Book Your Cumbre Vieja Safari in El Paso, Canary Islands

On this 2h30m–3h sea adventure from El Paso in the Canary Islands, you search for cetaceans and cruise past the most recognizable coastal points of La Palma-including La Cueva Bonita, Poris de Candelaria, Playa de la Veta and the lava delta created by the recent volcano-aboard the Fancy II motor catamaran, where you can enjoy four distinct areas: the upper deck with spectacular (slightly livelier) views, the open bow ideal for sunbathing and close dolphin encounters, the stern with tables and seats where you can bring food and dine in peace, and the underwater viewing area that the crew opens at key moments so you can watch cetaceans from below as they jump and interact with the boat; soft drinks and water are included in the excursion and additional alcoholic drinks and snacks are available to purchase at the boat bar.

Summary: It was an incredible adventure with an exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable crew! We had the opportunity to witness whales, various fish, the untamed sea, cliffs, as well as coves and unique beaches. We explored the new volcano and what it did to the island and spent a truly extended time on the journey. The crew provided us with beverages and a wealth of fascinating information. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat – the crew did an outstanding job.
