Getting from Los Cristianos to Puerto Colón

Puerto Colón is about 10 minutes by car or taxi from the centre of Los Cristianos, past Playa de las Américas. The easiest option is our pick-up service: our van collects you from your hotel and brings you back after the trip.

Pick-up between Los Cristianos and Playa Paraíso costs from €10 per person for up to 8 guests, paid to the driver. Ask about pick-up.

Why sail with us instead of a big boat from the harbour

A small group. On our yachts there are never more than 11 guests, so everyone gets a place at the rail and time to talk to the crew.

Under sail. Our trips are on sailing yachts, so the approach to the whales is calm and quiet.

Licensed and responsible. Mizendoha, Lina Siete and Madoudou are Barco Azul authorised vessels, and we follow the Canary Islands whale-watching rules on every trip.

What you are likely to see

AnimalHow often we see them
Short-finned pilot whalesAlmost every trip, all year round
Bottlenose dolphinsAbout half of our trips
Sea turtlesSometimes, mostly in summer

The sea off south-west Tenerife is part of the Teno-Rasca marine protected area. Mizendoha, Lina Siete and Madoudou are Barco Azul authorised, so we watch whales the way the Canary Islands rules require.

Tips for guests staying in Los Cristianos

  • Book the pick-up when you book the trip, so the driver can plan the route — it is paid directly to the driver.
  • Families: children of all ages are welcome, and children’s life jackets are on board.
  • Make a day of it: after a morning trip, the beaches of Los Cristianos and Las Vistas are close by for the afternoon.

What’s included on every whale trip

A sandwich (regular, vegan or gluten-free), fruit, drinks — beer, wine, coffee, soft drinks and water — snorkel gear, life jackets, insurance and a swim stop at Diego Hernández beach when the sea allows.

Do your boat trips leave from Los Cristianos harbour?

No. All our trips leave from Puerto Colón marina in Costa Adeje, about 10 minutes by car from Los Cristianos. We offer hotel pick-up from €10 per person.

How much is pick-up from Los Cristianos?

From €10 per person, for up to 8 guests in the van, paid to the driver. Tell us your hotel when you book.

Which trip is best for families from Los Cristianos?

The 3-hour small-group whale watching trip: €49 per adult and €39 per child aged 0–10, with snacks, drinks and a swim stop. For your own yacht, private whale watching costs €399 for up to 11 guests.

Will we see whales and dolphins?

Very likely. Short-finned pilot whales live off this coast all year and we see them on almost every trip; bottlenose dolphins on about half. They are wild animals, so no sighting can be guaranteed.

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

You pay the full price or a 50% deposit online when you book. If you cancel 5 days or more before the trip, you get a full refund; between 5 days and 48 hours, 50% of what you paid; less than 48 hours before, or if you don’t show up, no refund. If the captain cancels because of the weather, you choose another date or a full refund.
