Atlantic Star, Quick Facts
What Makes The Atlantic Star Different
If seeing whales or dolphins is the main reason you came to Tenerife, this is the trip we would send our own friends and family on. Ten guests instead of a catamaran packed with 100+ tourists means space, calm, and real personal service. Grab a soft cushion, take a drink, and let the captain do the work. It is a real sailing yacht, though on most trips the sails stay down and the captain motors so you can simply relax; when the weather is right, they go up. Watch the trip on video to feel it.
Briefing done, drink in hand 🧐 "Okay, so where exactly are these whales hiding? Any minute now, right?"
Kas Tenerifel On Vaalavaatlus Raha Tagasi Garantiiga?
Yes, and this is the one. Most boats will not offer a guarantee, because they cannot promise it. The Atlantic Star can. For just 15€ per person, you are fully covered.
You see whales or dolphins. Guaranteed at least one of the two, and often guests see both.
If you see neither. You get your money back on the trip, or you join another trip for free.
Fair for everyone. The 15€ is a non-refundable insurance fee. In reality, sightings happen on almost every trip, because the pilot whales here live in these waters all year.
So if whales are your priority, you are not gambling your holiday money. That peace of mind is exactly why so many guests pick this boat over a cheaper trip with no promise.
There They Are
And then it happens. The captain has done this thousands of times and knows where the pods hang out, so the boat heads straight for the right water. Somebody points, everybody stands, and that first moment of a fin breaking the surface never gets old, however many times the crew has seen it.
"There! Look, look..." 🐋 That first fin breaking the surface never gets old. Told you the captain knew exactly where to go.
This Is How It Really Looks
The photo beside this text is a real guest photo, not a polished studio shot, so you can see honestly how close the pilot whales come. Want more proof? Scroll to the reviews: dozens of real guests have added their own whale and dolphin photos from this exact trip.
Not zoomed, not staged 📷 A real sighting from the deck, shot by a guest on this exact trip. The reviews below are full of them.
Meet The Pilot Whales
The whales you will most likely see are pilot whales, residents of these waters all year round. To be clear, you will not see them underwater like in this photo on the trip, we added it so you know what they look like up close. They usually travel in family groups, mothers with their young, and sometimes 20 or more together.
The locals 🐋 Resident pilot whales live off the south coast all year round. That is exactly why sightings here are so reliable.
The Dolphin Bonus
If you are lucky, you also meet bottlenose dolphins. They tend to be more playful and curious than the whales, often racing along right beside the boat and surfing the bow wave. Whales are the main event here, but a dolphin escort is a lovely bonus.
The escort 🐬 Bottlenose dolphins are curious and fast. When they show up, they often surf the bow wave right beside you.

Sandwiches, Snacks And Drinks
The hostess serves fresh food while you cruise back along the coast, glass in hand.
Swim Break In A Calm Bay
After the wildlife, the boat anchors at El Puertito, a sheltered bay, for a swim. Jump straight off the boat, float in the calm water, and just enjoy it. Honest note: this stop is about cooling off and relaxing, not world-class snorkelling. There is gear on board if you want it, but do not expect a coral reef. Come for the swim and the calm.
Cool off, not coral 💦 The stop is about a lovely swim in calm water. Snorkel gear is on board, but do not expect a reef.

Drinks are unlimited too: water, soft drinks, wine, beer, sangria and cava. It is not a fancy buffet, but it is fresh, good, and there is plenty.
Fresh, good, plenty 🥪 Sandwiches with several fillings, snacks, and unlimited drinks, wine, sangria and cava included.
Üks Aus Tõde Tenerifel Toimuvate Paadireiside Kohta
Almost all licensed boat trips here, whether 3, 6 or 9 hours, follow a similar routine: watch whales and dolphins, then anchor in a calm bay for a swim and some food. Boats do not sail to other islands or drop you on hidden beaches, it is mostly not legal and there are no real spots that make it worthwhile. So the trip is about the marine life, the open sea, and relaxing along the south coast. On this boat, you just get to do it in a small group instead of a crowd.
Best For Families, Couples, Or Simply A Calm Day
For couples. The 12:30 and 15:30 trips are the most relaxed, usually mostly adults on board. Soft cushions, unlimited drinks, and the ocean to yourselves. It has even been used for proposals, though for that moment we would point you to a privaatne päikeseloojangu reis.
For families. Families are welcome on all trips, but 09:30 is usually best. The boat is safe, stable and child-friendly with life jackets on board, and because it does not lean over hard the ride stays smooth. Children are ages 1 to 9, babies under 1 join free (note it when booking and bring ID), and everyone counts toward the 10-guest limit. We keep children off our website photos on purpose, but you will find plenty of real family reviews below.
For a calm day, not a party. This is a relaxed, intimate trip, not a party boat. Want a louder day out? Club Canary has other boats for that, just ask. If you would rather enjoy the whales in peace with a small, friendly group, this is the one.
Vastutustundlik Vaalavaatlus Tenerifel
The Atlantic Star is a quiet sailing boat, so it can often get closer to the whales than big motor boats without disturbing them. This trip is for people who love nature and want to do it the right way. Swimming with whales or dolphins is not allowed in Tenerife, here is Club Canary's guide on swimming with dolphins in Tenerife.
Quiet by design 🌋 A sailing boat slips close without stressing the pod, with Mount Teide watching from the horizon.

Whale Watching Questions (FAQ)
Real answers to the questions people ask most about whale watching on the Atlantic Star. Still unsure? Chat with our local team on WhatsApp, we help fast.
Mida eristab Atlantic Star teistest vaalavaatlusretkedest Tenerifel?
Kaks suurt asja. Esiteks, see võtab vaid 10 külalist, nii et see tundub personaalne ja rahulik, mitte nagu 100 turistiga täistopitud katamaraan. Teiseks, see on ainus paat Tenerifel, kuhu saab lisada rahagarantii vaalavaatluseks. Väike grupp, suur tõenäosus vaalade nägemiseks ja teie raha on kaitstud. Sellist kombinatsiooni on saarel raske mujalt leida.
Kas Tenerifel on vaalade vaatlusretk rahaga tagasi garanteeritud?
Jah, ja see on see. Sest 15€ inimese kohta Võite lisada garantii. Kui te vaalaid ega delfiine ei näe, saate reisi eest raha tagasi (miinus väike kindlustustasu) või saate tasuta osaleda mõnel teisel retkel. Enamik paate seda ei paku, sest nad ei ole piisavalt kindlad. Atlantic Star suudab seda pakkuda, sest peaaegu igal retkel õnnestub neid näha.
Kas ma näen Tenerifel tõesti vaalu või delfiine?
Tõenäoliselt küll. Tenerife lõunaranniku lähedal elab aastaringselt püsiv pilootvaalade koloonia, seega on neid seal igal aastaajal. Kõige sagedamini näed pilootvaalu, aga mõnikord ka mängulisi afaliine. Looduses pole midagi 100% kindlat, just sellepärast ongi olemas vabatahtlik garantii. Kui nende nägemine on teile oluline, lisage see ja olge muretu.
Miks suured ettevõtted nagu reisikorraldajad või hotellid ei müü väikest vaalavaatluspaati nagu see?
Asi on lihtne: tegemist on mahuga. Suured reisikorraldajad ja hotellide vastuvõtulauad müüvad päevas sadu kohti, seega vajavad nad suuri laevu, kuhu mahub üle 100 inimese. Vaid 10 külalisega väikeste, isikupäraste reiside korraldamine on neile sellises mastaabis liiga tülikas, seega kasutavad nad vaikimisi suuri katamaraane. See ei tähenda, et väike paat oleks madalama kvaliteediga – vastupidi. Kohalik ettevõte nagu Club Canary suudab korraldada väikeseid, isikupäraseid reise, millega suured ettevõtted lihtsalt vaeva näha ei taha. Seetõttu tundubki see olevat peidetud pärl.
On see väike grupiline vaalade vaatlemise reis seaduslik ja litsentseeritud?
100%. Laeval Atlantic Star on ametlik vaalavaatluslitsents, mida tähistab kollane lipp sinise laevalogoga. Tegemist on täiesti seadusliku ja tunnustatud ekskursiooniga, mis algab laevalt Puerto Colón. Mõned inimesed näevad väikest paati, millel on garantii, ja arvavad, et see on liiga hea, et olla tõsi, kuid tegemist on täiesti seadusliku teenusega. Te saate lihtsalt sama seadusliku vaalavaatamise parema ja isiklikuma versiooni, millel on nõuetekohased load ja kogenud kohalik meeskond.
Kas Atlantic Star sobib hästi vaalade vaatlemiseks lastega ja perega?
Jah, peredele meeldib see. 09:30 reis on tavaliselt lastele kõige parem. Paat on stabiilne ja ei kalluta kõvasti, pardal on päästevestid ning meeskond vestleb ja mängib sageli lastega, et vanemad saaksid lõõgastuda. Lapsed on vanuses 1–9 aastat ja alla 1-aastased lapsed on tasuta (palun märkige see broneerimisel). See on rahulik ja hubane, mitte vali peopaat, täiuslik lõõgastavaks perepäevaks merel. Selles lehel te laste fotosid ei näe, jätame lapsed nende privaatsuse huvides tahtlikult oma veebisaidilt välja, kuid allpool leiate palju tõelisi perearvustusi külalistelt, kes jagasid oma kogemust.
Kas see on hea vaalavaatluspaadireis paaridele?
Väga palju. See 12:30 ja 15:30 reisid on kõige lõõgastavamad, tavaliselt enamasti täiskasvanud. Pehmed padjad, piiramatu jook, ookean teie päralt. Seda on broneeritud isegi abieluettepanekuteks. Kui soovite seda erilisemat hetke, küsige meilt lisa privaatne päikeseloojangu reis.
Mida hõlmab Atlantic Star vaala- ja delfiinivaatlusretk?
Palju hinna eest: piiramatult jooke (karastusjoogid, vein, õlu, sangria ja cava), värsked võileivad ja suupisted (soovi korral taimetoitlastele ja gluteenivabad), ujumis- ja snorgeldamispeatus koos varustusega, sõbralik ja kogenud meeskond. Vaalavaatlus on ainus tasuline lisateenus, 15 € inimese kohta.
Mis juhtub, kui mul hakkab paadis merehaigus?
Enamiku inimeste jaoks on see täiesti talutav. Paat püsib ranniku lähedal (maad näeb alati), reis kestab vaid umbes 3 tundi ja purjejaht liigub õrnalt. Ohutuse tagamiseks: sööge enne midagi, vältige alkoholi tarbimist enne ja võtke merehaiguse tablett 30 minutit enne laevale minekut. Kui tunnete end tundlikuna, istuge tagaosas, kus liikumine on kõige väiksem. Ujuma minek pausi ajal tavaliselt aitab.
Kas snorgeldamine on sellel reisil hea?
Olgem ausad: ujumispaus on rohkem jahutamiseks ja rahulikus lahes lõõgastumiseks kui maailmatasemel snorgeldamiseks. Pardal on varustus, kui seda soovid, kuid ärge oodake korallrahnu, mis on täis kalu. Tulge nautima mõnusat suplust ja rahu ning pidage igat märgatud kala boonuseks.
Kust Tenerifel väljub buss Atlantic Star?
From Värav 0 asukohaga Puerto Colón, Costa Adejes, Yubari sushi restorani ees. Costa Adejest ja Playa de las Américasest on lühike jalutuskäik või kiire taksosõit. Sadamas on parkimine (umbes 1,20€ tunnis) ja teie giid kohtab teid värava juures, et teid paadi juurde viia.
Kalender näitab piiratud arvul või välja müüdud, kas ma saan ikka veel viimasel hetkel broneerida?
Võib-olla tasub alati küsida. Meie veebikalender ei ole alati täielikult ajakohane, vabandust selle pärast. Kui kuupäev tundub piiratud või täis või soovite broneerida viimasel minutil, kirjutage meile kõigepealt numbrile WhatsApp tegeliku saadavuse kontrollimiseks. Sageli saame teile ikka koha leida, eriti kui saame inimesi kokku panna. Tipphooajal soovitame turvalisuse mõttes paar päeva ette broneerida.
Kas ma saan broneerida lennu Atlantic Star eraviisiliselt oma rühmale?
Jah. Kogu paadi saab tellida ainult teie grupile, mis on populaarne perede, pidustuste ja pulmaprooside seas. Vaata meie era-lennuk Atlantic Star tellimuslend, või saatke meile sõnum ja me seadistame selle.
Broneerite viimasel minutil või tundub, et kuupäev on täis? Kontrollige alati meie käest enne tegelikku saadavust, me saame teid sageli ikkagi paigutada.
Booking Policy And Guarantee Terms
Thank you for booking the Atlantic Star with Club Canary. These terms keep things fair for the small crew, the other guests and you, so every trip runs smoothly.
Deposit ja makse
Broneerige oma koht väikese ettemaksuga koodi Club Canary kaudu ja tasuge ülejäänud summa kohapeal, laeva pardal. Ettemaks tagab teile koha, kuid ei kata tühjaks jäänud kohti, kui te kohale ei ilmu.
Tühistamine ja ümberplaneerimine
Üksikisikud ja väikestel gruppidel (kuni 4 inimest): tasuta muudatused või tühistamised kuni 24 tundi enne reisi.
Suured rühmad (5 või enam inimest): tasuta muudatuste või tühistamiste tegemiseks palume teatada 48 tundi ette. Võtke ühendust office@clubcanary.com.
Hilinenud tühistamine ja kohale ilmumata jätmine
Tühistamiste eest, mis tehakse väljaspool tasuta tühistamisperioodi, kuid rohkem kui 6 tundi enne (suuremate rühmade puhul 24 tundi enne), võetakse tasu summas 50% eeldatavast lõppsummast.
Kohale ilmumata jätmise korral võetakse tasu 100% järelejäänud summast.
Late arrivals (up to 15 minutes past the meeting time) who show photographic proof at the meeting point are charged 65% of the balance, and we try to fit you on another boat or the next available trip when possible.
Ilm ja mereolud
This trip depends on suitable weather. If we have to cancel for unsuitable conditions, you can reschedule or get a full refund. If the Atlantic Star cannot sail and you cannot rebook, we try to arrange a spot on a similar boat where possible.
Whale Watching Guarantee Terms (Optional, 15€ Per Person)
Garantii hõlmab vaalu ja delfiine: teil on garanteeritud vähemalt ühe neist näha, mitte tingimata mõlemat. Tihti näevad külalised mõlemat. Kindlaid liike ei saa lubada, kuid kõige tavalisemad on pilootvaallased. Rohkem pilootvaala kohta.
Need on metsloomad. Vaatlus, isegi kui uime nähakse 30 meetri kauguselt, loetakse edukaks vaatluseks.
If the boat has to return early due to severe seasickness on board, the 15€ guarantee fee is refunded, but no further sighting compensation applies, as it is beyond our control.
Kui ebasoodsad ilmastikutingimused muudavad marsruuti või lühendavad reisi, garantii ei kehti. Lahendused arutatakse juhiga.
Garantii kehtib tavareisile, mitte haiguse, õnnetuse või ootamatute ilmamuutuste põhjustatud muudatustele.
If you chose the guarantee and saw no whales or dolphins, we refund the boat trip cost (the 15€ fee is your insurance cost and is not returned). We process this based on the captain's confirmation and any photos from the trip. Our team is not on the boat, so we rely on the honesty of the Atlantic Star crew, whom we fully trust.
Vastutus ja käitumine
Guests follow the crew's safety instructions at all times. The captain may adjust or end the trip for safety reasons. Please respect the animals, the boat and your fellow guests so everyone has a good day.
Abi
Vajan abi millegagi? E-post info@clubcanary.com või vestelge meie kohaliku meeskonnaga aadressil WhatsApp, every day from 08:00 to 22:00.
We do not include these terms to be difficult. They simply keep things fair for the small crew, the other guests and you. Thank you for booking with Club Canary, we cannot wait to get you out on the water.

Club Canary Aus Arvamus
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
If seeing whales or dolphins is the main thing you care about, this is the boat we recommend first. It is small, calm and personal, ten guests instead of a hundred, and the optional money back guarantee means you are not gambling your holiday on it.
We will be straight with you: it is not a party boat, and the snorkel stop is just a nice swim, not a reef. But for relaxed, real, small group whale watching in Tenerife, nothing we offer beats it. With only 10 seats per departure it books up fast, so lock in your day early.
Small boat, resident whales, and a guarantee nobody else offers. That is the smart way to whale watch.
