Sail from Puerto Colon with guides such as Lucy, Danny, and Tony to find resident pilot whales and dolphins near Tenerife’s southwest coast. Choose two hours for wildlife watching or three hours for a Playa Espagueti swim and snorkeling stop. Drinks, equipment, and a sighting guarantee are included.

“Both Dani and Toni (hopefully correct names) were helpful with taking photos and searching for the whales and helping the guests around the boat. They definitely make the trip 10x better. We saw both pilot whales and dolphins. It’s an amazing thing to see them in their natural habitat. Open sea is often choppy so be prepared with sea sick tablets and candles.”

Then we wandered a little further and got to see pilot whales. It was so amazing. The staff and the boat were all great. I would definitely repeat this trip.”
