History
Tenerife’s coastal waters are rich with marine life, making whale watching one of the island’s most popular activities. Los Cristianos, with its stunning views and clear waters, offers the perfect backdrop for spotting ocean giants. The Travelin Lady eco-yacht was designed specifically for whale watching, providing a unique, close-up experience that doesn’t disturb the natural behavior of the whales. Built to meet the highest standards, it’s the only yacht in the Canary Islands created exclusively for this activity, offering unmatched views and comfort for all passengers.
The yacht’s design is tailored to minimize seasickness, with a low center of gravity and a starboard side close to the water’s surface. This allows for a safer, more immersive experience, giving passengers the feeling of being right next to the marine mammals. Additionally, the yacht operates with two smokeless, low-emission engines, supporting sustainable tourism and earning the Blue Boat certification. Join this eco-friendly journey to witness one of nature’s most majestic creatures in its natural habitat.
