Sail from Puerto Los Cristianos aboard the Bahriyeli, a spacious ketch with open decks and an indoor salon. Certified guides explain pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and the local ecosystem in Spanish, English, French, German, and Italian. The strict no-chase rule means no swimming stop, but it gives marine life the time and space to approach naturally.

“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.”

“Amazing value for money and we came within 5 metres of several whales, including one with their calf. It clouded over while we were out so it got a bit cool (it was February) so I’d recommend packing a jumper or jacket. But I wasn’t cold. There’s also a stop for swimming (or jumping in and quickly out of the Atlantic) so pack a towel and wear swimming stuff if you fancy it.”
