Alexander von Humboldt II:
Agadir (MA) - Santa Cruz de Tenerife (ES)

22 October - 30 October 2016

Sail from Morocco to the Canary Islands to re-charge your batteries for the coming winter! Enjoy beautiful weather and reliable winds, watch for dolphins in crystal-blue waters and discover the tropical nature of Tenerife.

Ports

Agadir, situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, boasts 10 km of sandy beaches which you can enjoy for over 300 sunny days a year. After lazing about for awhile, take a refreshing dip in the ocean and take some time to visit the Berber Heritage Museum. Not to forget a beautiful marina with its Moorish architecture!

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the shared capital of the Canary Islands, together with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The central square Plaza de España is a real eye-catcher, situated between the ocean and the old, bustling city centre. Lose yourself in the crowded alleys, find a spot on one of the terraces, or leave town and discover the rugged volcanic landscape. The museum of Nature and Man is worth a visit. Chances are you’ll find pilot whales in the waters around Tenerife, so keep an eye out!
