About this tour
Sail the waters off Los Gigantes on a small sailboat built for genuine wildlife spotting rather than crowd management. This three-hour excursion takes you into a marine conservation zone where dolphins and whales regularly appear. The approach prioritises observation over spectacle—you'll anchor in quiet bays, swim in clear water, and eat proper meals aboard whilst the crew handles the boat with professionalism and restraint. It's the kind of outing where you actually disconnect rather than pose for photos.
Highlights
- Small-group sailboat, not a ferry
- Dolphins and whales sighted regularly in protected waters
- Snorkel directly from the boat in calm bays
- Full meals and snacks included aboard
- Skip the crowds; genuine marine conservation focus
What to expect
You'll board a modest sailing vessel designed for intimate groups rather than volume. The crew will navigate toward known cetacean feeding grounds within a protected marine zone, stopping in sheltered spots where conditions allow swimming and snorkelling. Bring a book or simply sit—there's no forced activity or scripted commentary. Meals happen on deck. If dolphins or whales appear, the boat slows and maintains distance; this is observation, not pursuit. Children travel easily, prams are welcome, and the pace suits all fitness levels. Expect to be on water for the full three hours.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a light layer for wind at sea. Snorkelling gear is provided but bring your own if you prefer a custom fit. Public transport reaches the port. Seasickness tablets advisable for sensitive stomachs, though Los Gigantes waters tend calm.
