Set sail on a silent, electric catamaran as the sun dips below Lanzarote’s volcanic cliffs. Join WeWhale Canarias SL for an intimate sunset journey with organic treats and a chance to spot dolphins in the wild.
Puerto Calero, located on the southern coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, offers a singular gateway to some of Spain’s most captivating marine encounters. WeWhale Canarias SL operates a distinctive adventure here: a 2.5-hour sunset cruise aboard a fully electric catamaran along Lanzarote’s volcanic coastline. This shared experience invites up to 12 guests to unwind on a wide, open deck where organic drinks and snacks accompany panoramic views and a calm sea breeze.
What sets this trip apart is the vessel itself. Powered entirely by electric engines, the catamaran melds comfort with environmental mindfulness—a rare combination on ocean tours. The tour’s route skirts Lanzarote’s rugged coastlines, where black volcanic cliffs rise abruptly from the sea and hidden coves carve the shore. As the sun slips toward the horizon, the sky shifts through shades of gold and deep orange, mirrored by the Atlantic’s gentle waves.
WeWhale Canarias SL is more than a sunset cruise; guides share detailed knowledge of the local cetacean population, including the resident bottlenose dolphins and several whale species found year-round in these waters. Guests often catch glimpses of dolphins bow-riding alongside the catamaran, transforming the quiet twilight into a lively wildlife spectacle.
The Canary Islands’ unique geology and microclimates contribute to this marine richness, while Puerto Calero’s marina serves as a convenient starting point, balancing accessibility with natural beauty. This experience emphasizes low-impact tourism, making it a standout for travelers seeking an intimate connection with the ocean and its creatures, without compromising on comfort or ecological responsibility.
In short, WeWhale Canarias SL provides a thoughtful, eco-conscious way to witness Lanzarote’s volcanic shoreline and marine life during one of the island’s most breathtaking daily events—the sunset over the Atlantic.
