Private Sunset off Las Galletas: Dolphins, Whales and a Meal on the Atlantic
A three‑hour private evening cruise from Las Galletas with cetacean sightings, onboard food and drinks, and optional pickup across southwest Tenerife—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Private Sunset off Las Galletas: Dolphins, Whales and a Meal on the Atlantic.
From Las Galletas the Atlantic widens into an orange horizon as the boat slips away from shore. Onboard a private vessel run by Tonina Cruises, the evening hush is punctuated by the slap of a dorsal fin and the slow breach of a whale—an intimate window into pelagic life framed by the last light of day. The outing pairs wildlife watching with a relaxed meal and drinks, making it as apt for a quiet celebration as for a family outing.
