With an expert crew, passionate guides and small groups (10 max), each excursion becomes an opportunity to marvel at marine life. Our approach is to provide knowledge and entertainment always respecting the space of the animals and creating unforgettable memories on each trip. We will meet 15 minutes before each departure in our Pura Vida cabin located in Valle Gran Rey port where you will meet the team that will accompany you on the adventure. To ensure a relaxed and peaceful experience we will give you a safety talk on board the Pura Vida, a traditional fishing boat from Menorquin. During our journey we embark on the exciting mission of searching for whales and dolphins while enjoying the environment and essence of sailing around the charming island of La Gomera. Next while enjoying a delicious picnic on board, we head towards Las Salinas beach where you will have time to relax with a swim and snorkeling. When we return, we leave the coast to finish and return to the collection point.

A magical experience at sea with foundations, dolphins and classical music. The small boat and the small company created a close experience with the amazing creatures of the sea.

Excursion of 10, we saw pilot whales, dolphins and tropical rorquals (stunning), a real experience. Fatima, Carmen and Cuchu are a charmer and strive to look for them while caring for and respecting them.

A beautiful tour on a small boat. So we were very close to the pilot whales. Good explanations, not too much, not too little. What a day: Pura vida.

It has been a wonderful, unique and unrivalled experience, and especially with respect to those majestic animals that live in the sea such as calderones, dolphins and others. Of course it is worth mentioning the calm and exciting journey while we had with the organizers; Carmen and Maria. 2 brave and knowledgeable of the sea, who undoubtedly attended us wonderfully with their good work by circumventing any obstacle that presented us. G R A C I A S BEAUTIFUL.🩵💙💦

It was a great tour! From the cozy boat and in a small group, the pilot whales could be observed great and quite respectfully. A whole family passed us by with complete confidence. After a small picnic, the drive home went along the impressive coast. Fatima showed and explained a lot - a real experience! I can only recommend the tour - thanks to Fatima and Carmen!
