Travelin' Lady — Eco Yacht Whale & Dolphin Safari + Swim

Our Full Review of This Eco-Yacht Trip

The eco-yacht trip at a glance

Travelin' Lady: Eco Yacht Whale & Dolphin Safari + Swim sails from Los Cristianos (Puerto de Los Cristianos) and lasts 90 minutes. The listing sells one option: “Eco-Yacht Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour with Swim” from €29.90. On the options we checked for 15 October 2026, boats left at 09:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00. The option names cap the group at 80 people. The crew guides in English, French, Spanish and Italian.

Prices start at €29.90 per person, a discount on a listed €37.50, checked on 23 Sep 2026. Of the 9 per-person trips from Los Cristianos, three cost less and five more; the middle price here is €29.90. By rating it is first of the 7 boats from this port with twenty or more reviews (★ 4.7 from 19,265 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: “Enjoy the ultimate ethical whale watching experience on a luxury eco-yacht”, “Sail on a stable eco-yacht with a low center of gravity and less dizziness”, “Stop at a safety area to swim and snorkel in an area teeming with marine life” and “Go sustainable: smokeless, ultra-low-emission engines reduce pollution”.

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 the only boat in Tenerife specifically designed for whale watching, eco-certified yacht with a low center of gravity that reduces seasickness, professional crew and experienced captain, specialist guide on board, bar service, free time to swim and snorkel and life jackets and emergency rafts. Not included: snacks, coffee, soft drinks, beer, and water, hotel pickup and drop-off service, snorkeling equipment and towels. 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.

What travellers say after the eco-yacht trip

19,265 travellers have reviewed this trip on GetYourGuide, for an average of ★ 4.69 out of 5. They score guide 4.8, transport 4.7 and value for money 4.8. The average value-for-money score across the established boats from Los Cristianos is 4.7, so this one is above the port average.

We read the four most recent reviews (from 1 Sep 2026 to 20 Sep 2026), which average ★ 5.0. Two mention whales, one mentions dolphins, two mention turtles, one mentions the crew or the guide and one mentions the swim. Four reviews are a sample, not a verdict — the average above covers everyone.

How this eco-yacht trip compares with the other boats from Los Cristianos

Twelve whale watching boats sell trips from Los Cristianos (see them all). The cheapest with a hundred reviews or more is Whale-Watching Cruise & Swim from Los Cristianos at €27.81. From here the run to deep water takes about 25 minutes (our estimate from operator descriptions); Los Gigantes is the shortest on the island.

Besides this one, Los Cristianos has four motor boats (from €27.81), three private boats (from €450 per boat), one catamaran (from €28) and one sailboat (from €56). Island-wide, seven of the 57 per-person trips cost less, and by number of reviews it is first of 72 (the full list).

The one real drawback we found is the crowd — the option names say up to 80 people aboard. If that matters to you, look at Los Gigantes Whale Watching Cruise by Sailboat: Los Gigantes Whale Watching Cruise by Sailboat takes up to 10. Everything else about the two trips — the whales, the rules, the free cancellation — is the same.

Getting to the eco-yacht trip

The meeting point, as the listing gives it: Muelle de Los Cristianos, Zona Excursiones, 38650 Los Cristianos. Puerto de Los Cristianos lies at 28°02′55″N 16°43′09″W. From Las Américas it is 2.7 km / 6 min by road, and buses 110 / 111 · 467 stop nearby.

The operator asks you to be there 20 minutes before departure. Bring swimwear, towel, sunscreen and downloaded app, as the listing advises. Not allowed on board: bikes, glass objects, littering, cooler and boots. From Santa Cruz it is 76 km, about 50 minutes, to Los Cristianos (bus 110 / 111).

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). In the windy months the morning departures (09:00 and 11:00) are the calmer choice; the afternoon ones (13:00, 15:00 and 17:00) meet the stronger trade wind.

Our verdict on this eco-yacht trip

Book this eco-yacht trip if ninety minutes is enough — a first trip, young children or a tight day, you want a boat that says it never chases the animals or you need a toilet on board.

Skip it if you need step-free boarding (see the accessibility guide) or you want a quiet deck (Los Gigantes Whale Watching Cruise by Sailboat takes up to 10).
