Three hours under sail in a group small enough to fit on one boat. There are no more than 11 people<\/strong> aboard, so nobody queues for a spot at the rail. You watch for whales, then anchor in a cove for a snack and a swim.<\/p>\n

What you do on this trip<\/h2>\n

You leave from Puerto Col\u00f3n and head along the south coast of Tenerife, where the whales stay all year round. The best odds are on pilot whales<\/strong>, resident here and feeding on squid. Larger whales, dolphins and turtles pass through these waters too.<\/p>\n

The second half of the trip is the stop in a cove. The engine goes quiet and you have time for snorkelling, jumping off the boat and swimming. A snack and drinks are waiting on board, so there is nothing to bring beyond a towel.<\/p>\n

The boats we work with have a bathroom, proper seating and a sunbathing deck<\/strong>. There is also space below deck to get out of the sun, which over three hours on the water matters more than you would think.<\/p>\n

Who this is for (and who it is not)<\/h2>\n

It is a good choice if you would rather not sail on a large catamaran with a hundred other people. A small group means a calmer deck, more room at the rail and more freedom once you are in the cove.<\/p>\n

If you want a full-day cruise with lunch, or entertainment laid on for children, this is not it. These are three quiet hours where most of the action happens in the water. And nobody can promise you whales, because they are wild.<\/p>\n

Practical information<\/h2>\n

Trips leave from Puerto Col\u00f3n<\/strong> harbour in Costa Adeje several times a day. The exact time and meeting point come by email with your ticket, within 24 hours of booking. The ticket on your phone is enough.<\/p>\n

Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the start<\/strong> with a 100% refund. Under-18s sail with an accompanying adult. The operator may offer extras on the day, such as photos from the trip, paid separately.<\/p>\n

The same yacht can be hired exclusively as a private charter with a skipper. If you would rather sail with only your own group, write to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
