Lanzarote Sea Safari from Puerto calero

About this tour

A three-hour marine expedition departing Puerto Calero aboard the Perla Blanca I, a compact motor trimaran carrying up to 12 guests. Your marine biologist skipper navigates the Los Ajaches coastline—a series of hidden coves between Playa de la Casa and Playa Quemada—hunting for dolphins, whales and other Atlantic residents. The waters here harbour cetaceans year-round, and sightings are frequent enough to make this worth the voyage.

Highlights

• Scan for resident and migratory dolphins and whales
• Explore secluded coves inaccessible from shore
• Learn coastal ecology from a qualified marine biologist
• Small group format—twelve passengers maximum
• Waterproof jackets and life jackets supplied

What to expect

You'll board a sturdy eight-metre trimaran and head north along Lanzarote's western edge, stopping to drift past rocky outcrops and sandy inlets where marine life congregates. Your guide reads the water—bird activity, ripples, dorsal fins—and adjusts course accordingly. Cetacean spotting isn't guaranteed but the Los Ajaches waters are productive; even without dolphins, the stark volcanic landscape and empty beaches reward the trip. Expect some wind and spray, occasional engine noise, and plenty of binocular time. The boat handles well in moderate sea states.
