Dolphins, Sundowner, Atlantic – the Sunset Catamaran Tour
Imagine: a catamaran leaving the harbour of Caleta del Sebo just before sunset. The west coast of La Graciosa slowly passes by, the light turns golden, and then – a group of dolphins surfs in the bow wave. That is what the sunset catamaran tour on La Graciosa looks like.
What the Tour Includes
The west coast of La Graciosa is the most reliable dolphin area on the island. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) frequently surf in the bow waves of boats. No catamaran trip guarantees a sighting – but the chances are exceptionally good.
The Sunset at Sea
The real highlight: the sun sinking behind the Atlantic. No mountain backdrop, no horizon blocker – just the sea and the light. With the Famara massif on Lanzarote behind you and the wide Atlantic ahead.
Snorkelling as a Bonus
Some tours make an intermediate stop for a snorkelling break – equipment often included. 228 fish species, turtles, clear water of the Reserva Marina.
Book early: sunset tours sell out quickly in good weather
Bring a warm jacket: it gets cool on the water after sunset
- Take seasickness tablets as a precaution
- Camera: waterproof or with protective case
- Important notes: weather-dependent – in strong winds the tour may be cancelled or postponed. Alcohol and heavy swell: be mindful of the combination.
- Is there a guarantee of dolphin sightings? No – dolphins are wild animals. However, the west coast of La Graciosa has one of the highest sighting rates in the Canary Islands.
