DISCOVER TENERIFE ABOVE & BELOW THE OCEAN
Experience whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife from a completely different perspective aboard a spacious catamaran equipped with panoramic underwater viewing windows. Departing from Puerto Colón, the excursion takes you through the protected waters off Tenerife’s southwest coast, one of the island’s most important marine habitats.
Look for whales and dolphins in their natural environment from the outdoor decks, then head below the surface to observe marine life through the catamaran’s panoramic underwater windows — without having to enter the water.
Choose between a 2-hour wildlife cruise, a 3-hour experience with swimming and lunch, or a 4.5-hour journey towards Masca and the spectacular Los Gigantes cliffs.

WHAT TO EXPECT
WILDLIFE, SCENERY & A RELAXED OCEAN EXPERIENCE
Cruise through the protected waters between Tenerife and La Gomera in search of whales, dolphins and other marine wildlife while specialised guides explain the species and their behaviour.
The cruise is designed to be relaxed rather than rushed, giving you time to observe, take photographs and enjoy Tenerife’s southwest coastline. Longer excursions also include swimming, food and drinks, with the 4.5-hour experience continuing towards Masca and the dramatic Los Gigantes cliffs.
ACCESSIBILITY
The main deck can accommodate guests with reduced mobility, and the crew can assist with boarding and disembarking whenever operational and safety conditions allow.
Manual wheelchairs up to 68 cm wide can be accepted. Access to the upper deck and underwater viewing area requires stairs, and electric wheelchairs cannot be accommodated.
If you have specific mobility requirements, please contact us before booking so we can confirm the most suitable arrangements.

Can I really see underwater from the catamaran?
Yes. The catamaran features panoramic underwater viewing windows that allow you to observe beneath the surface without entering the water.
Are whale and dolphin sightings guaranteed?
Whales and dolphins are wild animals, so sightings can never be absolutely guaranteed. However, the operator reports a very high sighting success rate in these waters.

All excursions depart from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. Guests arriving independently should be at the meeting point approximately 30 minutes before departure.
Is food included?

Drinks are included on the 3-hour and 4.5-hour excursions, including beer, sangria, juice, water and soft drinks. The 2-hour cruise has an onboard bar where drinks and snacks can be purchased.
Can we swim during the excursion?
Swimming is included on the 3-hour and 4.5-hour cruises, depending on sea and weather conditions. The 3-hour experience normally stops near Diego Hernández, while the 4.5-hour cruise includes a stop in Masca Bay.
Is transport included?
Transfers are available from selected Tenerife areas depending on the excursion, day and pickup location. Please provide your accommodation details when booking so availability can be confirmed.
