Southwest Tenerife: A Paradise for Whale and Dolphin Watching
08/10/2025
Des plans
The southwest coast of Tenerife is one of the best places in Europe to observe cetaceans in the wild. Thanks to its stable climate, calm waters, and rich marine biodiversity, this area has become an international hotspot for sea enthusiasts.
From ports such as Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón, or Los Gigantes, numerous daily boat excursions set sail with a common goal: to encounter dolphins, tropical pilot whales, and even whales traversing the Atlantic. The variety of options—from short, affordable trips to private luxury experiences—ensures every traveler finds the perfect way to enjoy this unique adventure.
Sail in Search of Cetaceans: Abama Hotels’ Maritime Adventure in Tenerife
At Abama Hotels, this experience reaches a whole new level with its exclusive Sail in Search of Cetaceans package, designed for guests to fully enjoy the sea, combining adventure, nature, and comfort.
The adventure begins at Playa San Juan or Puerto Colón, strategic points in southwest Tenerife from where guests set sail in search of dolphins, tropical pilot whales, and occasionally sperm whales. Due to Tenerife’s location along one of the migratory routes of these cetaceans, the chances of sightings are very high, and the surrounding landscapes make the experience even more unforgettable.
During the journey, a private expert guide accompanies the guests, explaining animal behavior, the areas where they are usually found, and interesting facts about their biology and ecosystem. This way, the activity combines the excitement of encountering marine life with an educational component that deepens knowledge of Tenerife’s natural wealth.
Two Ways to Enjoy the Experience
Abama Hotels offers the excursion in two formats, adapting to the preferences of each guest:
Group: Sharing the boat with 8-10 other people, ideal for those who want to socialize while enjoying the ocean. The price ranges from €60 to €75 per adult, with children paying around half the cost.
Private: An exclusive option for those seeking maximum comfort and privacy. Prices range from €400 to €600, depending on the number of participants, and guarantee a more personalized experience.
In both options, guests are provided with snacks and drinks on board, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere throughout the trip.
Snorkeling and Immersion in Nature
The Abama Hotels package also includes open-sea snorkeling, an ideal activity for safely exploring Tenerife’s underwater world. Equipped with masks, snorkels, and fins, participants can swim among colorful fish and volcanic formations, combining adrenaline with a deep connection to nature.
Snorkeling adds extra value to the excursion, as it’s not just about observing cetaceans from the surface but immersing oneself in the ocean and feeling the energy of the Atlantic while interacting with its biodiversity. This combination of sightings and marine exploration makes the experience complete and unique.
Commitment to Sustainability and Marine Protection
Abama Hotels maintains a strong commitment to sustainability and marine ecosystem conservation. The group actively supports the protection of the Teno-Rasca Marine Strip, one of the most important cetacean habitats in the Atlantic. Each year, the hotel donates funds for its conservation and works exclusively with companies certified under the Blue Boat flag, ensuring responsible tourism that respects marine biodiversity.
Additionally, Abama Hotels has launched the underwater photography book Abama Blue Ocean, celebrating the ocean’s beauty, with all proceeds going to Tonina and Pelagic Life Canarias, both dedicated to marine life research and conservation.
Thanks to these initiatives, the cetacean-watching experience becomes not only a leisure activity but also a way to contribute directly to ocean and wildlife protection.
A Perfect Plan for Everyone
The Sail in Search of Cetaceans excursion is suitable for families, couples, or groups of friends seeking to enjoy Tenerife’s sea and nature. The combination of boat navigation, the option to snorkel, and expert guide support makes the activity safe, educational, and thrilling at the same time.
Moreover, this plan allows guests to capture unforgettable moments, as encounters with dolphins and whales are natural spectacles that stay in everyone’s memory. For photography enthusiasts, it is a unique opportunity to capture images of marine life and Tenerife’s coastal landscapes from a privileged perspective.
