Dolphin watching excursion
See dolphins and whales in their natural habitat! The excursion with the Flipper travels along the cliffs of the northwest coast, discovering its picturesque enclaves and getting close to the place where marine species of great biological interest nest. But you will also be able to enjoy some indescribable surroundings that are only accessible by sea. One of them is the Cueva Bonita, a grotto in which the sunlight produces exceptional colours in the sea. Or the Santorini of La Palma, the Cueva de Los Piratas and La Veta Beach.

Dolphin and whale watching excursion
Excursion offered in collaboration with OceanExplorer
The transfer to the port of Tazacorte is by public transport. La Palma enjoys excellent “guagua” (bus) connections and you can travel comfortably using the prepaid bus card that we will provide you with after purchasing your excursion (to be pay €10). The amount charged on this card is adjusted to the return journeys.
After enjoying the sea and the beautiful coastal scenery, our boat heads out to sea to spot the colonies of dolphins and whales that nest in these latitudes. And rare is the day that they don’t show their presence when they hear our boat approaching. The dolphins are friendly and play with the keel of the Flipper, jumping and smiling in a peculiar way. Other marine animals such as turtles or even whales often come to meet us as well. The boat is accompanied by marine biologists and expert guides, who will give you interesting information about the characteristics and natural habitat of these animals.
But the final highlight of this excursion before the return to the harbour is the breathtaking view of the lava river that overflowed into the sea after the recent eruption. A breathtaking view of the new volcano from the sea that shows us the relentless force of nature.

Whale and dolphin watching
Dolphins and whales are wild animals that have their habitat on the coasts of Tazacorte. They can almost always be observed during an excursion, although their presence is not guaranteed.
