Join Salvador and his crew aboard the 12-meter Roulette for a three-hour sail from Puerto Colón. Watch for pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and seabirds, then swim and snorkel in a sheltered bay. Your small group receives drinks, sandwiches, snacks, and dessert.

“We had a great time! A beautiful trip with a warm and caring crew who knew a lot about the animals living in and around the sea of Tenerife. Also respected the animals and the area they live in. We saw pilot whales, red fin tuna, dolphins and tried to find a big whale that was seen in the area the day before. We didn’t spot the last one, but the rest of the animals that we have seen during the trip were more than enough to make it an unforgettable one!”
