About this tour
Three hours sailing privately from Puerto Colón on Tenerife's south coast. A small-group voyage (max 11 passengers) aboard a proper sailing boat with a multilingual skipper who navigates you past volcanic cliffs and into sheltered anchorages. Depending on season, you may spot dolphins or whales. Swim in a secluded cove, snorkel the underwater terrain, and eat simple Spanish fare whilst bobbing on the Atlantic. Refreshments and kit included. Couples, families and friends get the boat to themselves.

What to expect
You'll depart from Puerto Colón and head southward along Tenerife's dramatic coastline under sail. The skipper will navigate at a leisurely pace, stopping at a shallow bay where you can slip overboard to snorkel and swim. The crew will hand round cold drinks and local snacks as you take in the black volcanic rock formations and quieter waters. Marine life sightings aren't guaranteed but are common in the warmer months. Expect a relaxed, unhurried rhythm rather than a structured itinerary—the boat moves with the wind and the group's mood.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen; these aren't provided. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The boat isn't wheelchair-accessible. Public transport reaches the departure point. All fitness levels welcome, though some mobility on the vessel is required.
