Whale and dolphin watching catamaran cruise: Los Gigantes & Masca
About this experience
Enjoy a unique whale and dolphin watching experience. On this 4.5-hour boat excursion, our Royal Delfin catamaran will set sail from Puerto Colón, cruising from Costa Adeje to the breathtaking Los Gigantes cliffs.
Afterwards, we will anchor in Masca Bay, facing the cliffs, where we will stop for a swim and serve a complimentary lunch. Drinks are included throughout the entire journey.
Our catamaran holds the "Blue Boat" certification, authorizing us to conduct sightings, and we are proud members of Tenerife’s Whale Watching Sustainability Charter. Our excursions strictly comply with all responsible tourism standards. Following the regulations set by our certifications, we maintain a minimum distance of 60 meters with a maximum observation time of 30 minutes. We navigate at reduced speeds and always parallel to the animals, never crossing in front of their bow or behind their stern. Furthermore, we avoid overcrowding with other vessels and will leave the area if we notice any changes in the cetaceans' behavior.
The boat is specially designed for enjoyment both above and below the water's surface, as it is the only vessel with underwater viewing windows in Puerto Colón. The lower deck is climate-controlled and offers plenty of space to observe these marine mammals in total comfort.
