Embark on the ultimate adventure in the south of Tenerife. Sail on a catamaran to discover whales and dolphins, contemplate the majestic cliffs of Los Gigantes, and relax with a swim in the exclusive bay of Masca.


In Detail

Enjoy one of the most spectacular excursions in Tenerife: a 4.5-hour catamaran to Los Gigantes and Masca along the southwest coast of the island. We will set sail from Puerto Colón towards the impressive cliffs of Los Gigantes and the Masca ravine, where we will make a stop to swim, sunbathe, and relax in the sea.

Our expert guides will explain curiosities about resident species, such as the bottlenose dolphin and the pilot whale. Whale watching is done in a respectful and sustainable way: as we approach, the engines are stopped so as not to interfere with their natural activity in the ocean.

On board you will enjoy all the comforts: large bow nets for sunbathing, shaded areas, and restrooms. In addition, lunch is included (with vegetarian and gluten-free options upon prior request), along with unlimited drinks during the entire trip (water, soft drinks, beer, and sangria).

⏱️ Do you prefer a shorter excursion?If you are traveling with very young children or have a tight schedule, we have our 3-hour Catamaran Route along the south coast. The same magic in less time!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will we get to see the Los Gigantes Cliffs up close?

Yes, this 4.5-hour route is specifically designed to sail to the base of the colossal Los Gigantes Cliffs, offering breathtaking views that are not achieved on the shorter routes.

Where does the boat anchor for swimming?

We generally anchor in the spectacular Masca Bay, a privileged natural environment with crystal-clear waters at the foot of the cliff.

What food is served on board?

The included lunch usually consists of paella, rice with vegetables, chicken, or meatballs (may vary). We offer options adapted to vegetarians, vegans, or celiacs if you notify us in advance in your booking.

Can I bring my own snorkeling equipment?

Of course! In fact, we recommend it. Due to health protocols, the boat does not lend snorkels, so bringing your own is the best option.

If I get seasick, is there medication on board?

By law, the crew cannot provide medication. If you are prone to seasickness, we highly recommend buying Biodramina at a pharmacy and taking it 30 minutes before boarding the boat.
