Tenerife Whale & Dolphin Observation
(Shared Group Experience)
Join us on Esiel, our eco-friendly hybrid vessel (the most silent on the island), as we explore the waters and wildlife off the west coast of Tenerife (declared a Whale Heritage Site in 2021). You’re in one of the top places in the world for observing whales and dolphins all year round.
The tour consists of a small group of up to max. 8 people. ‘Esiel’ is equipped with a hydrophone and a 360-degree camera to provide the best possible impressions during the observation of whales and dolphins.
The most commonly seen species on our experiences are short finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, but more than 20 different cetacean species, some resident and some transients, have been recorded in waters around Tenerife.
Experiences have a high sighting rate of 99.9% for whales and dolphins. Every day is different, sometimes we encounter one species, others we could see up to six different ones.
Thanks to our noise reduced navigation, hydrophone, and 360-degree camera, you will experience an observation tour in a very special atmosphere. Our guests are accompanied by an experienced skipper and biologist who explain everything about whales and dolphins.
In addition, you’ll enjoy a scenic ride along the beautiful coast of ‘Los Acantilados de Los Gigantes’.
Times: 9.30am or 12.30pm
We depart from Pontoon 1 at Puerto Deportivo Los Gigantes, in the west coast of Tenerife, and return after 2.5 hours.
Water, organic refreshments, snacks from local gourmet providers and fresh fruits are included within this trip.

Spotted dolphins next to our hybrid boat “Esiel” in Tenerife
Shot with our underwater camera, we actually have the opportunity to get a glimpse of an idea of their world and how these animals enjoy being in groups navigating through the open ocean.
