Tenerife cruise for dolphins and whales

Tenerife is a true paradise for lovers of nature, the ocean and unforgettable memories. One of the most beautiful and popular attractions in Tenerife for our clients is a catamaran cruise under the cliffs of Los Gigantes. This is an expedition in search of wild dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. This is an ideal option for families, couples and solo travelers alike.

These cruises take place on comfortable catamarans with experienced crews who know the best places in the Canary Islands Ocean where these magnificent sea creatures can be found and have the appropriate licenses to sail to these places. In addition, the route takes you under the impressive cliffs of Los Gigantes – some of the highest cliffs in Europe. All this makes the trip not only full of excitement, but also extremely picturesque.

Why take a catamaran cruise under the cliffs of Los Gigantes?

Searching for dolphins and whales

The main attraction of the cruise is the opportunity to observe wild dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. The waters around Tenerife are known for the presence of numerous species of these marine mammals, and the chance of seeing them during the trip is very high.

Route under the cliffs of Los Gigantes

The cruise will take you along the spectacular cliffs of Los Gigantes, which rise up to about 600 meters above sea level. It’s a remarkable viewing experience that you’ll remember for a long time – the immense power of nature and the blue of the ocean create a fabulous scenery here. And from the deck of a catamaran you can really see their power.

Warm meal and drinks

The price of the cruise includes a full Canarian dinner and unlimited drinks, including local sangria, beer and soft drinks. This is a guarantee of relaxation and comfort throughout the trip.

Comfort on board

A catamaran voyage is not only an adventure, but also a comfort: a spacious deck from which you can jump directly into the Ocean under the cliffs, comfortable seats, and, for an additional fee, sunbeds for sunbathing.

Who is this cruise for?

A catamaran cruise in Tenerife is an attraction ideal for:

• Families with children – you can even bring a collapsible umbrella-type stroller on board,
• couples looking for a romantic getaway,
• Those traveling solo,
• Groups of friends who want to spend active time on the ocean.

Where can you go from there?

One of the biggest advantages of this attraction is that you can set off from both the south of Tenerife(Costa Adeje, Puerto de Santiago, Los Cristianos) and Puerto de la Cruz in the north of the island. This option gives you flexibility – no matter where you spend the night in Tenerife, you can join the expedition!

Takeoff from Puerto Colón

The catamaran departs from the Puerto Colón marina in the south of the island, in the heart of Costa Adeje – an ideal starting point if you’re vacationing in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas or Costa Adeje. You can get to the port on your own or take a shuttle as part of a tour.

Transportation from Puerto de la Cruz
