Set sail from Los Cristianos on a 2 hour cruise that combines whale and dolphin watching with lunch on board and, on some options, a swim and snorkeling stop in the Atlantic.

Getting started

Make your way to Los Cristianos Port a little early, following the meeting point shared on your voucher. Your crew will validate your booking at the designated pier and guide you onto your boat. You’ll board a pirate-themed vessel with lots of character. Once everyone is on board, the crew will run through safety information and simple wildlife-watching guidelines before casting off.

What to expect

As you leave the harbour, you’ll follow Tenerife’s southern coastline into open waters where resident pilot whales and several dolphin species are frequently seen year-round. The crew will point out activity on the surface, explain how to spot blows and dorsal fins, and share a bit about the Teno-Rasca marine strip and why this area is so special for marine life.

Features

  • Whale and dolphin watching: Watch for resident pilot whales and playful dolphins in their natural Atlantic habitat while the crew shares what they know about local species and responsible viewing practices.

  • Coastal views from Los Cristianos: Soak in views of Tenerife’s south coast, with volcanic landscapes, cliffs, and open sea stretching into the distance as you sail.

  • Swim and snorkel stop: Stop for a swim and snorkeling session in the Atlantic. Bring your own gear to look beneath the surface or simply relax in the water near the boat.
