Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter ved sejlbåd

We were visiting Tenerife from New York for our honeymoon and decided to give this sailing tour a try — it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. We were a little nervous about being on a sailboat in the open ocean, but the crew immediately put us at ease. They were kind, professional, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the boat, the ocean, and the marine life. We were so impressed watching them switch seamlessly between English, Spanish, French, and German throughout the charter. The small group size made the experience feel intimate and personal. We first saw a group of pilot whales, followed by a pod of dolphins. Then we sailed to a stunning swimming spot beneath the Los Gigantes cliffs — deep, crystal‑clear water with a visible reef below us. Back on the boat, we enjoyed lunch and wine, and on the way back to the marina we even spotted a sea turtle. We will book this tour every time we return to Tenerife. Truly unforgettable.

A beautiful small-group outing to discover pilot whales off the coast of Los Gigantes, with a French-speaking team concerned about nature conservation.

Very knowledgeable hosts and beautiful sail boat. Really lovely trip and tasty lunch. Definitely recommend, watching the whales was quite surreal

Great experience in the boat. Jaime and David are super attentives and passionate about what they do. Is really worth it!

Very nice outing, pleasant, adorable crew and very beautiful sailboat

What a fantastic trip! Exactly eight years to the day later, we were back with Third Element this year and had an impressive and unforgettable experience, this time with friends. An experienced, unmistakable crew that still operates with passion, experience, and professional ease. This allowed us to find and experience an entire school of pilot whales as well. We were also lucky enough to be able to sail under the mainsail, how wonderful! You are simply wonderful and unforgettable hosts on your yacht. Thanks for that.

It was a great experience with fewer than 10 people on the boat - we saw whales and dolphins and were able to swim under the magnificent cliff. The staff were all super helpful and friendly - they are knowledgeable and offered drinks, fruit and sandwiches on board. We would highly recommend.

This boat tour was without a doubt the highlight of our entire vacation and is an absolute recommendation for everyone visiting Tenerife. From the very first moment, we felt in the best of hands – the entire team was incredibly warm, professional, and passionate about what they do. What makes this tour special is that it offers far more than a classic whale-watching trip. We were very fortunate to be able to observe pilot whales in their natural environment. The team continuously explained which animals we were seeing, why they were there, and what behaviors – for example, during the mating season – could be observed. You notice immediately that the focus here is not just on tourist entertainment, but on genuine respect for nature. We were particularly impressed by the sustainable approach. It was clearly explained how we humans can contribute to the protection of the oceans and why responsible interaction with marine mammals is so important. This made the tour not only a unique nature experience but also a valuable learning experience. This combination of fascinating animal observations and playful knowledge transfer is excellently suited for families with children. The team was extremely respectful and gentle toward the whales at all times. Great importance was placed on keeping a sufficient distance and not disturbing the animals under any circumstances. It was precisely this consideration that made the experience particularly authentic and sustainable for us. Another big plus is the small group size. This created a relaxed atmosphere; everyone had enough space and was able to observe the animals perfectly. We would also like to highlight that the team spoke fluent German, English, and Spanish. This allowed all guests to follow the fascinating explanations without any problems and to feel comfortable at all times. Everything on board was also perfectly organized. There was a large selection of complimentary drinks, and fresh sandwiches and delicious fruit were served later. To top it all off, we were even able to swim in the ocean. Throughout the entire tour, the team paid close attention to all guests, so we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. We didn't have to worry about anything – just get on board, enjoy, and be amazed. This tour combines nature, education, sustainability, and hospitality at the highest level. For us, it was perfect all around, and we would go out with this great team again anytime. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience, incredible team on board. If you are looking for an intimate moment with few people (-15 people), everything is there!

Beautiful boat. Very friendly staff. And very knowledgeable about the ocean and wildlife as well. Food and drinks is okay. Only the parking is stressful.
