About

“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 founded in 2023 by Janek Andre with a clear goal: to promote a more environmentally respectful way of observing cetaceans, with less noise and fewer emissions, and to bring people closer to these magnificent beings in a responsible manner.

The project was born from a deep admiration for whales and dolphins, and from the urgent need to transform the current whale-watching model, which in many cases does not respect cetaceans or their fragile marine environment.

At WeWhale, we believe that whale watching should not be carried out on large ferries that generate a significant environmental footprint. These vessels contribute substantially to both acoustic and chemical pollution in the oceans, degrading the habitat of cetaceans and many other marine species.

That is why we advocate a different approach: for us, the only acceptable way to conduct whale-watching tours is by being respectful toward both animals and the environment. To achieve this, we must go one step further by redesigning our vessels and turning them into quieter boats with lower CO₂ emissions. In this way, we prevent cetaceans from being affected by underwater noise, reduce pollution caused by oils and fuels, and offer passengers a more pleasant experience, free from disturbing engine noise and odors.

Another key pillar of WeWhale is raising awareness through environmental education and science. On every trip, we collect scientific data to expand knowledge about cetaceans and their environment and actively contribute to their conservation. Our philosophy is that whale watching should serve not only for enjoyment, but also to learn, reflect, and connect with the ocean. For this reason, all our experiences include experts on board who interpret animal behavior, answer questions, and share their passion with participants.

The entire WeWhale team shares the motivation of bringing the world of cetaceans closer to people and showcasing the beauty of the ocean through small-group excursions. During the experience, participants learn how to better understand animal behavior and the importance of protecting the marine ecosystem.

In addition, every booking supports conservation efforts: part of the income goes to the WeWhale Association, our sister organization, through which we promote cetacean protection projects.
