Whale watching tour in a RIB boat with specialised guide

The weather in Tenerife, especially at sea, can be very variable. We recommend you to bring comfortable clothes, some warm clothes, swimsuit, towel, cap, high sun protection, sunglasses. You can also bring your own snorkelling equipment.

• If you want to modify the date of the activity, changes are possible with 24 hours notice depending on the availability of the company.
• 100% refund of the total amount of the booking in case of cancellation at least 24 hours before the activity.
• Penalty of 100% of the total amount of the booking in case of cancellation within 24 hours prior to the activity.
• If there is a case of unsuitable weather conditions or force majeure beyond the control of the service provider that prevents the correct provision of the service, we try to give you plenty of notice to avoid any unnecessary travel to the port. However, sometimes we have to cancel tours just before departure time. If the tour is cancelled, you will be able to rebook for another day, or we will refund your booking.
• In the event of non-compliance with any of the restrictions, the company reserves the right to refuse admission, and no refund will be provided.
• Out of respect for others and to avoid delays in subsequent excursions, we kindly request punctuality and arriving in advance at the designated location. If the customer is absent after 5 minutes past the agreed departure time, it will be considered as a cancellation of the contracted services, and this will be sufficient reason to apply the corresponding cancellation policy.

This is the boat that offers the best chance of spotting a wider variety of species.

Thanks to its size and flexibility, we can explore different areas during a single trip and adapt more effectively to sea conditions.

This does not guarantee sightings of specific species, but it does increase the chances of seeing them compared to boats that follow more restricted routes.

Species regularly observed:

• Short-finned pilot whale
• Bottlenose dolphin
• Green turtle

Species occasionally observed:

• Atlantic spotted dolphin
• Common dolphin

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.

In the south of Tenerife we have one of the most stable resident populations in Europe.

On our trips, the probability of seeing cetaceans is very high, around 99% all year round.

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.

• There is no legal minimum age.
• But as it is a zodiac with specific seats, we recommend a minimum of 3 years.
• Children often like the feeling of sailing in the zodiac.
• Not recommended for pregnant women.

The truth is that there is no exact answer.

Traditionally, the morning is recommended because of the sea conditions.
But with our experience, we can say that we see animals both in the morning and in the afternoon. In fact, sometimes we have had more surprising encounters in the afternoon departure.

Nothing in the ocean is 100% predictable.
It depends on the day, the conditions and... luck.

Both options include whale watching, a specialist guide, drinks, a snack and a stop for a swim.

The main difference lies in the amount of time available during the outing.

2 hour tour
Perfect if you're short on time. It includes whale watching and a stop for a swim, at a slightly more lively pace.

3-hour tour
It allows you to enjoy the experience at a more leisurely pace, spend more time observing your surroundings and stay longer for a swim.

In both cases, the main aim remains the same: to observe wildlife in a respectful manner and enjoy the ocean in small group.

Shared tour
The most affordable option for enjoying the experience in a small group.

Private tour
The boat is reserved exclusively for you, allowing us to tailor the approach and pace of the trip to your interests and preferences.
