Set off from Tazacorte for a 3-hour marine safari along La Palma’s coast with Fancy Submarine Vision, where dolphins, whales, and volcanic caves await beneath Atlantic waves.
Located on the northwest coast of La Palma, the small town of Tazacorte offers more than just charming streets and volcanic vistas—it’s the gateway to a marine adventure with Fancy Submarine Vision. Their Aventura Safari al Norte is a 3-hour journey off the rugged coastline of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. This unique experience invites travelers to witness one of the Canary Islands’ most vibrant marine arenas, where dolphins and whales swim freely through the Atlantic waters.
This safari stands apart thanks to its intimate approach to ocean wildlife and geology. The route visits Cueva Bonita, a striking marine cave hewn from volcanic rock, allowing passengers exceptional underwater views that reveal the rich biodiversity below the surface. Nearby, the volcanic fajanas—lava fields that meet the ocean—create a dramatic backdrop imbued with the raw power of La Palma’s volcanic origins.
Each journey is tailored to the evolving marine conditions and wildlife patterns, making every trip distinctly memorable. Unlike larger tour boats, Fancy Submarine Vision offers an up-close connection to nature’s spectacle, emphasizing responsible observation without disruption.

The company’s approach blends adventure with respect for the fragile coastal ecosystem, highlighting the importance of conservation.
