Bahía del Duque offers its guests the chance to explore the stunning waters off the coast of Tenerife with its exclusive whale and dolphin watching excursions. These unique adventures not only highlight the island’s rich marine life but also reveal the breathtaking beauty of its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and hidden coves.
Guests can choose between two distinct types of vessels for their adventure in the Atlantic ocean: catamarans and sailing boats, each providing tailored experiences to suit different preferences.
Catamaran Excursions
For those seeking a lively and leisurely journey, the catamaran excursions are an ideal choice. The catamaran accommodates up to 12 passengers and departs from the picturesque port of Las Galletas, just 20 minutes away from Bahía del Duque.
The Blue Ocean Catamaran offers 3-hour shared trips or private charters of 3, 4, or 6 hours, including a special sunset option. Guests can witness dolphins and pilot whales along the south coast of Tenerife, with opportunities to swim, stand-up paddleboarding, or snorkel during the return journey. Snacks, fruits, beverages, and transportation are included in the activity.
Sailing Boat Excursions
For a more intimate and traditional sailing experience, guests can opt for one of the sailing boat excursions. These boats, departing from Puerto Colón or Los Gigantes offer a serene way to explore Tenerife’s coastline, catering to smaller groups.
The Big Smile Sailing Boat departs from Puerto Colón, which is about 15 minutes away from the hotel, and has a capacity of up to 10 guests. It offers shared or private charters lasting 3, 6, 8, or 10 hours. In addition to whale and dolphin watching, guests can enjoy snorkelling in crystal-clear waters. Private charters may also include a paella or sushi meal. All trips are fully catered with snacks, fruits, beverages, and transportation.
The Picarus Sailing Boat, departing from Los Gigantes, a port 25 minutes away from Bahía del Duque, accommodates up to 8 passengers. This vessel offers 3-hour shared charters, typically in the afternoon, as well as a 4-hour shared trip to the Cliffs of Masca. Private charters are also available, with durations ranging from 3 to 6 hours. Snacks, fruits, beverages, and transportation are provided on all excursions.
These meticulously curated excursions offer not only adventure but also a peaceful retreat, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Tenerife and its vibrant marine life. Whether choosing the modern comfort of a catamaran or the classic elegance of a sailing boat, Bahía del Duque ensures an unforgettable experience.
