Small Group Dolphin Sunset Tour on Electric Catamaran Lanzarote
Description
Experience an eco-friendly and serene sunset tour by joining us on the first fully electric and noise-free catamaran in the Canary Islands. Not only will you revel in the stunning scenery, but also discover fascinating insights about the whales and dolphins that inhabit Lanzarote and the Canary Islands. To reduce our environmental footprint, we offer special drinks like our OceanBeer and local fruit juices, along with plastic-free water and other organic non-alcoholic beverages. With the help of our hydrophone, we may even be able to listen to the enchanting sounds of dolphins and whales if we're fortunate enough to come across them.

Itinerary
During our sunset experience, we embark from Puerto Calero with a small group of maximum 12 guests on board. As you relax on our spacious 108 m2 deck, you'll have the opportunity to witness one of the most stunning sunsets on the island while indulging in an "OceanBeer," a local white wine, or non-alcoholic alternatives, along with some delicious snacks. Our knowledgeable crew will provide fascinating insights into cetaceans, the various species found in the Canary Islands. With a stroke of luck, we may even encounter dolphins in a special area where they typically gather for their evening meal. The sunset tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours and is available year-round. Departing from Puerto Calero, specifically Dock F22, we will cruise along the coast, offering picturesque views of notable sites like Playa Quemada and the majestic mountains of Femés.

We had a beautiful trip along the coast with Gonzales and Sylvia - who were both great at explaining the species and all about the Catalan itself. Sadly we didn’t see any dolphins or whales, but the trip was still wonderful, calm, peaceful and a chance to see the island from another view. Thanks!
This trip was cancelled. Money not received back despite an email from the organizer. We still hope for the refund!!
Ss your booking and payment were made through Viator/Tripadvisor, the refund process is handled entirely by their platform. We cancelled the tour and notified Viator accordingly, but we are unfortunately unable to process refunds for bookings made through them. We kindly ask that you direct your review and refund request to Viator/Tripadvisor, as they are responsible for processing your payment and issuing your refund.
In stronger winds, it is difficult to see dolphins or whales, especially when you cannot go out very far and because you cannot easily spot the fins and spouts, so the trip should not take place at all or you should at least be informed about it. The trip took place anyway. So just an ordinary boat trip on an aging catamaran.
Wir möchten deiner Einschätzung widersprechen. Unsere Touren werden ausschließlich abgesagt, wenn die Wetter- oder Seebedingungen ein sicheres Auslaufen nicht zulassen. Am Tag deiner Tour war dies nicht der Fall. Es stimmt, dass Wind die Sichtung von Walen und Delfinen erschweren kann. Er macht sie jedoch keineswegs unmöglich. Tatsächlich gelingen uns auch bei vergleichbaren oder sogar stärkeren Windverhältnissen regelmäßig erfolgreiche Sichtungen. Es tut uns leid, dass ihr während eurer Tour keine Wale oder Delfine gesehen habt. Da wir ausschließlich Wildtiere in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum beobachten, können Sichtungen leider niemals garantiert werden.
Being able to encounter dolphins in a respectful manner was magical! Thank you for this wonderful moment, the warm welcome, and the explanations about whales and dolphins. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins, and we equally enjoyed the pleasure of sailing on a catamaran (which was a first for us).
A beautiful and relaxing excursion with a great tour guide. Unfortunately, we did not see any dolphins or whales, but we still enjoyed it very much. We would book it again at any time.
Superb boat ride respectful of animals, with the bonus of seeing dolphins and a whale!
Would have enjoyed the trip, even without seeing the wildlife. We were very lucky and saw dolphins, a whale and even a shark. Loads of space on the catamaran gave everyone plenty of space, not cramped at all, unlike the other boats we saw. Didn't need a jacket, but easy storage for backpack with jacket was very useful. Our hosts were excellent, thank you 😊
Unbelievable, myself and my fiance (Leon and Abbey) decided to book an excursion on our final night with WeWhale. From the start Gonzalo and his team couldn’t have been more clear/helpful regarding the activity with meet times and locations. When arriving at the boat they were extremely welcoming, gave us a great briefing of the trip and explained that ours and the animal welfare is priority, and they can’t guarantee any sightings - this set our expectations and made us feel at ease straight away. As we left the port he made us feel involved by showing us what signs to look for when spotting dolphins/whales and also sharing his personal binoculars with us and other participants, rather than it being a boring sail around a body of water, this made us feel part of the team. We were fortunate enough on our trip to see the dolphins, with our encounter he was incredibly respectful towards the group of dolphins and seeing his and his crews passion for the mammals emphasised we’d booked with the right team. He spent plenty of time educating us on the marine life and his past experiences (showing photos/videos/research)… I could spend hours talking about our experience and how amazing it was, but I think it would be best for you to experience this yourself at a bargain of a price. Thank you again Gonzalo and the team, we admire your dedication and passion. This truly topped of our holiday.
Amazing experience, seeing Dolphins in the Atlantic, Gonzalaz and Sylvia were very informative and brilliant hosts. I recommend no alcohol on this trip,as seriously it is not needed.
Lovely trip - even though we saw no whales and dolphins. A little disappointing but the views, experience, and the lovely crew still made it a great tour. Thank you
