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.

An eventful excursion!

The 5-hour whale and dolphin watching excursion along the coast of Los Gigantes was a rewarding experience overall. The impressive cliffs and the opportunity to observe the sea creatures in their natural habitat were definitely the highlights of the tour. The lunch on board was satisfactory and the transfer went smoothly. The only criticism was the somewhat hectic organisation at times. Nevertheless, highly recommended for nature lovers.

Show review in original language

Ein erlebnisreicher Ausflug!

Der 5-stündige Ausflug zur Wal- und Delfinbeobachtung entlang der Küste von Los Gigantes war insgesamt eine lohnenswerte Erfahrung. Die beeindruckenden Klippen und die Möglichkeit, die Meeresbewohner in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum zu beobachten, waren definitiv die Höhepunkte der Tour. Das Mittagessen an Bord war zufriedenstellend, und der Transfer verlief reibungslos. Einziger Kritikpunkt war die teilweise etwas hektische Organisation. Dennoch empfehlenswert für Naturfreunde.

Great experience

The 5-hour excursion on the pirate ship was a great experience. The view of the whales and dolphins was impressive and the cliffs of Los Gigantes are breathtaking. Lunch on board was delicious and swimming in the bay of Masca was a nice way to cool off. The crew were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded in high season.

Show review in original language

Tolles Erlebnis

Der 5-Stunden-Ausflug auf dem Piratenschiff war ein tolles Erlebnis. Die Sicht auf die Wale und Delfine war beeindruckend, und die Klippen von Los Gigantes sind atemberaubend. Das Mittagessen an Bord war lecker und das Schwimmen in der Bucht von Masca eine schöne Abkühlung. Die Crew war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der einzige Nachteil war, dass es in der Hochsaison etwas voll war.

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.

Show review in original language

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.
