About this tour
Spend five hours tracking whales and dolphins off Tenerife's dramatic coastline aboard a roomy catamaran. You'll cruise past the towering Los Gigantes cliffs, anchor in the sheltered Masca bay for a swim or snorkel, and listen to marine mammal calls through on-deck speakers. A skipper and two crew guide the experience, with lunch—chicken and vegetable rice or pasta salad—plus wine, beer and soft drinks included throughout.

What to expect
The boat departs and heads toward the cliff formations, with crew providing live commentary on marine life and local geography. Once anchored at Masca, you'll have time to swim or snorkel (equipment hire available). The galley serves lunch—choose rice or pasta—with fresh fruit, wine, beer and water. You'll remain on deck or below, listening to underwater recordings of passing pods. Weather determines visibility but the boat operates year-round, so pack layers and waterproofs. The skipper and sailors are attentive and answer questions throughout.
