Overview

Your tour begins by boarding a comfortable and quality boat from the port of Playa de San Juan at this point we will go to a special conservation area "Whale Sanctuary". Here we begin the search for whales, dolphins and all the marine fauna of Tenerife, such as turtles, flying fish and more. We will set course to the Cliffs of the Giants where vertical rock walls rise that fall on the ocean from a height of approximately 600 meters. We can enjoy a relaxing swim or snorkel in the cove of Masca and then enjoy typical and fresh products of the day with drinks and fruits. Then we will return skirting the coast to visualize the volcanic formations of the coast and discover impressive and magical corners of the island of Tenerife while our captain and local guide will give us an interesting talk about volcanology, cetacean meteorology and scientific information.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Whale and dolphin watching tour Los Gigantes and Masca in small groups?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
