    Really enjoyed it

    Had a really enjoyable afternoon off the coast of Los Gigantes and saw some whales and flying fish. Staff/crew were welcoming, friendly and knowledgable. Really enjoyed it.

    Exceeded Expecations

    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.

    Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 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 Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat 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 Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 660 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat?

    +

    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 Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat 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 Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat?

    +

    Around 231 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 Los Gigantes Whale Watching Charter by Sail Boat 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, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. 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.

Not included: Towels; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Gratuities (optional); and Souvenir photos or professional photography. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
