Tina Whale Watching La Gomera: The Ultimate Marine Experience

More Than Just a Whale Tour:
Tina excursions understand that it’s not just about the marine life but also the entire sea journey. Guests can enjoy complimentary drinks and tapas, with options even for gluten-free and vegetarian diets. But remember, while it’s a delightful addition, it’s not a lavish buffet.
