BOAT TOUR

Carrying out this activity in the sea in Tenerife is a very popular experience for visitors to the island, especially in Los Gigantes cliffs, on the west coast of Tenerife, where they can only be admired from the sea.

This place is especially Propitious to see marine fauna.

During the boat trip we will have the possibility of admiring a community of resident dolphins that are regularly seen in the area.

One of the most common dolphin species in the Teno-Rasca marine strip are bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), although during the year we can see spotted (Stenella frontalis) and common (Delphinus delphis) dolphins that come to eat nearby. from the coast when there is food.

Seeing these animals in their natural habitat and their social dynamics is an exciting and unique experience.

The best way to appreciate the immensity and dimensions of the Los Gigantes cliff is, without a doubt, from a boat. On board a small boat it will make you feel like the walls grow as we get closer.

See how seabirds soar through the sky brushing against the basalt walls and we inspect the signs of marine fauna nearby, while you enjoy a snack aboard our 14-meter-long sailboat. To eat we will prepare a delicious snack of tapas on board suitable for vegetarians, you will also have cold drinks (Dorada beer, soft drinks, white wine and water).

We set out from Los Gigantes and sail the Teno-Rasca Marine Strip, the protected area stretching from Punta de Teno to Punta de Rasca off south-western Tenerife. The cliffs here fall sheer into the sea and the bottom drops away fast: there is deep water just minutes from the coast, which is why cetaceans live in this strip all year round.

A trip is not just sailing. When conditions allow, the engine goes off and the sail goes up, and the boat moves in silence. We anchor in a sheltered spot near the coast for swimming and snorkelling, and a picnic with a vegetarian option and cold drinks is served on board. A skipper and a guide are aboard throughout, explaining what you are looking at: the species, the cliffs and why this stretch of sea is protected.

We sail in small groups of up to nine people. Fewer people on board means less noise and more calm, both for those sailing and for the environment around them.
