Sailing the shores of Tenerife's towering volcanic coastline is one relaxing experience – and with this trip, it's made even more so from the sun-drenched deck of a catamaran. In between swimming, sunbathing and soaking up the scenery, there's even a chance to see pilot whales and dolphins as they leap and frolic in their natural habitat.

Cast off on this cruise from Porto Colon and you'll enjoy a different perspective on the dramatic terrain of the island. While sunning yourself and feeling a cool breeze wash over you, your captain will sail into waters known for hosting pods of dolphins and whales. With luck, you'll get to spot these magnificent creatures and learn all about them.

Then, as the day heats up, we'll sail in the shadow of the island's incredible Los Gigantes cliffs before dropping anchor in Masca Bay to cool off with a swim. And to top it all off, you'll be pampered by the crew. There'll be complimentary drinks at the shaded bar and lunch on board.

Well organised. Helpful team. I enjoyed swimming off the catamaran and seeing the pilot whales. The coach trip to get to and from the marina was quite long with a lot of hotel drop offs making it an hour to travel a short distance.

Amazing experience The crew where absolutely fantastic.

The English-speaking crew member (the woman) did not provide any commentary as we went along the Costa Adeje. When we arrived at Los Gigantes, she gave only absolutely minimal geological information. Similarly, although the crew did well to follow/track pilot whales and I was absolutely delighted to see them (really thriling) there was almost zero information about the whales. I think disco and pop music all the way should have been balanced with information

Very good day out

Very enjoyable trip kept us informed, and made sure we saw the whales &dolphins

The food was disgusting. Tinned meatball and frozen veg rice. I've never had food this bad on an excursion EVER. Dylan my rep did not tell me that if i didn't want to squash up with a stranger on a seat i'd have to pay €25 for a matress. ReaIly angry aboit that. I hurt my foot trying to get onto said matress. The crew were amazing. Such knowledge. And so helpful with some elderly passengers. We saw so many dolphins and whales. If we hadn't the trip would've been a zero.
