White Tenerife’s 3-hour eco-catamaran trip offers an unmatched window into the underwater world, focusing on the live spectacle of whales and dolphins navigating the Atlantic just beyond shore. Departing from Marina Puerto Colón, guests set sail aboard a specially designed eco-catamaran that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing comfort and accessibility.
The highlight of this journey is the rare opportunity to both see and hear cetaceans communicating beneath the waves, thanks to a state-of-the-art underwater sound system with deck speakers.
