La Gomera Whale Watching, A New Boat Trip Coming Soon
Quick and honest heads-up: our La Gomera whale watching boat trip is not bookable right now, the boat we worked with changed hands. The good news? We are actively securing a new small-boat whale watching trip in La Gomera, and it is going to be a great one, keeping everything people loved: calm waters, small groups, resident pilot whales and real La Gomera vibes, not a crowded party boat. Here is why La Gomera is such a special place to see whales, what is coming, and how to enjoy the island right now.

🐋 A New La Gomera Whale Trip Is On The Way
The small-boat whale watching trip we used to run has changed owner, so we cannot sell it at the moment. We are working hard to bring back an even better La Gomera whale watching experience, still calm, small and authentic, the way this island does it best.
Want us to let you know the moment the new trip is live? Message us on WhatsApp and we will keep you posted. In the meantime, our La Gomera day trips below are running and are a brilliant way to see the island.
Whale Watching In La Gomera, Calm And Authentic
La Gomera might be one of the smaller Canary Islands, but for peaceful, authentic whale watching it truly stands out. While Tenerife has plenty of whale watching tours, La Gomera's charm is its quiet, small-boat feel, you share the sea with a handful of fellow nature lovers, not a loud, crowded catamaran. The waters here are home to resident pilot whales year-round, and the coast of the island stays in view the whole time, which keeps it calm and comfortable.
Why La Gomera Is Special For Whales
The deep waters just off La Gomera hold a stable, resident population of pilot whales, which is why sightings here are so reliable. Add bottlenose dolphins, the occasional rarer whale, and a quiet, respectful boat, and you get one of the most genuine marine experiences in the Canaries. It is exactly this feel, calm, close to nature, far from the party-boat scene, that we want to protect in the new trip we are setting up.
Enjoy La Gomera Right Now
While the whale trip is on hold, La Gomera is still very much worth a visit, and these trips are running. Both are easy to reach by ferry from the south of Tenerife and show you the magic of the island.

See Tenerife whalesA Commitment To Eco-Friendly Whale Watching
Whale watching only stays special if it is done right. The trips we work with in the Canaries hold the proper licences for nature-friendly whale watching and keep a respectful distance from the animals, because these are wild creatures in their natural home. That eco-first, ethical approach is non-negotiable for the new La Gomera trip we are putting together, protecting the marine life is the whole point.
