About this tour

The crew keeps respectful distance from marine life, sharing insight into species behaviour and local conservation work.

What to expect
You'll board a classic wooden vessel and spend roughly ninety minutes cruising Tenerife's coast, scanning for cetaceans. The crew won't chase or stress animals—sightings depend on natural patterns and conditions. An experienced guide talks through whatever appears: behaviour quirks, migration routes, and the region's protection schemes. Towards the end, if seas are calm and the captain approves, you'll anchor for a swim. It's unrushed and genuine, not a tick-box photo hunt. Bring a light layer; Atlantic breezes pick up once you're offshore.
Good to know
Swimming stop is optional and contingent on weather and sea state—captains make the final call. Bring your own towel. Drinks and snacks cost extra onboard. Infants must sit with an adult; prams and pushchairs work fine elsewhere. All decks and facilities are wheelchair accessible.
