Tenerife South: Private Sailboat Charter & Snorkeling, Max 7You get a private sailboat for up to seven people in Tenerife South, with a crew that speaks three languages and knows the local waters. Lunch and snorkeling gear are included; you choose the stops and the pace. The boat is small enough to feel intimate and large enough to bring everyone who matters, which is what makes a day on the water feel like your own instead of a tour.Is it for me?Book this if you want a day on the water in Tenerife South without the logistics of arranging transport, food, and snorkeling gear separately, and without sharing the boat with a crowd — the small group size and included lunch mean you're free to relax instead of manage.
Tenerife: Private Catamaran Charter & Snorkeling with Hotel PickupYou board a private catamaran at Puerto Colón with your group and help decide the route as the crew takes you toward dolphins and whales. Lunch, drinks, and snorkeling gear are included; you swim or stay on deck as you prefer. Hotel pickup and drop-off mean you don't arrange transport, and three hours on the water leaves you back on land by early afternoon.Is it for me?Ideal if your group wants a private boat without arranging transport or buying snorkeling gear separately—the three-hour window and included pickup fit tight schedules, and deciding your own route means you're not locked into a fixed itinerary.
Private Yacht Charter Tenerife: Food, Drinks & Dolphin WatchingYou’ll get your own yacht with friendly crew, plenty of snacks and drinks, plus time to swim or snorkel off Tenerife’s sunny coast—and maybe spot dolphins or whales too. Great for marking any big moment or just treating yourself to something different.
2 to 5 hours (7)
Tenerife: Whale & Dolphin Watching Sailboat Tour with SnorkelingYou’ll join a small group on a sailboat from Puerto Colón to spot whales and dolphins off Tenerife’s coast, guided by locals who know every ripple of these waters. Swim or snorkel in La Caleta’s crystal bay, enjoy snacks and drinks on board, and let yourself drift into island time before heading back ashore.
Snorkel & Dolphin Watching Tenerife: Small Group SailboatYou board a sailboat at Puerto Colón and spend the day watching for whales and dolphins in waters where sightings are common. Breakfast and snacks are included, snorkeling gear is available, and the crew of 20-year veterans navigates you to the best spots. Small groups mean you're not crowded, and the boat's designed for comfort rather than just capacity, so you can actually relax while you're looking.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see whales and dolphins without renting a boat or researching where they actually are — the crew knows the waters and the small group means you're not jostling for space with 50 other people.
Dolphin & Whale Watching Tenerife: Small Sailboat, 3 HoursYou sail a small sailboat off Los Gigantes with a local skipper, snorkel in protected coves with gear provided, and watch for dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. The group stays under ten people, snacks and drinks are on board, and the whole outing takes three hours — long enough to disconnect, short enough to fit the rest of your day.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to see marine life off Tenerife without the crowds of a big-group boat tour — the small size and protected route are what make close sightings possible. Plan for a morning or afternoon out; the three-hour window is short enough to pair with other plans, long enough to disconnect and snorkel.
Tenerife: Whale & Dolphin Watching Yacht Tour Small GroupYou’ll join a small group aboard an Italian-style yacht off southern Tenerife for whale and dolphin watching with marine guides who really know these waters. Expect close-up moments with wildlife (if they’re feeling social), fresh fruit and cold drinks on deck, plus a chance to help collect ocean litter as you go — it’s laid-back but unexpectedly moving.
Tenerife Yacht Cruise: Champagne, Tapas & Sea ScootersYou’ll step aboard a small-group yacht in Tenerife with local crew welcoming you with champagne. Enjoy Spanish tapas as you sail past Playa del Duque, try paddleboarding or sea scooters if you’re feeling adventurous—or just relax on deck with all-inclusive drinks. It’s easygoing but special, with pickup included so you don’t have to think about logistics—just soak up those Atlantic views.
Canary Islands: Whale & Dolphin Yacht Tour with TapasYou’ll set out from Las Galletas on a luxury yacht with a local crew for wild whale and dolphin watching off Tenerife’s coast. Watch dolphins play close by, listen to stories from your guide, swim or snorkel in clear bays near Los Cristianos, and share Spanish tapas with new friends before heading back — it’s an experience that lingers long after you’re dry.
Tenerife Yacht Tour: Whale Watching & Snorkeling with DrinksIf you’re after real wildlife moments and easygoing sailing with just a handful of people, this Tenerife yacht tour is for you. Watch dolphins and whales up close, swim in quiet coves, and snack on local treats—all with plenty of space to relax.
