The channel between Tenerife and La Gomera is one of the world's premier cetacean corridors — home to resident pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins year-round. A private luxury catamaran delivers an intimate encounter that feels like the ocean belongs to you.
What to expect
You depart from the sheltered marina, heading into the deep blue channel where pilot whales are spotted on the vast majority of trips. The crew are marine-biology trained and maintain respectful distances in line with Canarian law. Dolphins frequently bow-ride alongside the hull. Between sightings there is time to snorkel over volcanic rock gardens or simply recline on the deck with a chilled glass of wine as Teide rises behind you.
Good to know
Los Cristianos is approximately 1 h from Santa Cruz port by taxi or car — factor this into your day. Half-day charters (3–4 h on the water) comfortably fit most port schedules. Book the charter at least 2–3 weeks ahead. Confirm all-aboard time with your charter captain before departure.
