The catamaran slips out of Puerto Colón, hull whispering through blue water while Tenerife’s volcanic spine watches from shore. Salted wind pushes hair and conversation back; ahead, the sea widens and a dark fin slices the surface — pilot whales and dolphins often appear within the first hour, curious and unhurried.

Bring sun protection
