Description
A whale watching trip in Tenerife with Los Gigantes and Masca
If you are looking for more than a standard whale watching tour, this experience is designed for those who want to enjoy the sea at a slower pace, with comfort, attention to detail and a more exclusive atmosphere on board. You will sail through one of the best areas in Europe for spotting cetaceans in the wild.
During the trip, it is common to see pilot whales, dolphins, sea turtles and seabirds in a truly privileged natural setting. The experience combines respectful wildlife watching with the comfort of a carefully planned small-group boat trip.
After the whale watching part of the tour, we head towards the impressive Los Gigantes Cliffs, one of Tenerife’s most spectacular coastal landmarks. From there, we continue to the beautiful Masca Bay, a wild and secluded spot that can only be reached by boat or on foot.
Here, we drop anchor so you can swim, go snorkelling or simply relax on board while our crew prepares food and drinks for you. On the way back, we sail along the coast and finish the experience with a sweet treat on board.
