Tenerife: Pirate boat tour whales & dolphins in Los Gigantes

5-hour boat trip with a pirate ship from the south of Tenerife: observe whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, admire the cliffs of Los Gigantes and enjoy a swim in the bay of Masca.

Booking option: Boat trip with the pirate ship to Los Gigantes

The excursion begins in Puerto Colón in search of pilot whales. Once spotted, these mammals can be observed in their natural environment for up to 30 minutes. After the observation time, the pirate ship sails to the cliffs of Los Gigantes and we anchor in one of the bays for a refreshing swim and lunch. After anchoring, the boat returns to the harbour of departure and sails along the coast to observe the southwest coast of the island of Tenerife. During the trip, there is a high probability of observing different species of dolphins, such as bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins and spotted dolphins.

Nice tour, but could be better organised

All in all, the tour was really great! We saw lots of dolphins and the backdrop of the Los Gigantes cliffs was breathtaking. The food on board was okay, but nothing special. The transfer worked well, but the organisation during boarding was chaotic. But for the price you can't complain. All in all, a worthwhile trip.

Nette Tour, aber könnte besser organisiert sein

Die Tour war im Großen und Ganzen echt super! Wir haben viele Delfine gesehen und die Kulisse der Los Gigantes Klippen war atemberaubend. Das Essen an Bord war okay, aber nichts Besonderes. Der Transfer hat gut funktioniert, aber die Organisation beim Boarding war chaotisch. Für den Preis kann man aber nicht meckern. Alles in allem ein lohnenswerter Ausflug.

great family trip but could use some improvements 🚤🐬

the whale and dolphin watching tour was a blast for me and my kid! the boat was comfy and the crew was friendly. lunch was decent, but the rice was a bit bland. the swim stop was refreshing, but we could've used more time to enjoy it. we did spot some dolphins, which was awesome! overall, a solid trip but could use a few tweaks for perfection. don't forget your swimwear and sunblock!

Geweldige ervaring: walvissen en dolfijnen spotten bij Los Gigantes

Had een fantastische tijd op de 5-uur durende piratenboottocht! Walvissen en dolfijnen gezien in hun natuurlijke habitat, gevolgd door een verfrissende duik in de baai van Masca. Lunch aan boord was heerlijk en het uitzicht op de kliffen was adembenemend. Aanrader voor natuurliefhebbers! 🌊🐬
