Whale watching from Los Gigantes

Los Gigantes is located on the west coast of Tenerife and is one of the best places on the island for whale and dolphin watching. Bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales live in this part of the Atlantic Ocean all year round, so there is a good chance of seeing them in their natural habitat. Excursions usually depart by boat from the harbor and offer a few hours of close-up viewing of the animals. The imposing cliffs towering in the background—the Acantilados de Los Gigantes—provide a unique and dramatic backdrop to the tour. Most organized programs are environmentally friendly, licensed, and place great emphasis on animal protection. Whale watching is an exciting and moving experience that offers proximity to nature on one of Tenerife's most beautiful coastlines.
