About this tour
Track whales and dolphins across Tenerife's Atlantic waters aboard a sustainable catamaran. This three-hour voyage anchors in pellucid bays where you'll snorkel among seagrass beds and reef life, then stretch out on deck with local bocadillos, mojo sauce, and cava whilst listening to marine mammals vocalise around you. The crew reads the water and explains behaviour in real time, turning sightings into genuine wildlife encounters rather than passive viewing.

- Snorkel in shallow turquoise anchorages
- Local sandwiches and drinks served on deck
- Eco-certified catamaran with qualified naturalist crew
- Three hours without crowds or rigid schedules
- Glass of cava included

What to expect
You'll board a roomy, low-impact catamaran and motor into established whale and dolphin territory. The crew listens via hydrophone and positions the boat to observe without harassment. Depending on conditions and marine activity, you'll drop anchor in clear water for a swim and snorkel—bring your own mask or hire on-site. Back aboard, settle with a plate of Spanish cured meats, fresh bread, and regional sauces whilst the Atlantic breeze picks up. A glass of cava marks the return to port. The three hours move at water pace: no rushing, no fake urgency. Sightings happen or they don't; that's the deal with wild animals.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel. Snorkel gear costs extra; consider hiring beforehand if you prefer familiar equipment. Dress in layers—sea wind cools quickly. Children need constant adult supervision. The boat runs rain or shine. Vegetarian meals require advance notice at booking.
