Yacht Cruise

Yacht cruise with dolphin and whale watching

This option is perfect for people who want to see dolphins and whales in a calmer and more intimate atmosphere than on large catamarans. The cruise takes place on a sailing yacht departing from Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, with a maximum of 11 people on board, creating a more relaxed and less crowded experience.

The route follows the southern coast of Tenerife, an area where whales and dolphins are commonly seen throughout the year. This is where pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins are most frequently spotted, and sometimes other species as well. One of the biggest advantages of a sailing yacht is the way it moves through the water — calmer and more natural, which fits perfectly with observing animals in their natural environment.

After the wildlife observation part of the cruise, the yacht heads towards Diego Hernández. There is time for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in a quieter spot. This cruise combines several experiences in one trip: animal watching, coastal views, and simply enjoying time on the ocean without rushing.

Drinks and a sandwich are available on board, so there is no need to organize anything extra. It is a great option for families, couples, and small groups looking for a calmer atmosphere than typical mass cruises.
