ON AN EXCURSION TO THE
DOLPHINS AND
WHALES (4.5 hours)
When visiting Tenerife, sailing to see the
dolphins and whales is a definite must. Unfortunately,
the number of available places aboard is just not
sufficient for the great number of
tourists who don’t want to miss this fantastic
show.
Reserve in advance is not an exaggerated piece of
advice.
 The
Tropical Delfin, officially recognised by the
Tenerife Town Council, is a
modern glass bottom catamaran. It provides the most optimal means for
tourists to enjoy the dolphins and whales in the
ocean waters surrounding
Tenerife. Certified English speaking guides accompany you on the
boat
trip.
The fantastic advantage of this boat is that passengers
can walk around
the spacious sun decks undisturbed! Whales and dolphins of
all type swim
constantly
 under and around the boat. That is why the
Tropical Delfin is
equipped with large underwater areas where one can imagine being in a
giant aquarium. Underwater cameras keep track of
everything for those who prefer to observe the
show from the upper deck.
On board the Tropical Delfin, you can
enjoy the radiating calmness of the ocean and the
pleasant climate of the Canary Islands. The
 round trip
is nearly 5 hours. The highlight of course is
watching the whales, porpoises and the playful dolphins that
show up for the rendezvous nearly every day.
Afterwards
the Tropical Delfin anchors in the Bay of Masca under
the awesome cliffs of the Teno-mountains. Here
you can swim amidst
the multitude of colourful fish. On
board a buffet l unch
is served along with free
drinks like wine, beer or
lemonade.
The trip back to Puerto Cólon
(Playa las Americas) takes you along the
cliffs,
a spectacular view. Further on
the Tropical Delfin follows the coastline sailing past many
holiday spots such as Los Gigantes,
Puerto Santiago, Playa de la Arena, San Juan,
Callao Salvaje and Playa Paraiso. With the wind
in your hair and a wonderful sun you can
forget all your worries!
When visiting Tenerife,
this unforgettable boat trip should definitely not be
missed.
