- Meet at the port 30 minutes before departure. The operator's office is at the port entrance on the right, and staff wear yellow T-shirts.

- Smoking, e-cigarettes, alcohol, glass, speakers and touching the animals are banned.
Where to stay for it
Los Gigantes is on the west coast, far from the south airport; for the choice between west, south and north see where to stay in Tenerife. From the south, the catamaran is easier. All trips are in the boat trips comparison and in whale watching.
Typical mistakes
- Assuming every "Los Gigantes" trip leaves from Los Gigantes: the catamaran does not.
- Arriving at the last minute, with a full car park.
- Bringing glass bottles or a speaker.
