Sail from Puerto Colón on a Blue Flag yacht in search of whales and dolphins - just 11 guests.
From
Escape the crowds and enjoy a more personal Whale & Dolphin Watching Tour in Tenerife aboard the Kosamui sailing yacht departing from Puerto Colón. With a maximum of just 11 guests, this small-group experience offers plenty of space to relax while enjoying one of the best whale watching locations in Europe.
As you sail along Tenerife’s south-west coast, you’ll head into the protected waters between Tenerife and La Gomera, home to a resident population of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins that can be seen throughout the year. Your experienced skipper will share interesting facts about the marine wildlife while ensuring the animals are observed responsibly and respectfully.
Unlike larger catamarans, a sailing yacht offers a quieter and more intimate experience. As the sails are raised and the engine is reduced whenever possible, you’ll enjoy the peaceful sound of the ocean while keeping an eye out for whales, dolphins and occasionally turtles or seabirds. The excursion follows the strict guidelines of the Blue Flag (Barco Azul) programme, which promotes sustainable and responsible whale watching in Tenerife.
During the cruise, you’ll also stop in a sheltered bay where you can relax, take in the stunning coastal scenery and enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks. If sea conditions allow, there’ll also be the opportunity for a refreshing swim in the Atlantic before returning to Puerto Colón.
