Sunset by Travelin´ Lady — Eco Yacht Whale Watching

Our Full Review of This Eco-Yacht Trip

The eco-yacht trip at a glance

Sunset by Travelin´ Lady: Eco Yacht Whale Watching sails from Los Cristianos (Puerto de Los Cristianos) and lasts 90 minutes. The listing sells one option: “Sunset Tour” from €29.90. On the options we checked for 15 October 2026, boats left at 17:00. The listing does not state a maximum group size, so expect a shared deck. The crew guides in English, Spanish, French and Italian.

Prices start at €29.90 per person, checked on 23 Sep 2026. Of the 9 per-person trips from Los Cristianos, four cost less and four more; the middle price here is €29.90. By rating it is sixth of the 7 boats from this port with twenty or more reviews (★ 4.6 from 2,293 reviews).

The eco-yachts are the only boats on the island their operator describes as built for whale watching rather than converted: a low centre of gravity that reduces rolling, quiet engines and a toilet on board.

Who this eco-yacht trip suits

The listing sets no minimum age. At 90 minutes it suits younger children and first-timers. The listing mentions a toilet on board.

The operator lists it as not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility; the accessibility guide names the boats that do take wheelchairs.

If you are prone to seasickness, sit low and in the middle of the boat, watch the horizon, eat lightly beforehand and take a remedy before you board, not once you feel unwell.

What the operator promises, and what we can check

In the operator’s own words, the trip offers: “Admire spectacular scenery and an unforgettable sunset in the last light”, “End your day with an unforgettable whale and dolphin watching experience”, “Swim in the ocean while watching the last rays of sunlight” and “Learn about the marine wildlife of the Canary Islands”.

We cannot check every promise from a desk, but we can set it against the other 11 listings from Los Cristianos: at 90 minutes it is shorter than the typical two-and-a-half-hour trip from Los Cristianos, it is one of the nine boats from this port that include a swim or snorkel stop and only one other trip from here includes hotel pickup. Every licensed boat follows the same rules near the animals — 60 metres, 30 minutes, 4 knots — so a promise to respect the whales is a floor, not an extra (the rules).

What €29.90 buys on this eco-yacht trip

According to the listing the price includes yacht cruise with a low center of gravity, crew and captain on board, guide, cruise with the possibility of spotting whales and dolphins, onboard bar, swimming and snorkeling stop and onboard restroom. Not included: snacks, coffee, soft drinks, beer, and water, snorkeling goggles, hotel pickup and drop-off and no refunds are available if you arrive late for the activity; only rescheduling to another day is possible, subject to availability. Some of that can be bought on board, so bring cash or a card.

The price is per person; children’s prices, where the operator offers them, show in the calendar once you choose the number of people. Free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund — the same terms as every boat on this site. The price in the calendar for your date is the one that counts; ours is a snapshot.

The best month and time for this eco-yacht trip

The pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins live off this coast all year, and operators report sightings on about 99 % of trips (operator data), so the month changes the weather, not the animals. For the swim stop, the sea is warmest in September (23.8 °C) and coolest in March (19.2 °C).

July and August are the windiest months and September and October the calmest (month by month). Departures on this listing leave in the afternoon, when the summer trade wind is at its strongest; in July and August pick a calm day or a steadier boat. As a sunset trip its start time moves with the light — sunset falls between 18:14 and 21:06 through the year.

Book this eco-yacht trip if ninety minutes is enough — a first trip, young children or a tight day, you want the evening light on the water or you need a toilet on board.
