About the activity

Set sail across the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean for a dolphin and whale watching excursion in Los Gigantes, Tenerife. Departing from the marina, this marine excursion takes you into the heart of the Teno-Rasca marine strip, Europe's first designated Whale Heritage Site. This ecological sanctuary between Tenerife and La Gomera harbors resident populations of short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins year-round. Guided by certified experts, you will observe these extraordinary marine mammals in their natural habitat while taking in dramatic views of the towering 600-meter cliffs of Los Gigantes and Mount Teide. Whether relaxing on deck or plunging into clear waters during a coastal swim stop, this sea trip offers a genuine connection with Tenerife's marine environment.

Your journey takes place aboard a Bavaria 46 Cruiser sailing yacht, engineered for stability, comfort, and smooth navigation. Under the guidance of professional skippers and cetacean expert guides certified by the Canary Islands government, you will learn about the marine ecosystem and identification of local species, including sea turtles and seabirds. Following the wildlife observation, the yacht anchors beneath the towering volcanic cliffs for an approximate 20-minute swimming and snorkeling break equipped with Decathlon masks. Guests are served refreshing drinks onboard, followed by fresh Canarian tapas.

Designed for ocean lovers of all skill levels, knowing how to swim is not required to participate in this boat excursion, as life jackets in various sizes are provided for both adults and children. Participants must be able to climb the steep stairs accessing the onboard toilet facilities and the swim ladder to reboard after swimming. For those seeking complete privacy, exclusive private charter options are available for up to 9 guests with customized itineraries and flexible swim stops in Masca Bay.

Whale and dolphin sightings are possible all year in Tenerife thanks to the calm shelter of the southwestern coast. Book your dolphin and whale watching excursion in Los Gigantes, Tenerife today and experience an authentic ocean adventure along the breathtaking cliffs!
