Los Rápidos is for those who want to see whales and/or dolphins, but do not want to spend half a day on a boat. This experience is short, intense and small-group: the fast boat takes a maximum of 12 people, making it much more direct, agile and personal than larger catamaran or pirate-boat programmes.
The programme departs from the port of Los Gigantes. The boat first heads out for whale and dolphin watching, then continues along the iconic coastline of the area: the massive cliffs of Los Gigantes, Masca, Barranco Seco or Juan López may be part of the route. If the weather and ocean conditions allow, the boat stops for a swim in the famous Masca Bay.
