Private whale-watching boat charter
Private boat for up to 12 from Marina del Sur (Las Galletas): ~3 h whale watching, swim at Guaza cliffs and tapas on board. From €600.
Description
Private charter of about 3 to 3.5 hours with Tonina Cruises from Marina del Sur marina (Las Galletas, south Tenerife). The boat is for your group only: maximum 12 guests.
After a short briefing at reception, you head about 3 miles offshore looking for whales and other cetaceans. Then you approach the Guaza cliffs (near Los Cristianos) for a swim while the crew prepares local tapas (Spanish omelette, cheeses, guacamole…) and drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, wine). Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available.
The return follows the coast of Punta de Rasca Natural Park. Guiding in Spanish, English and French. You go barefoot on board; if you get seasick, the operator suggests taking medication ahead of time (~20 minutes to work). The plan can change with the weather; sightings are not guaranteed.
