Whale Watching at Sunset with WeWhale Canarias in Puerto del Carmen

Puerto del Carmen, a lively coastal town on Lanzarote island in the Canary Islands, offers more than sandy beaches and volcanic landscapes—it opens the door to intimate marine wildlife encounters. WeWhale Canarias SL invites adventurers to step aboard the electric sailboat ’El Som Mar’ for the Denia Sunset Experience, a 2.5-hour journey tailored for whale and dolphin enthusiasts. This private outing is not just a sightseeing tour; it’s a blend of quiet observation and cutting-edge technology set against the striking Atlantic twilight.

Departing from Puerto del Carmen’s marina, ’El Som Mar’ cuts through calm ocean waters with silent efficiency, powered by electricity to minimize disturbance to the local marine ecosystem. Guests settle into panoramic views and lean in to listen with a hydrophone, tuning into underwater communications of whales and dolphins roaming the nearby seas. The addition of a 360-degree camera captures every angle, offering a rare, immersive connection to these creatures without interrupting their natural behaviors.

This adventure highlights the Canary Islands’ status as a vital marine habitat where several whale species, including pilot whales and occasionally bottlenose dolphins, gather. The Denia Sunset Experience is uniquely timed so travelers witness the sky change color as marine activity unfolds, making it a rare combination of wildlife observation and natural spectacle.

WeWhale Canarias SL’s commitment extends beyond the trip itself. Participation supports ongoing marine conservation efforts focused on protecting these species and their habitat. Snacks and drinks onboard round out the evening, making it a relaxed yet enlightening way to engage with Lanzarote’s coastal environment.

For those seeking a responsible and intimate marine adventure far from typical tourist crowds, this sailboat trip in the Canary Islands offers a fresh perspective on outdoor recreation—quiet, high tech, and deeply connected to one of Spain’s most compelling oceanic corridors.
