Beschrijving
The small island of La Gomera is located 40 km from the island of Tenerife. The ferry transfer between the two islands offers great opportunities to see many pelagic birds like Kuhls Pijlstormvogel, Kleine Jager and Kleine Pijlstormvogel. And also some species of cetaceans are almost guaranteed. Among them the resident Pilot Whales.

Toegang
Use best the ferry. The slower the better. It is good to stay outdoors. The Catamaran is too fast and does not offer good observation places, so avoid them. Also whale watching tours might be good for pelagic birds but however, they often remain closer to the shore and I do not know if they might increase the overall disturbance to cetaceans.

Look for a sheltered place and scan the sea with your binoculars. Also flying fish, tuna and turtels might be spotted. It is worth to look for hunting groups of tuna, dolphins and seabirds ( Kuhls Pijlstormvogel are dominant during summer times, but expect the unexpected ;-)
