Our tip: You can find all whale watching providers on La Gomera on the Just Whale Watching website.
Whale watching with Oceano Gomera
The sustainable whale watching provider OCEANO goes out to sea in small, typically Canarian and beautifully decorated fishing boats to observe the marine mammals. There is no tourist program or anything similar - instead it is pure whale watching for 4 hours. Always on board: a maximum of 10 guests, 1 German-speaking guide and an experienced captain. Oceano is the only provider to have a "real" office, in the immediate vicinity of the famous Cacatua bar in Vueltas.
Whale Watching with Amazonia
Juan, the captain and owner of the whale watching company AMAZONIA, knows the waters in the Valle ran Rey like the back of his hand. As a former fisherman, he knows exactly where to look for the whales and dolphins. They go out in a solid boat with a sunshade and seating, and when the weather is good, Juan likes to take a swim break. And a vegetarian paella with accompanying drinks is always on board.
