Description
Step aboard the Peter Pan, our authentic pirate-style ship, and discover the magic of whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife. Sailing from the port of Los Cristianos, this 2-hour cruise combines adventure, family fun, and a deep respect for marine life.
This is not a staged show — it’s a responsible encounter with whales, dolphins, and seabirds in their natural Atlantic habitat. As a Blue Flag certified operator, we follow strict eco-friendly guidelines: no chasing, no feeding, and no disturbing the animals. We keep a respectful distance at all times, allowing natural behavior and unforgettable moments. Every sighting is different: you may witness pilot whales gliding near the surface, pods of playful dolphins racing the bow, or seabirds soaring high above.
Our crew of certified professionals will enrich your experience with fascinating insights about the wildlife and conservation efforts in Tenerife. Halfway through the tour, we’ll pause for a short swim stop — a refreshing chance to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean before we continue our journey.
Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or solo, the Peter Pan offers a unique setting with its pirate-style design, creating an atmosphere that’s both adventurous and welcoming. Bring your curiosity, bring your camera, and let nature surprise you.
