A memorable, private boat tour Los Gigantes, Tenerife, Spain.
I remember a magic, private boat tour Los Gigantes in Tenerife, Spain. It was a few years ago. We left before lunchtime. The friend who had invited me for the private excursion off Los Gigantes had to show a club membership card to enter the Marina. The Marina Los Gigantes is a port for all sorts of sea going crafts. Most of them were like the boat we had.
Many a different boat tour Los Gigantes is leaving the Marina as I've mentioned, already in my page Los Gigantes.
Very few yachts which I saw in the marina were like the luxury boats which I remember from MonteCarlo or from Costa Blanca/Spain. Perhaps, those were all out on day trips on the Atlantic, somewhere. There was one that had anchored in the Marina. It looked almost like the graphic here. It took people out on a boat tour Los Gigantes for whale and dolphin watching. That sounds great. Doesn't it?I had never ever been aware of such Tenerife excursions. After we had bought fresh water for our boat tour Los Gigantes at a shop just outside our Tenerife Marina,
We fed some dry bread to brownish fish. The Marina Los Gigantes bay was full of them. You may see in the photo beside how they were fighting for the food. And, look, how many they are... They welcomed the crumbs very much. We undid the ropes that secured the boat to the poles on the quay. Now, the boat was almost shipshape. As I helped, it went quite fast. Now, the small 20 footer was almost ready. It was a nice little boat. No sails, though. How much would I love to go sailing in Tenerife... A 5 hour day trip would also be fine.

The moment the small vessel was making its way out of Los Gigantes harbor, I was excited like a kid that gets taken to the Walt Disney Park. Now our trip Los Gigantes had started.
I still kept on dreaming of old sailing ships. I would have gone onto one to head off to any destination.
Our boat seemed so small when we went past the giant Los Gigantes cliffs. They really were almost black. They even looked menacing under the Tenerife sun. One sees them actually best, from a boat on the water. What an adventure...
It was quite sensational to feel the movements of the vessel above the waves, so close, during our boat trip Los Gigantes. It was so relaxing.
Getting warmed by the sun and cooled down by a gentle breeze at the same time was utmost bliss during my boat tour Los Gigantes. Dangerous, I know, because, one easily may catch a terrible sunburn, especially in Tenerife. At the same time, seeing the white foam in the stern of a shallow boat after it has cut through the waves makes one realize a certain power. Just figure, to be able to move forward in so much water and, to conquer the waves... We, finally, were out on the open sea. For most of the afternoon... We saw the Isle of La Palma. It seemed so close. I wished we could have done a boat tour Los Gigantes to that Canary island. But, a license was needed for that, which we didn't have. The high light of our boat tour (off) Los Gigantes was a brunch in Masca bay. Other boats had anchored at "our" bay. We had to watch the movement of the boat because here and there small rocks were visible just below or above the surface of the water. Also, the distance from other boats had to be watched. The boat, didn't keep still, you know. I even went for a short swim while the anchor kept the boat secured. That swim was good. Not that one needed to cool down... The boat went a bit fast back to Los Gigantes spraying us with sea water and making us a bit wet.

We saw some dolphins from further away. Nope, no whales. Here is one of the public excursions in Tenerife that pass by the the same area we went to. You may book a boat tour to the Mazca bay with them.It leaves from Las Americas by small coach to border a glass bottom boat taking you onto a boat tour Los Gigantes. They also depart at Playa de la Arena - Pto.Santiago. (That's Los Gigantes)To find out the timetable, please telephone: 922 86 06 71 or 922 86 04 41 or 616 59 70 11

The boat owner friend of mine lives in Los Gigantes. Needless to tell you, that he loves it. He also owns a holiday apartment there that is forever booked out, he said. We had yummy supper in a small Italian restaurant in Los Gigantes. I must get in touch with my boat owner friend to find out what it was called. I had lost touch with him. Don't ask. ..
