On some occasions, marine life comes to the surface to amaze those lucky ones who can, observe it.

If you visit La Gomera, you cannot miss the maritime excursions along the coasts of the island.

The yubartas have been sighted on these boat trips, they are also known as humpback whales, a cetacean species that can reach 12 to 16 meters in adulthood. They usually travel a lot, since they migrate thousands of kilometres a year, and they are easy to recognize among all the whales in the world thanks to their fins and the knotted head. You can also see sperm whales also called cachalot, which are easy to recognize by their large heads and rounded fronts that, once you see them, will make you think of the Moby Dick story. In addition, you will find rorquals, which come from the family of the so-called "winged whales" which have a very characteristic beard among these cetaceans. A great tourist attraction in the Canary Islands.
But undoubtedly the dolphins are the stars of these boat trips. Everyone knows that dolphins are smart, but also tremendously funny creatures. During the tour you will see different types of dolphins: from bottlenose dolphins, tropical pilot whales, which are considered as the world's fastest cetacean in depth, to rough-toothed dolphin, which is not very common to see. If you see them, you may consider yourself as a lucky person. In addition, on tour, we also look for turtles, seabirds and other spectacular animals.
Animals are one of the attractions of these boat trips, but what about the landscape? This boat trip will take us to stunning natural landscapes, such as Los Órganos Natural Monument. A cliff of volcanic rocks in the form of organ tubes that seem to be falling into the sea and can only be admired if you travel by boat. A jewel of natural architecture that nobody can miss.
