A small-group sailing cruise from Los Gigantes, Tenerife. Spot dolphins, pilot whales, turtles, then swim and snorkel near the cliffs.

“The two brothers were really friendly and knowledgeable and ensured that we knew what we might see and we loved the turtle that they spotted and the playful dolphins that put on a display around our boat. We didn't see whales but had the chance to swim off the boat which was also great! I would highly recommend this trip and have done so back at our hotel with other guests!”

Small-group Tenerife sailboat whale watching from Puerto Colón with snacks, cava, and snorkeling for turtles and cetaceans.

“This trip was fantastic, the skipper and mate were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and really went out of their way to make you feel welcome. we chose a smaller boat as we have watched dolphins on larger boats in other parts of the world bit the smaller boat made it worthwhile as we're able to get close to the dolphins and there were no other boats in the vicinity. we saw numerous dolphins invlcluding calves right alongside the vessel. despite other reviews I have read the food was fine for a 3hr trip ham and tomato on a good baguette and carrot cake which was more than adequate. Drinks were continually…”

A small sandwich and variety of drinks was provided. We had the opportunity to get into the water but felt it was a little too chilly for us. The boat comfortably fit the 6 adults and 2 children in our group. It was a beautiful day on the water.”

Daniel went over and above to make everyone onboard feel safe and welcome. He was focused on providing expertise and knowledge on all whales, dolphins and turtles. Making sure we would have the best experience possible (having been on other trips over the years this was by far the best). The food, drinks and not to forget the pastries provided were fabulous. We’re looking forward to returning in the near future.”
