Description
Fuerteventura offers a range of boat-based dolphin and whale watching experiences departing from coastal towns like Corralejo and Morro Jable. These tours vary in duration and style—from relaxed catamaran cruises with drinks, snacks, and optional snorkelling stops, to shorter speedboat or Zodiac adventures through the Jandía Natural Park. Most outings include live guides who share fascinating insights about dolphins, pilot whales, and other marine wildlife that live in the waters surrounding the island.
These excursions are especially popular with families. Many of the boats provide life jackets for all ages, and several tours offer hotel pick-up services or keep group sizes small for a more comfortable and personal experience. Age restrictions usually start at around age 3, and children must be accompanied by an adult. The boats are generally safe and stable, and some tours offer fun extras like snorkelling gear or a quick visit near Lobos Island if the sea conditions allow.
Prices typically range from around €38 for a short 1.5-hour trip to about €75 for longer, more inclusive tours that might offer snacks and drinks. While sightings of dolphins or whales can’t be guaranteed, the success rate is quite high year-round. Many visitors describe the experience as magical and unforgettable, especially for kids who get the thrill of seeing dolphins leaping or swimming alongside the boat in their natural habitat.
