Watch pilot whales and dolphins from a small catamaran off Tenerife, with hotel transfer, tapas, drinks, swimming, and coastal views.
“They picked us up at our hotel which is very kind. Were there 30 min early so had to wait. We were with 20 people including children. The catamaran is big enough. Mostly seating areas no real suntanning areas on the catamaran. Main goal is spotting pilot whales which we manage to find and also upclose which really made this trip worth it.
