Soft drinks and water are included in the excursion, we also have some alcoholic drinks and some snacks that can be purchased at the boat bar.

What To Expect
La Palma
Enjoy 2.5 hours of navigation and adventure near the coast of La Palma, meeting whales, dolphins, turtles, birds and other marine animals that want to share some time with us and let themselves be photographed. When it's over, it will be an unforgettable experience. Having had the dolphins so close, or seeing a pod of pilot whales in the underwater vision, or listening to the blow of a whale in the distance and getting closer until it comes out again to breathe... Live it from beginning to end. Each time is different and magical. You will want to repeat. Dolphins, whales and other inhabitants of the sea are marine animals, whose home we visit. Although we try to ensure that you enjoy sightings on all our outings, they are sovereign and decide whether or not they want to meet us. At the end of the route we will approach half a mile from the lava flows of the Cumbre Vieja volcano to explain some of the details and anecdotes that this natural phenomenon has left us.

5.00A safari that we will never forget, wonderful, exciting, novel and accompanied by a crew of professionals with a treatment worth mentioning. Top of the holidays in La Palma.
Recommended route.

4.00Highly recommended route through areas of the island inaccessible by foot or car: Tajogaite volcano strains on the coast, Cueva Bonita, Porís de Candelaria from the sea... As for the sighting, we had no luck: flying fish, a fleeting turtle and shark... The sea and its animals are not mathematics. Kids like Fabrizio and Captain David, very nice and dedicated.

4.00Very good guidance of a palmess in excellent German. Informative and interesting insights into the 7 new craters. We were lucky to have a clear view that day and not to hang in a cloud (as is so common this year).
Worthwhile tour

5.00Interesting experience! The tour lasts about 2.5 hours, first you drive along the coast and see some spots worth photographing (a grotto, Cueva Candelaria...), about which you also get information. After that we could see dolphins, later also short-finned pilot whales. The crew is very dedicated to delivering the promised dolphins and whales. The highlight is definitely the lower deck with stained glass windows from which you can watch the animals underwater - was not our first dolphin safari, but this experience has not yet been able to deliver a boat. Highly recommended! Quick note - only drinks are included, there was no food.

5.00Lovely and the crew didn't stop until they found whales for us to see in their natural habitat. One pass and I recommend it to everyone to come to the Palma, mandatory!
The best side trip

5.00Great. Very attentive staff always giving explanations with great interest. We loved seeing the cliffs, the Porís de Candelaria, the Veta beach and entering the beautiful cave. Unforgettable. But the best thing was to see the dolphins, flying fish and a family of calderones. Out of 10.
