The harbour

Before becoming a major tourist area, Los Cristianos was a sleepy fishing village. While some fishing boats remain, they have been joined by international yachts, catamarans, ferries and hydrofoils. The short trip over to the neighbouring island of La Gomera is recommended for its peace and serenity.

Whale and dolphin trips

It’s an unforgettable experience when you first spot a dolphin or whale pop up from the surface of the water. Sailing boats, catamarans and glass-bottomed boats will take visitors out to see the whales and dolphins for which the area is famous. There’s a chance to spot pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, sperm whales and more than 20 other species.

Mount Teide National Park

There is an incredible range of plants and animal life, excellent hiking trails and awe-inspiring views in the Mount Teide National Park ‘ an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
