Whales & Dolphins

Whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife all year: choose your boat, shared or private, with a swim stop on most trips.

Tenerife is one of the few places in the world with resident pilot whales, which live all year in the channel between the island and La Gomera, and dolphins are seen on most trips. That is why whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife works any day of the year, with a licensed crew.

Choose the boat you like best: the glass-bottom boat to see them underwater too, the sailing boat or catamaran in a small group with food and drinks on board, the big shared boats from Puerto Colón, the most affordable way to take the whole family, the route to the Los Gigantes cliffs, or a private boat with a skipper just for you.

All trips sail along the south coast in sheltered waters, and most include a swim stop, which children remember most. Nothing wild is guaranteed, but the pilot whales here are not migratory and are seen on the vast majority of trips.

Frequently asked questions

Which boat should I choose?

The sailing boat and the catamaran go in small groups with food and drinks on board. The big shared boats are the most affordable way to bring the whole family. The underwater-viewing boat is the shortest, two hours, with a window below the surface. Los Gigantes is the longest route, up to the cliffs. And the private boat is yours, with the route you want.

Are we guaranteed to see whales?

Nothing wild is guaranteed, but the pilot whales here are resident, not migratory, so they are seen on the vast majority of trips all year round.

What is the difference between shared and private?

Shared means a set departure with other people, priced per person. Private means the boat, the skipper and the route are yours, priced per boat: the bigger the group, the less per person.

Is it a good plan with children?

Yes. The catamaran and the big boats are wide and stable, and the swim stop is what children remember. Tell us their ages with your plan: on the shared boats they usually pay a reduced fare.

What if we get seasick?

The routes run through sheltered waters. If you tend to get seasick, take something an hour before, stay on deck looking at the horizon and choose a wide boat such as the catamaran.
