Whale Watching in Los Cristianos with Get Holiday

Located on the sun-drenched southern coast of Tenerife, Arona’s Los Cristianos offers one of the Canary Islands’ premier spots for marine wildlife encounters. With the Atlantic Ocean stretching deep and wide, Get Holiday invites adventurers on a focused two-hour journey aboard a certified blue-flagged vessel, leaving from the vibrant harbor of Los Cristianos. This isn’t mere sightseeing—it’s a chance to witness the majestic migration of whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, framed by the rugged cliffs of Guaza and the sparkling waters of Palm-mar.

The tour highlights a rich marine ecosystem where pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, and occasionally even sperm whales swim close to shore. The geological backdrop of the volcanic Guaza cliffs, rising sharply from the sea, adds a dramatic edge to the experience and provides a natural swimming spot should guests choose to take a dip. Throughout the excursion, an experienced biologist or local naturalist shares insights on cetacean behavior, regional conservation efforts, and the ocean’s health.

Get Holiday’s operation stands out in a landscape crowded with large tour operators by combining intimacy and education. The blue-flag certification ensures high standards in sustainability and safety, making it a responsible choice for visitors who want to engage with nature without harming it. Beyond the whales, the southern Tenerife climate supports year-round mild temperatures, maximizing chances to see wildlife and enjoy the boat ride comfortably.

This trip is an essential outdoor experience for travelers seeking connection with Tenerife’s marine life and coastal landscapes. It also fits perfectly into a larger itinerary around Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where bustling town culture and volcanic scenery draw explorers to return repeatedly. By choosing Get Holiday, travelers join a small circle of eco-conscious adventurers who appreciate the raw beauty and quiet thrill of the ocean’s giants.
