Details

Lanzarote, part of Spain’s Canary Islands archipelago, is renowned for its volcanic landscapes, endless coastline, and temperate climate that invites outdoor adventurers year-round. In Puerto Calero, located on the island’s southwest shore, WeWhale Canarias SL offers a private, eco-conscious way to witness the island’s coastal beauty: the Lanzarote Sunset Experience aboard a fully electric catamaran. This unique journey combines serene seascapes with intimate encounters with marine wildlife, setting it apart from standard island tours.

This private sunset cruise glides effortlessly over crystalline Atlantic waters, allowing guests to unwind on a spacious, open deck while organic refreshments are served. The quiet hum of the electric engines ensures you stay connected to the natural world, minimizing disturbance to the local marine ecosystem. Along the way, the knowledgeable crew shares insights on Lanzarote’s cetaceans, including resident dolphins and whales that frequent these waters. Spotting pods of dolphins darting beside the catamaran is often a highlight, offering an authentic connection to the island’s thriving ocean life.

Puerto Calero itself is a harbor with a distinctly modern vibe, set against Lanzarote’s rugged volcanic backdrop, making this sunset cruise visually spectacular. The volcanic coastline provides dramatic cliffs, black sand beaches, and hidden coves, all framed by the warm glow of a setting sun.

WeWhale Canarias SL stands out in Lanzarote’s outdoor scene for its commitment to sustainable adventure tourism, thoughtful design of an electric vessel, and focus on intimate wildlife experiences. For those seeking a moment of calm and connection with nature at day’s end, this private tour offers an unforgettable perspective on the Canary Islands’ marine biodiversity and tranquil coastal beauty.
