Join a respectful whale-watching cruise from Costa Adeje aboard a classic wooden boat, sailing along Tenerife’s coast in search of whales and dolphins in their natural habitat.

This experience is designed to be calm, responsible, and nature-focused. Our crew follows ethical viewing practices at all times, observing marine life at a safe distance and prioritizing animal welfare throughout the tour.

As you sail, enjoy informative commentary about the species you may encounter, their behaviour, and the conservation efforts that help protect Tenerife’s marine environment.

Towards the end of the excursion, the tour finishes with a relaxed swimming stop near the coast, offering a refreshing dip in the Atlantic before returning to the harbour. This stop is optional and takes place only if sea and weather conditions allow, always at the captain’s discretion.

Ideal for couples, families, and travellers seeking a peaceful and responsible way to experience Tenerife’s marine wildlife.

It was a great trip. With humor and respect for the animals. We've seen a lot of pilot whales. We drove on again, so that we did not disturb them for too long. A great adventure with a great crew!

An amazing experience. The guide, Israel, gave the children an educational talk about cetaceans full of curiosities while watching them on the high seas, showing at all times his empathy with them and his ability to motivate them in respect for our natural environment. We were a group of 48 Primary 5 children and have been delighted with the privilege of being able to enjoy these animals in freedom from so close. Thank you very much to all the boat staff for their great professionalism and kindness to us.

I really enjoyed the experience! I have to emphasize that it would not have been the same without the animator, Izy, who welcomed us from the beginning with a smile and many jokes!! Izy defends himself incredibly well in several languages and gave us interesting facts while making us laugh. Your energy captivated the whole ship! We couldn't see whales, but we saw sharks. Bottom line: many companies offer this service and clearly differentiate the brand the animator. Thank you for a wonderful morning Izy, do not lose that energy! I recommend it for sure!
