Boat Tours in Las Galletas, Tenerife

The speedboat made it possible to get close-up to all sorts of wildlife in a very comfortable, but thrilling manner. The lightweight floatation wetsuits made the snorkelling very easy. The guide/ tour operator was experienced and we felt safe and well cared for. Loved the video and pictures we got from the morning, though we felt the video was a little expensive. Embarking from Las Gallettas made the experience more authentic since it is a port removed from the central tourist beaches of Los Christianos, etc… which allows you to experience local services like a fish market, and tapas bars by the docks which would not be seen in the larger, more touristy ports.

Absolutely fantastic! Totally recommended. We did the snorkeling trip today. We saw lots of dolphins, swam with fish, turtles and rays. I’ve done a lot of trips like this (Hawaii, Australia etc). This was the best - no large crowds, it was just us and the crew (4 in total). Book it, you won’t be disappointed 👍

We booked the tour in advance and were lucky to be the only (two of us) participants - so we had full attention from the fantastic guide. If you are going by own car, plan a little bit extra time to find some parking space. The company contacted us two days earlier to find out the sizes for fins and swimsuits which saved time at check-in. Sea was calm and after a 20-minute ride with a rubber boat we reached the snorkeling spot near high rocks and fish farms on the other side. First we spotted some dolphins playing. Then entered the sea and started to look around. Initially not much was there, but later four turtles came and started to swim around beautifully. Some other fish, too, however turtles were by far the most interesting to watch.
