Sail from Puerto Los Cristianos aboard the Bahriyeli, a spacious ketch with open decks and an indoor salon.

“Lovely trip, we saw dolphins, whales and even turtles. So surprised to see so many and so up close but there was no chasing whatsoever. It was peaceful, calm and respectful. The guides were very informative. Just get there early because it was super busy and a little difficult for later arrivals to sit their whole group together.”
