📖 How the marine safari unfolds

The indicative itinerary starts with pickup in Las Galletas or elsewhere in southern Tenerife, depending on the booking. An approximately 20-minute minivan transfer then leads to the boat departure.

While sailing, the crew searches for wildlife and shares explanations. A mid-trip stop allows time for swimming before the boat returns to port and a second transfer of around 20 minutes ends in Las Galletas.
