Booking option: Sailboat tour Los Gigantes with whale and dolphin watching

Our sailing experience gets underway with a warm welcome in the port of Los Gigantes. From there, we weigh anchor and set course for the whale and dolphin routes of the west coast of Tenerife. With a little luck we will be able to see marine life such as bottlenose dolphins or pilot whales in their natural environment. During the 3-hour boat trip we can also pay attention to the wonderful surroundings - in the middle of a natural park and with a view of the Teide. For the anchor stop we return to the cliffs of Los Gigantes. We can swim and snorkel in a quiet cove at the foot of the vertical walls. A snack and drinks will be served on board for refreshment before making the return trip to Lo Gigantes. It is a unique experience to cruise on a sailboat along the west coast of the giants, accompanied by whales and dolphins.

Detailed description

Sailing boat tour Dolphins & Whales Los Gigantes

A boat trip around Los Gigantes is the best choice to get to know this beautiful ecosystem full of life. The cliffs are a spectacular site, made up of impressive rock faces up to 800 metres high, rising from the seabed and interlocking with each other. To enjoy this splendour undisturbed and in its entirety, you must reach it by boat. Los Gigantes is also an ideal place to observe Tenerife's wildlife - after all, there is a permanent population of pilot whales and dolphins here. Depending on the season, migratory species such as turtles and other larger whales can also be seen.

Los Gigantes is the best starting point for a whale and dolphin watching boat trip in Tenerife. This part of the island has great biological richness. The seabed is home to a special flora and fauna. There is a stable colony of pilot whales (Globicephala Machrorynchus) living in the strait between Tenerife and La Gomera, which can be observed all year round. The boat trip from Los Gigantes takes around 3 hours and offers enough time to enjoy the boat, the landscape and the sight of the whales or dolphins.

If you would like to swim at the feet of Los Gigantes, you can jump directly from the boat into the water at our anchor stop near Masca. On board, the crew serves snacks and drinks.
