Los Gigantes Catamaran Cruise

The Los Gigantes Catamaran Cruise is Tenerife's definitive coastal sailing experience. Departing from Puerto Colón marina in Costa Adeje, the catamaran heads north along the dramatic western coastline towards the Acantilados de Los Gigantes — sheer basalt walls that plunge 600 metres from their summit to the ocean floor, forming one of the most spectacular cliff formations in the Atlantic.

As you sail beneath these towering walls, the scale is overwhelming — seabirds nest on impossibly narrow ledges hundreds of metres above, and the dark rock face creates stark contrasts against the turquoise water. The catamaran anchors in a sheltered cove near the cliffs for swimming and snorkelling, where the underwater visibility regularly exceeds 20 metres and colourful wrasse, parrotfish, and trumpet fish patrol the rocky seabed.

A freshly prepared lunch of paella or barbecue is served on board, accompanied by unlimited local wine, beer, sangria, and soft drinks. The spacious catamaran features trampolines at the bow, shaded lounge areas, and an upper sun deck — plenty of space for families, couples, and groups to spread out and enjoy the Tenerife sunshine on the return journey south past the golden beaches of Costa Adeje.

A catamaran cruise to Los Gigantes is one of Tenerife's top-rated activities, combining dramatic coastal scenery, water sports, and all-inclusive dining on the open sea. The western coast route from Costa Adeje to Los Gigantes passes through prime whale and dolphin territory, so cetacean sightings are a frequent bonus.

This cruise departs daily from Puerto Colón, with morning and afternoon departures available. Morning cruises typically enjoy the calmest seas, while afternoon sailings catch beautiful late-day light on the cliff face. Book online for the best availability and competitive prices.
