instructors were so fun and nice and got some good pics for us too. We did another excursion with Shaka kayaking and saw sea turtles and dolphins which was also awesome. Both excursions 100% worth it so fun and a great deal!

Both my children age 14 and 10 took the 2hour session. Both children thoroughly endjoyed their session and came out of the water with smiles ear to ear.
They dont normally take 10year olds but my daughter is a very strong swimmer (county level) and they agreed to take her to her delight!
Both children were schooled brilliantly and the instructors looked after them in the water amazingly.

Very nice experience!
This week we took group lessons twice and once we had a private lesson.
Very good, safe instructions, with a lot of humor.
They take the time to explain things and...after a lesson we were able to get up on the wave!!

10/10 would recommend.
This was the best experience ever! Our instructor, Marco, was really nice, funny and explained everything for us and helped us to catch the waves.
They provide everything you need and they make sure you have a great experience.
I really want to do it again, and I would definitely choose Shaka surf school again!
Thank you 🏄🏽♀️
