Dolphin cruise in Tenerife

Tenerife attracts nature lovers, and a Tenerife cruise is one of the most interesting options for interacting with these amazing mammals in their natural habitat. This is an ideal vacation destination for both adventure lovers and those looking for relaxation and tranquility. In this article, we will share with you everything you need to know about Tenerife cruises to make your trip unforgettable.

Is it worth it to take a cruise around Tenerife and can you actually meet dolphins?

Yes, definitely. What’s more, you can meet not only dolphins, but also whales, turtles and … flying fish! Cruises in Tenerife, however, are not only an opportunity to meet these charming creatures in their natural habitat, but also unforgettable views and a chance to see the island from a completely different side. It’s also great relaxation, time to catch the sun’s rays and the opportunity to swim in the ocean in beautiful bays.

Which cruise to choose?

The attractions in Tenerife are almost limitless. Among the cruises, several options are particularly worth noting:

1. catamaran cruises

One of the most popular choices is catamaran cruises, which last from 3 to 5 hours. During the cruise you will stop at places where you can meet dolphins, whales, or turtles. Lunch and drinks (soft drinks and beer and wine) are served on board the catamaran. Guides on such cruises tell interesting facts about the island and the creatures living in the ocean waters, which also makes the trip educational. The cruise also includes time for swimming in the ocean. The catamaran is stable, making it a good option for those with motion sickness. Cruise prices range between 45 and 69 euros. We especially recommend you to take a cruise under the cliffs of Los Gigantes, during which you will sail up to the highest cliffs in Europe. You can find more information about this cruise here. However, if you dream of a more intimate trip on a luxury catamaran, we recommend a cruise with 5* service in a smaller group. You can read more about the cruise here.

2. sailboat cruises

If you prefer sailing ships instead of a catamaran, then a trip on the beautiful oriental sailing ship Shogun will certainly appeal to you. It is made of teak wood, which is stunning in its appearance. The cruise costs 58 euros, and during the trip you will also have the opportunity to admire dolphins and taste Canarian cuisine (read about the Shogun sailing ship cruise here). Do you dream of an adventure on a small sailboat on the ocean waves? Then we recommend you a sailboat cruise with dolphin watching (read more here). There will be only 12 people on board.

3. private charters

If you are dreaming of an even more intimate atmosphere, consider a private yacht charter. This type of cruise can be customized according to your needs and expectations, and there are additional activities waiting for you during this trip. A private charter is an ideal option for families, groups of friends or couples who want to celebrate special occasions in a unique way.
