About
WeWhale encourages society to engage with whales and dolphins by offering whale observation experiences which directly contribute to cetacean protection.
“Whales and dolphins are spiritual and highly intelligent beings, and we have a responsibility to care for them.
As platform connecting cetaceans with humans, we have responsibility at the very core of everything we do.
Responsibility means – no matter what – integrity with the ocean.”
-WeWhale’s Founder Janek Andre
WeWhale was created by Janek Andre to build the first noise and emission-free whale and dolphin watching fleet worldwide.
Our model is based on the deep belief that whale watching and observation serves to create awareness for cetaceans among the public. However, we believe whale and dolphin watching cannot be done with ferry-like ships, diesel or fuel engines.
The only way to offer animal and eco-friendly observation tours is to go a step further and remodel vessels to become silent and CO2 neutral boats. As a consequence, animals are not disturbed by noise pollution, lubricants don’t contaminate the ocean and people don’t experience seasickness because of exhaust smells and engine noise.
Our team is motivated to bring the world of whales and dolphins and the beauty of the ocean closer to human understanding, taking our guests out to sea, in small groups, and explaining about the ocean and the importance of its habitants.
Every booked experience reserved by our guests directly helps to fund non-profit related protection projects, as a proportion of our profits is distributed to the work undertaken by our sister organisation, WeWhale Association.
Our Mission
To make the world a noise and emission–free whale and dolphin watching place, where animals can thrive, and humans can learn.
