Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Hybrid Rodman 1100 — Senda del Azul

The outing runs aboard Senda del Azul, a spacious Rodman 1100 configured for hybrid propulsion so operators can reduce noise and minimise disturbance during wildlife encounters.

THE ENCOUNTERS

Low-impact dolphin and whale watching

This shared experience favours calm, natural encounters: the crew do not chase animals and guests learn about dolphin behaviour from an onboard guide while letting wildlife decide whether to approach.

THE ATMOSPHERE

Sunset, small groups and conservation

Running at dusk along the island’s coast, the tour pairs the quiet of late-afternoon sea with an intimate group dynamic and contributions to conservation—crew collect floating debris when possible and the operator channels a portion of revenue to protection efforts.

What the day feels like
