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.

It was a great boat trip. Fatima explained everything in advance and the boat was carefully steered over the sea. When animals were sighted, the engine was turned off and classical music played, the animals seem to like that, because they came close to our boat. The tour is very respectful of the animals. We also liked the small group. We can absolutely recommend the tour! Thank you very much for the nice day.

Highly recommended! Whalewatching can't be more beautiful on La Gomera, we love this beautiful island and have already done a tour with another, bigger boat a few years ago. Carmen with her Pura Vida supported by Fatima does whalewatching with passion, if you go on a tour, please this, it is worth it!!!

Great seats, good visibility, great crew! Dolphins and pilot whales seen after a long drive and expert search. The dolphins come to the boat and swim with them. Very impressive experience

Fabulous day on the Pura Vida. Crew were so friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated. They went above and beyond to find the dolphins and whales and it was so worth it to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. Boat was spotless and we enjoyed the snacks and drinks on the journey home too. Loved being on this smaller sized boat as all felt much more intimate and friendly and got really close to the dolphins and whales. Great close up view of the spectacular coastline on the return journey too. Thank you. Trip was well worth the money.
