Full description
Ready for a complete experience at sea surrounded by Tenerife' s most spectacular marine wildlife?
You'll set sail from Puerto Colón to explore the coastline all the way to the imposing cliffs of Los Gigantes. That's the privileged perspective you'll enjoy on this 5-hour cruise, where you'll have the unique opportunity to observe whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. A guided tour that includes a strategic stop for a swim in crystal clear waters and lunch on board.
What we will do
We will meet at Puerto Colon in Costa Adeje, about 15 minutes before departure. After a welcome from our friendly crew, we will board a majestic 24-metre wooden schooner that will transport us to another era as we cast off to begin our adventure.
We will sail through the calm waters of the southwest of Tenerife, a marine sanctuary where pilot whales and dolphins reside all year round. We will have the opportunity to observe these amazing animals very close to the boat, while the team shares fascinating facts about their behaviour in several languages. It is a respectful and educational experience, ideal for both adults and children.
The journey continues to the spectacular Los Gigantes Cliffs, one of the most breathtaking landscapes on the island. Sea conditions permitting, we will drop anchor in the beautiful Masca Bay. There, we can enjoy a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters using the complimentary floats and waistcoats, or simply relax in the sunbathing areas on deck.
While at anchor, we will enjoy a delicious lunch freshly prepared on board, the perfect moment to recharge our batteries surrounded by picture postcard scenery. During the smooth ride back to Puerto Colon, we'll enjoy a final drink and soak up the sea breeze, looking for new sightings before finishing our 5 hour sail.
