Tenerife : Whales and Dolphins with Food and Bath in Los Gigantes
Description
Depart from Puerto Colón, Costa Adeje, for a 5-hour excursion looking for whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. During sailing you will travel along the southwest coast of Tenerife, one of the areas where it is most common to observe tropical calderones and bottlenose dolphins, always following responsible sighting practices. The excursion continues to the Los Gigantes area, where we will stop to swim and enjoy the marine environment before continuing the crossing.

Relax and enjoy the ocean views as the wooden boat returns to Puerto Colon.

Itinerary
We will set sail from Puerto Colón towards the cliffs of the giants, during this part of the tour will be the sighting of cetaceans. Always accompanied by the expert crew who will help you find the cetaceans and tell you curiosities about them and marine life. Although Tenerife is one of the best places in the world to make the sighting, this is not guaranteed 100%.
Next, we will anchor next to the imposing cliffs of Los Gigantes, which rise 600 meters above sea level. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in crystal clear waters. Back on board, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, accompanied by wine, beer and soft drinks.
After having enjoyed the bath and food by the cliffs we will return to Puerto Colón. During this part of the crossing you can enjoy the southwest coast of Tenerife that together with the guide you can know better and learn details of the island

This was a great trip not only did we see both dolphins and whales which was a bonus.But the whole trip was great the boat was called shogun and was very comfortable good music good food and a wonderful crew
Thank you very much for your lovely review 😊 We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the whole experience on board the Shogun. Spotting both dolphins and whales always makes the trip even more special 🐬🐋 It’s also great to know that you enjoyed the comfort of the boat, the music, the food and especially our crew. Creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere for our guests is very important to us. Thank you for choosing us and we hope to welcome you back again soon in Tenerife!
The weather was dusty of the sand from Africa and visibility was not very good. The ride out to the ocean was far from smooth and got some passengers seasick, but despide that, we got to see a big dolphine pod. Unfortunately, pilot whales were out of sight. There were also some groups of flying fishes to see. It was an enjoyable tour and best is to see the animals in nature instead of being in captivity!
Thank you for sharing your experience on board the Shogun. We’re glad to hear that despite the hazy weather conditions you were still able to see a large pod of dolphins and even flying fish. Sea conditions and visibility can sometimes vary due to natural factors like the sand from Africa, but we’re happy you still enjoyed the trip and the chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.
It was a nice day aboard the Shogun ship. We saw many whales and dolphins, the stop in Masca the best of the trip, plus we ate on board. Repeat without a doubt
Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó del día a bordo del Shogun y que pudo ver muchas ballenas y delfines. La parada en Masca es sin duda uno de los momentos más especiales del viaje. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer una experiencia cómoda, con espacio suficiente a bordo, no masificada, con una tripulación amable y un enfoque respetuoso con la vida marina. Un cordial saludo,
Excursion very complete, we have seen pilot whales and dolphins. The stop for swimming and eating in the setting of the cliff of Los Gigantes, wonderful.
Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la excursión y que pudo ver calderones y delfines. La parada para nadar y comer frente a los Acantilados de Los Gigantes es siempre un momento especial. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer una experiencia cómoda, con espacio suficiente a bordo, no masificada, con una tripulación amable y un enfoque respetuoso con la vida marina.
2/5 because although there is deception about the performance, we saw a family of whales and dolphins. We have never been to los gigantes, let alone Masca Bay. The shogun sails with the engine going back and forth between costa adeje and los cristianos and the swimming stop was made in front of the beach of los cristianos. The crew is, however, very nice The meal is very arbitrary
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We´re glad to hear you were able to see whales & dolphins during your excursion, but we´re sorry other aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. On the day of your trip, the weather and sea conditions were unfortunately not ideal, and for safety reasons our route had to be adjusted. This meant we were unable to travel as far as Los Gigantes as originally planned. We understand how disappointing this can be, especially if you were looking forward to visiting Los Gigantes. We appreciate your kind words about our crew and that they made a positive impression. Your feedback is valuable and we hope to welcome you back in better conditions.
