What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained sailing yacht and head out to the towering volcanic cliffs that rise sheer from the ocean. The crew will scan for marine life whilst you settle in with refreshments. Depending on the season and sightings, you may encounter whales or dolphins—but this isn't guaranteed, so keep expectations realistic. Midway through, the boat anchors at a quiet cove where you can jump in to swim and snorkel. The sail back is unhurried, drinks flowing and fresh food on hand. It's a relaxed rhythm rather than an action-packed excursion.
