Overview

There are 2h30m - 3h in which we search for cetaceans to enjoy a day at sea with these incredible animals and we also approach the most recognizable coastal points of La Palma (La Cueva Bonita, Poris de Candelaria, Playa de la Veta and the lava delta created by the recent volcano) to also appreciate a little of our incredible coast aboard the Fancy II motor catamaran, it has 4 different areas to enjoy, the upper deck with spectacular views (but it moves a little more), the bow that is open to sunbathe and see the dolphins from close up, the stern that has tables and seats to eat in peace (you can bring food to the boat) and finally our underwater views, which can be accessed in moments key or asking the boat staff, to watch these incredible cetaceans jump, scratch with the boat, etc. From under the water. Soft drinks and water are included in the excursion, we also have some alcoholic drinks and some snacks that can be purchased at the boat bar.

Meeting points

Remember. Tazacorte can NOT be accessed by the Fuencaliente road, you must do it from the road that connects Santa Cruz with the western area.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

La Palma

Enjoy 2.5 hours of navigation and adventure near the coast of La Palma, meeting whales, dolphins, turtles, birds and other marine animals that want to share some time with us and let themselves be photographed. When it's over, it will be an unforgettable experience. Having had the dolphins so close, or seeing a pod of pilot whales in the underwater vision, or listening to the blow of a whale in the distance and getting closer until it comes out again to breathe... Live it from beginning to end. Each time is different and magical. You will want to repeat. Dolphins, whales and other inhabitants of the sea are marine animals, whose home we visit. Although we try to ensure that you enjoy sightings on all our outings, they are sovereign and decide whether or not they want to meet us. At the end of the route we will approach half a mile from the lava flows of the Cumbre Vieja volcano to explain some of the details and anecdotes that this natural phenomenon has left us.

Really super. Saw pilot whales, dolphins, turtles and even a hammerhead shark. The guys were knowledgeable and obviously loved their work.

Great adventure

It was an incredible adventure with an exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable crew! We had the opportunity to witness whales, various fish, the untamed sea, cliffs, as well as coves and unique beaches. We explored the new volcano and what it did to the island and spent a truly extended time on the journey. The crew provided us with beverages and a wealth of fascinating information. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat – the crew did an outstanding job.

Thank you for the great experience

It was a great experience: great boat, very professional crew who really took care about passengers and about our good experience. All security measures were taken (distancing, temperature check etc), plus it was limited amount of the people on the boat (easy to keep a distance). We were lucky to see a numbers of dolphins and also wale’s). Thank you for the pleasant emotions P.S. also we were served with very tasty snacks :)

Great crew and service and very good value!

It was a good trip aboard Fancy 2. The boat is not as big, as you might think. there are about 24 seats. I really enjoyed the service and the attention. refreshments, sandwiches, drinks and fruit. We saw a pod of dolphins and they were around us for about 29 min. They are great to see underwater in one of 2 chambers with windows. The marina is very easy to find and parking is free. The boat is easy to find too and we were greeted with our tickets printed out. There is a toilet and a restaurant/cafe at the marina two and toilets on board.. Please bring with you some cash to tip the crew, they are really good.

Very well organized tour

We had booked our trip (the 2.5hr Northern Adventure) online in advance, very easy on the website. On the day itself, it was easy to reach the port of Tazacorte and to locate the Fancy II desk. From ther on, we were helped by very friendly and enthousiastic people. We were approximately 40 people while the Fancy II has a max capacity of 60, so plenty of room on board. Drinks and fresh fruits were plenty available, some snacks (sandwiches) were also handed out. Unfortunately, both my daughter (4yrs) and myself got seasick (seems we're quite sensitive to that...) towards the end of the trip. Kudos to the guys on board for being so attentive and supportive to us! Meanwhile, my wife and son fully enjoyed seeing a group of pilot whales, both underneath the water and from above. The underwater vision windows are a very nice extra! (enjoyed them before I got seasick). In brief: if you're not too sea-sensitive, this trip is something to try out while you're in La Palma! (don't forget to bring a sweater: you'll be at sea and moving at quite some speed, so it gets a bit chilly)
