What to expect
You'll set out from your hotel in the morning (or afternoon, depending on booking) and head toward the cetacean hotspots off Tenerife's coast. The captain navigates to areas where whales and dolphins are most likely sighted; sightings aren't guaranteed but statistically strong. Once positioned, you'll have time to watch from deck or jump in with snorkelling gear over coral and rock formations. The crew keeps drinks flowing and provides light snacks between activity stops. Expect a relaxed, observational pace rather than a high-speed rush—the whole point is lingering in good spots.
Good to know
Bring your own towels. Guests outside Arona and Adeje must arrange their own transport to the departure point. Maximum 12 people per booking ensures intimate groups. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or cardiovascular concerns. Children must be supervised by adults at all times.
