WHALE AND DOLPHIN SPOTTING from Los Acantilados de los Gigantes
Want to see dolphins and whales in the wild? Take a plane to Tenerife… In about 4.5 hours, you'll be on the island, where whales and dolphins swim around year-round. There are six different species of dolphins and whales to see, so there's a good chance you'll see several!
The boat departs (three times a day) from the port of Los Acantilados de Los Gigantes, and the tour lasts two hours. We started by looking for whales. This involves sailing a short distance out to sea. It was so cool to spot our first whale! It was a pilot whale, which can grow up to 5 meters long.
After the whales, it was time for dolphin watching. The dolphins were a bit closer to shore, and because dolphins are very curious, they came incredibly close to the boat! I saw about 10 bottlenose dolphins, and even one up close! My day couldn't have been better :-) The icing on the cake is a swim at the beach in Masca. While floating in the water, you have a fantastic view of the high cliffs... While I lay there, I could only think of one thing: life is good!
