What to Expect

Experience a private whale watching adventure from Las Galletas on a RIB boat, guided by a marine biologist, with the chance to listen to cetaceans underwater and enjoy an optional swim or snorkeling stop. Departing from the port of Las Galletas, you will start your journey with a safety briefing to ensure a comfortable experience. As you navigate along the impressive lava landscape of the Malpaís de Rasca, you enter the protected marine area of Teno-Rasca, a unique spot between Tenerife and La Gomera, where you will have the opportunity to observe marine mammals in their natural habitat.

With the guidance of an expert marine biologist, you will gain a deeper understanding of what you see and hear. A hydrophone on board allows you to listen to the cetaceans, enriching your experience further. As part of our ongoing field study, you are invited to participate, making the tour both educational and interactive. The RIB boat accommodates up to 10 passengers, providing a personal and exclusive atmosphere. You have the option to extend the tour for a refreshing swim or snorkeling.
