4.Whale Watching and Listening Eco Catamaran Tour with Food Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 543 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $71

Cruise from Puerto Colón with White Tenerife for about five hours of whale and dolphin watching, live marine-life commentary, a swim stop, lunch, fruit, wine, beer, soft drinks, and wide ocean views. Crew members including Miguel, Carlos, and Nacho may keep the mood lively while you look for pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and other sea life.

“The boat was comfortable and the crew were great but I have been on far more interesting and engaging whale watching experiences. We did see a school of pilot wales but it seemed like that one sighting was “enough” for the trip and we did not attempt to fond more. I was disappointed that we did not sail during the cruise, only motored when there was plenty of wind. Apparently, part of the rigging needed to be repaired.”
