This cruise takes you off South Tenerife to a protected marine corridor to look for whales and dolphins, then stop to swim or snorkel from the boat.

The Teno-Rasca strip is a protected marine corridor off Tenerife, home to pilot whales and dolphins that travel through its waters year round.

Watch for whales and dolphins from the deck, then, if you like, join the swim or snorkel stop to experience these waters from below the surface.

An English and Spanish-speaking crew hosts the cruise by sailboat or catamaran, and time is built in for a swimming stop.

Ticket options vary by onboard snacks, drinks, a swim & snorkeling stop and hotel pickup from selected South Tenerife areas.

Took my partner for a surprise trip. Only 7 on board, super cozy. Crew is great. Saw dolphins! Would do again.

Took my parents and little bro out on Gran Azor—honestly, suuuper chill day. There were only 6 of us, so it felt like our own boat. Captain Jose is the friendliest guy, keeps the convo flowing but also lets you zone out. My mom was nervous about sea sickness but it was calm the whole time. We saw dolphins (not a promise, but we got lucky!!) and swam off the back. The snacks were simple but fresh—cheese, olives, and some bread. Tip: bring ur own drinks if you want something special. Would 100% do it again, even tho my bro got a bit sunburnt.

Went solo, wasn’t awkward at all. Crew is chatty, everyone was friendly. Boat is small but comfy. Good value.

Set sail on a 3-hour eco-friendly catamaran cruise, spotting whales and dolphins along Tenerife’s south coast.

Getting Started

You will be picked up from your accommodation in South Tenerife and driven to Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. After check-in, board the modern catamaran and receive a short briefing from the crew on safety, wildlife behavior, and the planned route. Settle into shaded or open seating areas as the vessel departs the harbor and heads toward the Teno-Rasca protected marine area.

What to Expect

Your cruise explores one of the richest marine zones in the Canary Islands, known for its stable populations of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins. The crew offers real-time commentary about species behavior, migration patterns, and conservation efforts. The catamaran follows a steady route along the coastline, giving you clear views of volcanic cliffs, open ocean, and coastal rock formations.
