Overview

Escape the crowds and enjoy a more personal Whale & Dolphin Sailing Tour in Tenerife aboard the Atlantic Star. Departing from Puerto Colón, this spacious sailing yacht carries a maximum of just 10 guests, creating a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room to enjoy the ocean and Tenerife's beautiful coastline.

Sail into the waters off South Tenerife in search of pilot whales, dolphins and other marine life living freely in their natural habitat. Tenerife is one of Europe’s leading whale watching destinations, and sightings are common throughout the year. However, these are wild animals and sightings can never be guaranteed, making every encounter a genuine experience with nature.

After whale and dolphin watching, you’ll stop for a refreshing swim and snorkel in the Atlantic Ocean. Snorkelling equipment is included, while complimentary snacks and unlimited soft drinks, water, wine, beer, sangria and cava are available on board throughout the excursion.

Choose the shared 3-hour Atlantic Star tour for a small-group sailing experience, or contact us directly to arrange a private Atlantic Star charter exclusively for your family or group. With just 10 guests maximum, professional crew and a relaxed atmosphere, this is one of the best small-group whale and dolphin sailing tours in Tenerife.

FAQs

Will we see whales and dolphins on the Atlantic Star?

The waters off South Tenerife are one of the best locations in Europe for whale and dolphin watching, with pilot whales living in the area throughout the year and dolphins regularly spotted along the coast. This gives you a very good chance of seeing marine wildlife during your Atlantic Star sailing tour. However, whales and dolphins are wild animals living freely in their natural habitat, so sightings can never be guaranteed. The crew will use their local knowledge to search for marine life while always observing the animals responsibly.

The Atlantic Star Whale & Dolphin Sailing Tour is limited to a maximum of just 10 guests, offering a much smaller and more intimate experience than Tenerife’s larger catamarans. You’ll have more space to relax, better opportunities to enjoy the views and a more personal atmosphere with the crew. If you’re looking for a peaceful small-group whale watching tour in Tenerife, the Atlantic Star is an excellent choice.

Yes. Snacks are included during your 3-hour Atlantic Star sailing tour, together with a wide selection of unlimited drinks. These include soft drinks, water, wine, beer, sangria and cava. Vegetarian and gluten-free food options can also be arranged with advance notice, so please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking.

Yes. The Atlantic Star is also available for private charter for groups of up to 10 guests. A private sailing charter gives your group exclusive use of the boat and is perfect for families, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals and special occasions. Private Atlantic Star charters are arranged directly, so please contact us and our team will help organise your experience.

Yes. The Atlantic Star includes a swimming and snorkelling stop, giving you the opportunity to cool off in the Atlantic Ocean during your 3-hour excursion. Snorkelling equipment is included, so you can explore beneath the surface before returning to the boat to relax with snacks and drinks. The exact swimming location may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.

We always do our best to secure the exact excursion you’ve booked. In the unlikely event that the tour operator is unable to confirm your booking, we’ll contact you as soon as possible with the best available alternatives, such as a different departure time, another date or a similar excursion.

If none of these options are suitable, we’ll arrange a full refund immediately.
