Your Experience

Spot whales and dolphins off Los Gigantes on a 3-hour eco-sailboat cruise with a small group, onboard snacks, and time to swim or snorkel in calm Atlantic bays.

Getting started

Make your way to Puerto de Los Gigantes, where your crew will welcome you on board the sailboat. After a quick safety briefing and a simple explanation of the route, you can choose a comfortable spot on deck as the boat leaves the harbor and heads toward the Teno-Rasca marine reserve.

What to expect

Once you are out on the open water, the crew begins scanning the sea for movement and fins, pointing out any whales, dolphins, or seabirds that appear near the boat. This stretch of coast is known for regular sightings of pilot whales and several dolphin species, which often surface close enough for you to watch their behavior in a calm, unhurried way.

The crew shares straightforward commentary about the animals you see, how to recognize them, and why the Teno-Rasca corridor is so important for marine life. Because the sailboat relies mainly on wind power, there is less engine noise, so you can hear the sea and enjoy a quieter approach to wildlife watching.

At a suitable bay or cove, chosen according to the day’s conditions, the skipper pauses the cruise for a short swim and snorkel stop. You can slide into the clear water, float near the boat, and look for fish and other small marine life, or simply stay on deck and take photos of the Los Gigantes cliffs.
