✨ About the experience
The Maxicat catamaran excursion in Tenerife is a complete sea getaway that combines nature, food and relaxation. Over three hours you’ll sail to the Special Area of Conservation in the southwest of the island, one of the best places in Europe for whale and dolphin watching in their natural habitat.
With the Maxicat you can choose your departure time from 10:00, 13:15 and 16:15, tailoring the excursion to your day. After the whale and dolphin watching, the catamaran anchors in a quiet bay where you can swim, snorkel or simply relax on deck with a drink in hand.
On board you’ll enjoy unlimited drinks and you can choose between sandwiches or paella, with vegetarian options and alternatives for different dietary needs. The experience also includes a pick-up service, so all you have to do is go with the flow. It’s an ideal plan for everyone, from families to the more adventurous.
