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.

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.

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

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. .. All, my fault...

Please, return from boat tour Los Gigantes to Los Gigantes...
