The complete experience lasts 3 hours, including whale and dolphin watching, sailing along the coast, swimming at Diego Hernández Bay, and enjoying lunch with drinks on board.

The Maxicat is a comfortable, modern catamaran designed for whale watching and leisure cruising. It has sunbathing nets where you can relax, shaded areas for comfort, and plenty of space to move around and enjoy the views.

The short answer is: almost always! The waters off Tenerife’s coast are incredibly rich in marine life, with pilot whales living here permanently and bottlenose dolphins frequently passing through. Sightings happen on the vast majority of trips. That said, we’re dealing with wild creatures in the open ocean, so there’s always a small element of nature’s unpredictability. Our crew has years of experience reading the water and knowing where these animals tend to gather, which really stacks the odds in your favor. Many guests are actually surprised by just how close the encounters can be – these aren’t distant dots on the horizon!

Everything you need for a great day! The tour includes whale and dolphin watching, a delicious Canarian-style paella lunch, unlimited drinks (beer, sangria, soft drinks, and water), swimming stop at Diego Hernández Bay, use of sunbathing nets, professional crew, safety briefing, and insurance. Hotel pickup is included if you select that option.

The catamaran is very stable compared to smaller boats, which helps reduce motion sickness. However, ocean conditions can vary depending on the season. If you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking motion sickness tablets before departure. Our friendly crew is experienced and will help anyone who feels unwell.

Unfortunately, the catamaran is not wheelchair accessible due to the boarding process and boat design. If you have mobility concerns, please contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Our crew follows responsible wildlife watching guidelines, but guests often report seeing whales much closer than expected! The animals sometimes approach the boat on their own, creating magical moments. Your crew will position the catamaran for the best viewing while respecting the animals’ space.
