Imagine cruising along Tenerife’s stunning coast on a sleek 20-meter yacht, feeling the breeze and soaking up spectacular views of the island’s rugged shoreline. This boat trip takes you from Puerto Colón, Costa Adeje, towards scenic spots like Cueva de Palm Mar and Los Cristianos. Along the way, you’ll enjoy onboard water activities—from snorkeling and kayaking to the unique waterslide—plus a tasty meal and drinks that keep the good vibes flowing.
What we really love about this experience is the personalized atmosphere, with small groups allowing for more interaction and fun. The water slide—something you won’t find on every Canary Islands cruise—is a definite highlight, especially for families or teens. Plus, the friendly crew and the variety of water toys make sure there’s never a dull moment.
On the flip side, it’s worth noting that marine life sightings like dolphins aren’t guaranteed, which might be disappointing if that’s a key goal. Also, since the trip is about 3.5 to 4 hours, those looking for a longer excursion might want to consider other options. Nonetheless, if you’re after a lively, fun-filled day with plenty of water action in a relatively short time, this trip hits the mark.
This tour suits travelers who value interactive experiences and want a mix of sightseeing, water fun, and good food without spending a full day at sea. Families, couples, or groups of friends all find this trip appealing, especially given the positive reviews praising the attentive crew and the fun activities.
