Activities offered by boat excursions in Tenerife
The first reason to hire a boat in Tenerife is that you will see places that can only be reached by boat. An example of this is the Bay of Masca, one of Tenerife’s must-see places and attractions.
Our boat trips in Tenerife South will take you to the places where you can see cetaceans. It is a marvel. Enjoy watching them come and do pirouettes in the water.
You can also fish, sunbathe, relax, swim and snorkel. The wonderful thing about the island of eternal spring is that there is good weather all year round. Enjoy Tenerife from January to December. You will always find favourable weather.
If you are going on excursions in Tenerife with children don’t forget to take them on a boat trip in the bay. From experience we know that children enjoy the trip the most.
Below we will describe everything you can do and enjoy during the boat trips in Tenerife.
Whale and Dolphin Watching
Whale and dolphin watching by boat is one of the most popular activities in Tenerife. The most common species that can be sighted during sea excursions in Tenerife are bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales. But other known species of cetaceans have also been sighted, as Tenerife is an intermediate point in their annual migratory routes.
Some of these incredible animals live permanently in the waters around Tenerife. That is why we can say that 99% of our bay tours are capable of a successful whale or dolphin watching experience.
With some of our boat trips in Tenerife, you will be able to see AND hear the whales and dolphins as well.
Booking a boat excursion in Tenerife is truly a great experience to see these amazing animals in their natural environment. We can assure you that this experience will be full of delight for adults and children alike. Whales and dolphins are very sociable and curious, so you will be able to see them playing very close to the boat.
We recommend that you book whale and dolphin watching excursions in Tenerife for 2 or 3 hours to see or hear whales and dolphins. Here is a quick list of our 3 most popular boat trips in Tenerife for this purpose:
- 3 hours boat trip with the catamaran Eden
- 3 hours boat trip with Freebird
- 3 hours boat trip with Maxicat
In addition with the 3 hour boat trips you can swim and/or snorkel off the coast of La Caleta or in the bay of Puertito de Adeje.
Visit the Cliffs of Los Gigantes
This is one of the most popular activities in Tenerife. It is also a good reason why you should take a boat trip in Tenerife. We are talking about the gigantic cliffs of Los Gigantes. This huge volcanic formation of basaltic rock reaches heights of up to 500 metres above sea level at some points. These cliffs were known by the pre-Hispanic inhabitants as the “Wall of Hell”.
The cliffs will not leave you indifferent, they will make you feel the power of Mother Nature.
To see the giant cliffs of Tenerife you can take a shared boat trip of 4.5 hours or longer. Boat trips in Tenerife to visit the cliffs:

Masca Bay
Enjoy a majestic adventure in a natural environment far away from the city. Our boat trips in Tenerife take you to Masca Bay, which lies right in the middle of the cliffs of Los Gigantes.
Legends say that the bay was once used by pirates as a refuge. We usually anchor here for swimming, snorkelling and serving lunch during our tours of Los Gigantes.

Catamaran trips in Tenerife
