The tour departs from the port of Los Cristianos aboard the pirate-style boat Peter Pan, which holds up to 60 passengers and features decks near sea level for good ocean views. The two-hour trip begins with safety instructions and an introduction from a multilingual guide. The boat sails along Tenerife's south coast toward Playa de las Americas, an area known for sightings of tropical dolphins and calderones. After about 40 minutes, the boat reaches areas where whales and dolphins are commonly seen. Passengers can observe the animals from the decks while the guide provides information about their behavior and habitat. If sea conditions allow, the boat stops near the coast for approximately 15 minutes to allow passengers to plunge and swim. Participants may jump into the water from either the main deck or the upper deck. Floats are available for children during the swim. This stop is intended for a relaxed dip; snorkeling equipment is not provided, and snorkeling is not part of the activity. After the swim, the boat returns to Los Cristianos, where the guide summarizes the sightings and answers questions. The boat is operated by a professional crew and captain with legal certification for whale watching. Toilets are available on board. Hotel pickup and drop-off can be arranged for an additional cost. The tour follows responsible whale watching guidelines to avoid disturbing the animals. The boat is wheelchair accessible for those able to board by walking.
