Private Whale Watching Tour

For the ultimate cetacean encounter, a private whale watching charter puts you and your group alone on the water with a dedicated skipper and marine guide. Choose your departure point — Puerto Colón for easy access from southern resorts or Los Gigantes for immediate proximity to the famous cliffs — and set out on a personalised itinerary that follows the whales and dolphins at a pace that suits you.

Private charters offer flexibility that shared tours cannot: linger longer with a particularly active pod, change course to investigate a distant blow or splash, or simply anchor in a secluded cove and enjoy the silence. Yachts accommodate groups of 2 to 12 guests, with larger vessels featuring flybridge viewing decks, premium sound systems, and full galley facilities for freshly prepared food.

This experience is ideal for families with young children who benefit from a flexible schedule, couples seeking a romantic occasion, or groups of friends celebrating together. The skipper adjusts the pace and route in real time based on sea conditions and wildlife activity, maximising your chances of extraordinary encounters while keeping comfort and safety paramount.

A private whale watching charter is the premium way to experience Tenerife's marine wildlife. Without the constraints of a fixed schedule or a boat full of strangers, you're free to follow the action and create memories at your own pace. Private charters are particularly popular for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and small group celebrations.

Prices start from around €350 for a 3-hour charter for up to 6 guests — when split between a group, this works out to a remarkably affordable per-person rate for an exclusive experience. Book early during summer months when private yachts are in high demand from both day-trippers and sunset seekers.
