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.

5.00I 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!
Family friendly

5.00We had a an amazing time on this boat was lovely and comfy, we went at 10 am and we dident have a full boat so more room to move about, crew were super lovely, saw loads of whales definitely book th his again was very cheap we just did 2 hrs which was fine for us, you could take drinks and food as I don't think they sold on this trip but we payed 31 euros for 1 adult, 1 teen, 1 child so no complaints

5.00This trip appealed to me because of the ‘no chase whales’ ethic. Loved the wooden boat, fantastic captain and knowledgeable crew….multi lingual! Drinks available on board. Swim stop too! Recommend highly, very good value for money.
