What an amazing day! We spent about three hours sailing with Flipper Unno… You get the chance to see pilot whales and dolphins, there's plenty of food and drinks on board
What is this tour like?
Same boat, same marina, one hour less. The 2-hour departure is Flipper Uno's “without lunch” fare: an official whale-watching guide on board and drinks included, at €33 per adult, €23 per child aged 2–11, infants free, tax included. The company (Agua Azul Tenerife S.L.) built this wooden boat itself and launched it in 1996; it holds 4.6 on Google from 2,306 reviews as of 3 September 2026.
Two things to know before you book. First, there is no paella here — if lunch matters, the 3-hour trip is €40. Second, transport is not included: the fare is listed as “departure without transport”, so you reach the Los Gigantes marina yourself. The waters off the cliffs hold resident pilot whales and dolphins, but the operator qualifies its own sightings promise with “depending on sea conditions”, and its ticket staff say the same thing to guests.

- Two hours off the Los Gigantes cliffs on the operator's own boat
- Official whale-watching guide on board
- Drinks included; no lunch on this fare
