What you'll see and do
Playa De Las Americas
Your journey begins at the harbour of Los Cristianos, where you'll have the chance to meet the Vikings and take memorable photos before setting sail (its optional). As we cruise out to sea, keep your eyes peeled for whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. Our experienced Viking crew will guide you through this magical experience, sharing fascinating facts about the marine life — all while respecting and protecting the environment. After approximately 30–40 minutes of sailing and wildlife watching, it's time for a refreshing swim in the open ocean, surrounded by breathtaking views of Tenerife’s coastline. On clear days, you can even spot the iconic peak of Mount Teide towering in the distance. Throughout the cruise, enjoy unlimited drinks including wine, beer, and soft drinks. On board, the fun continues with authentic Viking games and entertainment for all ages. After three hours of excitement, relaxation, and fun, we return to where it all began — the harbour of Los Cristianos.

Probably one of the best boat trips ive done
This was a good boat trip, serving yourself with the drinks on tap and bottles of water. Seen pilot whales up really close to the boat and dolphins around the fish farms. Swimming was the usual 15 minutes and a show with the tour guide, sorry im bad with names but he was really a good laugh. For the money, it was well worth the 3 hours.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop 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 Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 700 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop?
+
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 Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop 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 Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop?
+
Around 245 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 Tenerife Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop 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, Teide Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour with Hotel Pickup & Return, 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.
