Welcome aboard Shogun, a traditional wooden schooner offering a relaxed whale watching experience along Tenerife’s southwest coast.
Departing from Puerto Colón, you’ll sail through calm waters known for year-round sightings of pilot whales and dolphins. These resident species often appear close to the boat, allowing you to observe them respectfully in their natural habitat while the friendly crew shares interesting facts for adults and children alike.
The cruise continues towards the dramatic cliffs of Los Gigantes, one of Tenerife’s most iconic landscapes. Here, the schooner anchors in Masca Bay, a sheltered and beautiful cove. You can enjoy a refreshing swim using the provided life jackets and float aids, or simply stay on deck and take in the views.
While anchored, a freshly prepared lunch is served on board. Water and soft drinks are available throughout the trip, with wine and beer included for adults during lunch. The atmosphere on board is calm and uncrowded, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze.
On the gentle sail back to Puerto Colón, keep an eye out for more dolphins, enjoy a final drink, and soak up the feeling of a slow, scenic day at sea—perfect for families, couples, and travellers looking for a peaceful experience on the ocean.
