Full description

Set sail in the Atlantic on an unforgettable eco-friendly dolphin and whale watching boat day trip in Tenerife. Get all food and drinks included onboard, plus the chance to have a swim whilst at sea. Start your marine adventure by meeting your crew at the dock for a quick safety briefing. Then, set sail towards ideal dolphin and whale watching hotspots on a catamaran equipped with fuel-efficient technology designed to greatly reduce its carbon footprint. Time to get out your phone or camera while cruising the Teno-Rasca Whale Sanctuary, part of Tenerife’s official Special Conservation Zone that protects vulnerable marine wildlife and habitats. Enjoy the views from the boat as you pass beaches such as Playa de las Américas and Playa de los Cristianos on the way. Even spot the famous Mount Teide from the water on clear days. Spot dolphins and whales in their natural habitat, safe in the knowledge that you are also simultaneously respecting it. Benefit from your crew’s expert commentary and underwater audio equipment to bring the sounds of the ocean onto your deck. Even enjoy some time to swim in the Atlantic waters before heading back to shore. On the 3-hour tour, you will be served drinks and a small sandwich.

The team is very good. We saw many dolphins and pilot whales. I got sea sick but the team took very good care. They asked me regarding my condition and asked me to sit in the middle of the cruise and gave me a cover to vomit and offered drink to come out of the feeling and also made me feel comfort by asking me to sleep to feel better. Thanks to one and all for this wonderful support.

This is so worth doing and one of the best experiences I've had. If you enjoy being out at sea, watching beautiful pilot whales in their natural habitat combined with some nice snacks and drinks, this is for you. I loved it and was back at the harbour the following morning for another trip. Simply delightful and energising and amazing. Loved, loved, loved it!

Amazing way to spend the morning!! Our crew was knowledgeable and friendly. They sat with us and explained various facts about local marine life. We felt like old friends, and saw several packs of Pilot whales. I appreciated how many crew members were on board, as they could spend time with everyone while also maintaining a safe environment. Information was translated into Spanish, English, and German. Great times had by everyone on board. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion. Ps: pick up anti-nausea meds across from the marina!
