Join a Spanish-speaking skipper, often Luca or Alejandro, on a two-hour RIB ride from Los Gigantes. Watch for pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and flying fish in the Teno-Rasca Whale Sanctuary, then swim beneath the 600-meter cliffs at Masca Bay.

“Excellent trip - Captain was informative and, although he is Spanish, he did a great job of communicating clearly with everyone. We saw a pod of whales and had a fantastic sight seeing experience along the coastline. Small boat, with only 12 passengers- very comfortable and allowed for an up close experience with the whales. Highly recommend”

So fun too going fast and following the flying fish. 10/10 would recommend over the bigger boats anyday”
