Many bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales frequently swim in the waters along Tenerife's Playa de San Juan. Take a close look at these marvellous mammals with this Tenerife Yacht Tour.
Tenerife Yacht Tour
When reserving you can choose a 3 or 4 hour tour. Both routes start and end their journey at the port of the Tenerife town of Playa de San Juan.
3 hour tour
Once on board the yacht will sail along the western coast of Tenerife. The sea currents, wind and certain weather conditions in this part of the Atlantic mean that certain species of cetaceans such as bottlenose dolphins or pilot whales, also known as "pilot whales", live in these waters.
While we're sailing we'll have the opportunity, depending on the state of the sea at that time, to observe some of these specimens swimming closeby. We'll stop at the nearby Cala de Agua Dulce, where you'll have free time to go snorkelling - a perfect opportunity to get to know Tenerife's marine fauna! After this break, we'll return to the starting point.
4 hour tour
On this longer walk we'll sail parallel to the colossal cliffs of Los Gigantes to try and spot the cetaceans that usually swim in these waters. During the trip, we'll also admire the different volcanic formations that extend along the coast.
We'll make a stop on our route by anchoring at Masca beach. You'll have some free time in this cove to enjoy a refreshing swim, sunbathe or try out snorkelling - don't forget your fins and snorkels! From here, the tour will take us back to the port of Playa de San Juan.
Please note
Cetaceans are unpredictable animals. Many different factors beyond the control of humans, such as ocean currents, wind direction or weather conditions, depend on seeing a greater or lesser number of pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins and other marine species.
