Why Tenerife is a key location for the observation of cetaceans?
A marine sanctuary: The south west coast of Tenerife is home to a variety of cetacean species, both resident and migratory, that find refuge in these waters throughout the year.
Great biodiversity: The Teno-Rasca Marine Strip, situated in the southwest of Tenerife between Punta de Rasca and Punta de Teno, is renowned for its rich cetacean diversity in Europe. This region is home to the largest resident population of tropical pilot whales in Europe, along with various species of sea turtles and a diverse range of other marine creatures, including fin whales, various dolphin species, sperm whales, and more.
Global importance: In 2011, this area became the third worldwide and the first in Europe to be designated as a Special Area of Conservation, known for its unique features of marine life. It is also part of the Natura 2000 Network, which seeks to preserve habitats and species threatened in Europe.
International recognitions: The Teno-Rasca Area has been recognized as a 'Hope Spot' by Mission Blue and as a 'Whale Heritage Site' by the World Cetacean Alliance, highlighting its global significance.
Regulated activities: All leisure activities and professionals in this area are strictly regulated. The sighting of whales should be done in a sustainable way, respecting standards of speed, distance, duration of the sightings, and other measures to prevent any interference in the natural behavior of the animals. Abiding by these rules is essential to preserve the peace and well-being of cetaceans, ensuring an experience navy that is responsible and respectful.
Your choice matters: When you choose a company authorized and committed to the protection of the fauna, contribute to guarantee the respect of the rules of conservation in the Area of Teno-Rasca.
A sustainable future: The conservation of this protected area promotes the growth and the preservation of populations of whales, ensuring a healthy marine environment and promote harmony between human beings and marine life.
What are the chances of seeing whales?
In the south of Tenerife we have one of the most stable resident populations in Europe.
On the tours, the likelihood of seeing cetaceans is very high, at around 99% throughout the year.
We always work in a legal and respectful way, without persecuting or disturbing the animals. They are wild and free animals. That is why we cannot guarantee specific species.
Is it suitable for children?
- It’s the ideal activity.
- There is no minimum age (and babies go free)
- Children usually enjoy underwater scenery.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. The communication and organisation were excellent, and our guide Daniela was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about what she does.
