Pura Vida, whales, dolphins and adventures
The Pura Vida is a beautiful traditional boat adapted for sightings with small groups of people in which we offer you between 3 and 4 hours of navigation in 2 daily departures.
Our main objective is to practice sustainable navigation, 100% respectful of the environment and animals. That is why we are associated with the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism.
Our style is chill-out navigation, our excursions are for small groups that enjoy space and a good atmosphere, as well as good food and drink. The careful choice of music adapts to each moment so that you have a memorable experience.
Once everyone is well settled on board, we head out to sea about 5 miles from the coast, to locate ourselves in the area with the most potential for sightings.
After enjoying the beauty of the different cetaceans we go to the coast, to a quiet place where we can drop anchor next to a protected cove where you can swim.
And what better after a bath, in such clean water, than a good picnic?
This is Pura Vida !!!
Whale watching and Los Órganos are the two most popular excursions on La Gomera island.

We've been in couple in this lovely tiny boat, a confy bed was on the front of the boat, the thing really good about pura vida excursion is that they respect the animals, we crossed other boat from other compagnies and they were not turning off the engine when get really close to whales and almost crush one of them. So please try to choose this company instead of others more touristic. The crew was lovely and fun ! They prepared a picnic of simple tapas but good! We saw a lot of pilot whales it was really magical, they put classic music which give the moment even more intense !AMagd, "Super cool !" Tripadvisor 2020
Fantastic way to spend a few hours with sea mammals We had a wonderful experience with our afternoon on the Pura Vida. The crew (mother and daughter) were very friendly, knowledgeable, safety conscious and environmentally aware. We were able to spend hours on the boat, watching schools of striped dolphins, pilot whales and an osprey and a baby loggerhead sea turtle. They were very friendly and approached the boat often, especially when the engines were low. We knew when they had had enough because they swam off quickly. We had the option of staying at sea for longer or to go to a cove for a swim - we decided our afternoon on the water was going well and to avoid a swim. We were not disappointed and even at sea were able to enjoy a small picnic of prepared food and drinks - lovely!Paul Johnston-Knight Google Maps, November 2019

A truly magnificent experience. Totally worth it. Small groups in a cozy atmosphere. Mother and daughter are in business for a year and offer a unique and professional whale watching experience. They communicate with other whale watching boats to guarantee for finding the whales that are around. Had a stop for a picnic, a glass of wine and a swim at the end. Perfect day!Amadeus van Schie Google Maps, December 2019
