The 15 Best Spain Safaris Tours

1.Los Cristianos Respectful No-Chase Whale and Dolphin Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 12,782 reviews · 2 hours · from $29Our pick

Sail from Puerto Los Cristianos aboard the Bahriyeli, a large sailing ketch with open viewing decks and an indoor salon. Government-certified multilingual guides explain pilot whales, dolphins, turtles, and the local sea life. The strict no-chase policy leaves the animals in control of every encounter.

“It was a very good trip, the boat was clean and there comfortable. The guides were informative and helpful, the boat wasn’t full and this helped with getting a good view, I think it would be different if fill as sone seats were in the middle meaning it would be difficult to get a good view and as with many trips it was a ‘first come first served’ basis for seats”

“First time we did this tour and can recommend it. We were picked up on time, taken to the meeting point where we were put into country groups so that the guides could explain what was going to happen in our language. Off we went and wow the scenery we saw was stunning. Cofete beach was nice though perhaps half an hour was a little long to stop there as there wasn't anything to do except look at the waves and walk on the sand. The ride over to the cove by the lighthouse was great fun and the cove was stunning. Shame the lighthouse was no longer open but…”

It’s worth taking a day away from being in Granada for this 7-hour excursion (8:30-15:30) where you have multiple stops to see beautiful views and be immersed in nature. We appreciated the stops to see different aspects of the area and enjoyed the varying temps at different altitudes. We highly recommend layers as it gets increasing colder the higher you go, even on a sunny day. The group size was perfect with 8 plus our guide, Daud. We were in a Mercedes sprinter van, which handled the off-the-beaten path roads very well. Daud drove…”

“La Gomera was stunning, well worth a visit and this tour was definitely preferable to a coach trip! Bit chaotic at the beginning but understandable as ferry times had changed. I thought we were getting an English speaking guide which would have certainly enhanced the trip but unfortunately not. The food was plain but nice. Would recommend if you want to see La Gomera on a fun day trip”
