Step aboard the traditional Peter Pan boat in Los Cristianos and enjoy a respectful whale and dolphin watching cruise along Tenerife’s stunning south coast.

With a maximum of 60 passengers on board, this tour offers more space and a more comfortable experience than many crowded whale watching excursions.

During the 2-hour cruise, our multilingual guide will share fascinating insights about Tenerife’s marine wildlife, local cetacean population, and coastline.

Weather and sea conditions permitting, we will make a short swimming stop of approximately 15 minutes in a beautiful coastal area.
