Los Gigantes Dolphin and Whale Watching Cruise with Swim Stop FAQ
Yes, if you stay on the west side of the island. For €28 you get 2 hours at sea, the cliffs from the water, a swim and a cold drink, and 5,875 reviewers rate it ★ 4.7. If you want more time and food on board, the Los Gigantes sailboat is the step up.
The boat stops at Juan López or Masca, depending on the day. Swimming is separate from the whale watching: Canary Islands rules forbid swimming with, touching or feeding the animals. Bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen; snorkel gear is not listed as included.
The cruise lasts 2 hours at sea. Add 30 minutes before departure, because the operator asks you to check in at its office by then, and allow extra time to park: a recent reviewer says parking at the port is a struggle.
You lose your place and get no refund. The operator asks you to be at the Flipper Uno office 30 minutes before departure. If you are driving from another resort, leave early; if your plans change the day before, use the free cancellation instead.
Not reliably. The operator lists hotel pickup and drop-off, but the GetYourGuide listing does not mark it as a pickup trip, so check the option at checkout. For a trip that clearly includes pickup, the Los Gigantes lunch cruise collects you from your hotel.
One cold drink is included; food is not listed. Bring a snack and extra water for 2 hours in the sun, especially if you travel with children. If you want food included, the Los Gigantes sailboat serves fresh fruit and homemade sandwiches.
Yes. A stop at the Los Gigantes cliffs is part of the trip, alongside the whale and dolphin watching and the swim. The cliffs rise straight out of the sea on the west coast, and recent reviewers mention seeing both the dolphins and Los Gigantes from the boat. Bring a camera that you can keep dry for the swim.
Very likely, but not guaranteed: the listing says watching depends on sea conditions. Short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins live off the south-west coast all year, and Turismo de Tenerife reports sightings on about 8 out of 10 days.
