    Whale watching yacht trip

    An amazing trip, great experience Thankyou so mich

    Great boat trip!

    The boat and captain arrived at the harbour on time and we were straight off. We only had 10 passengers on board but the boat could easily hold 20, so it was nice that they don’t over crowd the boats but instead put passenger enjoyment ahead of profit. We started by going out to sea to spot the dolphins and whales, which we did after a bit of sailing. The driver was very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us information without being overbearing, allowing us to enjoy the spectacle. He also kept his distance from the animals and turned the engines off when we were close - we appreciated this respect of the wildlife. We then headed for the coast to swim in a secluded spot. He provided some snacks and drinks and let us enjoy the time. Overall the tour was the perfect length and we’d recommend it to anyone.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comment and recommendation. The boat's maximum capacity is 10 passengers. We have great respect for animals and the environment and try to minimize our impact to protect them. I'm so glad you enjoyed this wonderful experience and had a great time. I hope to see you again

    Great experience!

    An absolutly great experience! Sturdy boat with enough room to sit anywhere. Captain with experience in the industry, which means he'll bring you close to the animals without disturbing them. He's also great fun to be around in generel. 10/10 would book again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comment and recommendation. It was a pleasure having you on board. I'm so glad you enjoyed this wonderful experience and had a great time. I hope to see you again

    Relaxing outing with...

    Relaxing outing with Francisco who knows the landscape and is an expert in the water. There is time for quiet observation, learning, and experiencing. We enjoyed close up whale encounters, time at the cliffs, and a special lunch with fellow travelers.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure having you on board. I'm so glad you enjoyed this wonderful experience and had a great time. I hope to see you again

    Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.

    How much does Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.

    Is Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 290 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes?

    +

    Around 102 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dolphin and Whale Sailing Tour in Los Gigantes start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tenerife?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tenerife?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tenerife?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
