Tenerife is home to resident pilot whales and dolphins, offering some of the highest sighting rates in Europe. Our captains possess advanced licenses, enabling us to venture further offshore and potentially encounter larger whale species when conditions permit.
Experience whales and dolphins in their natural environment on a tour that strictly adheres to a NO CHASE policy, ensuring 100% RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL interactions. The marine life chooses their level of engagement with us, and they do!
Discover Tenerife's unique Glass Bottom catamaran. Each encounter is distinct, providing unforgettable moments.
Our pioneering No-Chase approach allows wildlife to behave naturally. Witnessing whales and dolphins voluntarily approach the vessel is a truly special experience, fostering authentic encounters while contributing to the protection of the animals that make Tenerife so remarkable.
We are proud to partner with Neptunes Pirates UK and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK.
