Whale and Dolphin Watching in La Palma: Flipper Boat Trip
Looking for an unforgettable adventure during your holidays in the Canary Islands? We invite you to climb aboard our guided marine safari from the Port of Tazacorte, the ultimate starting point for dolphin and whale watching in La Palma. Disconnect from the daily rush and dive into the crystal-clear waters of the ocean on a journey designed to connect with marine wildlife in their natural habitat.
🐬 Responsible and Sustainable Boat Trips
We navigate under a strict protocol of respect for marine life. We hold the official "Barco Azul" (Blue Boat) certification, which guarantees that we do not interfere with the natural behavior, habits, or well-being of the animals.
🔬 Guided by Marine Biologists
This is not just a standard boat tour around La Palma. On board, you will be accompanied by a team of expert scientists who will share their knowledge about the different species of dolphins and whales that live in or migrate through Canary waters in an engaging and multilingual way.
📸 Free Souvenir Photos
Enjoy the experience without worrying about risking your phone near the water! At the end of the trip on the Flipper boat, our team will send the best photos of the tour directly to your email completely free of charge.
A Window to the Ocean: Cetacean Safari in Tazacorte
The western coast of the "Isla Bonita" is a true sanctuary for marine life. Sheltered from the prevailing winds, the calm waters surrounding Tazacorte offer exceptional conditions for discovering Atlantic biodiversity. We invite you on a voyage of discovery aboard the Flipper Boat, an ideal experience for families and groups giving you the chance to spot resident species like bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales, as well as seasonal rorquals and seabirds.
