Costa da Scoprire: Three Hours of Volcanic Coastline, Secret Bays and Dolphin Sightings off Amarilla Golf.
Set out from Marina San Miguel for a brisk, three-hour motorboat circuit along Tenerife’s southern coast.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Volcanic coastlines and secret bays
A fast, comfortable motorboat follows the island’s southern rim, revealing black-lava escarpments and sheltered coves that read like distilled geology from the water’s edge.
Dolphins—and possibly whales—at sea
The excursion is organized to maximize opportunities for cetacean sightings: pods of dolphins are commonly seen and whales may appear in the area during outings.
Stops for safe swimming and snorkeling
Planned pauses at panoramic, secure points let participants slip into the island’s clear water for a swim or snorkel before returning to the boat for refreshments.

What the three hours feel like
The trip moves deliberately: a spirited departure from the marina, a stretch of open-coast motoring that frames Tenerife’s volcanic profile, timed halts in calm coves for swimming and snorkeling, and long-eyed watches for dolphin activity while crew serve cool drinks and snacks.
