Tenerife: Whale & Dolphin Watching Cruise & Swim, Los Cristianos
Overview
Step aboard the traditional Peter Pan boat in Los Cristianos and enjoy a respectful whale and dolphin watching cruise along Tenerife’s stunning south coast.
With a maximum of 60 passengers on board, this tour offers more space and a more comfortable experience than many crowded whale watching excursions. The boat’s low decks, close to sea level, provide excellent views of the ocean and fantastic opportunities to spot dolphins and resident pilot whales in their natural habitat.
During the 2-hour cruise, our multilingual guide will share fascinating insights about Tenerife’s marine wildlife, local cetacean population, and coastline.
Weather and sea conditions permitting, we will make a short swimming stop of approximately 15 minutes in a beautiful coastal area.
Our experienced crew follows responsible whale watching guidelines, ensuring a respectful approach that does not disturb the animals’ natural behaviour.
This tour is perfect for couples, families, and small groups looking for an authentic whale and dolphin watching experience in Tenerife.
