Collaborating with CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON FOUNDATION/NEPTUNE’S PIRATES, Bahriyeli invites you to an unforgettable experience on a two or three hour sail to visit Tenerife’s resident Pilot Whales and Dolphins in their own natural environment.
During the sail you will be able to see the breathtaking south coast of Tenerife, Mount Teide and also the chance of seeing many different species of whales and dolphins that are passing by on their migration route including Sperm Whales, Fin Whales, turtles, many different species of dolphins, Jelly Fish and marine Birds.
As we sail through the crystal-clear waters, keep your eyes peeled for the diverse array of marine life that call these waters home. From graceful sea turtles gliding effortlessly through the waves to magnificent seabirds soaring overhead, and seabirds such as the shearwater and Herons during their seasonal migrations. Our experienced guides will provide you with valuable insights into the behavior and characteristics of these incredible animals, enriching your understanding and appreciation each encounter offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the ocean ecosystem. Unlike traditional tours that prioritize getting as close as possible to the animals, we believe in maintaining a safe distance and allowing the whales and dolphins to interact naturally without disturbance. This approach not only ensures the well-being of the marine life but also creates a more authentic and memorable experience for our guests.
Not just observing marine life giving them the respect they deserve – you are forming a connection based on trust and mutual respect. Our commitment to a strict “no chase” policy means that we prioritize the well-being and comfort of the animals above all else. By not chasing or bothering the marine life, we create a safe and peaceful environment where they can thrive and express their natural behaviors. When you approach marine life with care and consideration, something truly magical happens. The animals begin to trust you and understand that you mean them no harm.
As a result, they may exhibit more natural behaviors, come closer to the boat, and even interact with you in their own curious and playful ways. This approach not only enhances your experience as a guest but also allows you to witness the beauty and grace of these creatures in a more authentic and meaningful manner. By earning the trust of the marine life, you may have the opportunity to witness behaviors that are rarely seen by those who do not prioritize respect and conservation and discover the incredible bond that can form between humans and marine life when approached with care and respect. Experience the joy of connecting with these magnificent animals in a way that honors their freedom and dignity. Together, let’s create a world where humans and marine life can coexist harmoniously, with mutual respect and understanding.

Great experience
"Great experience! We saw some whales on the day but sadly not dolphins. The staff was so nice and friendly which made the experience really cosy. Highly recommend doing this in Tenerife!"
Unforgettable experience in Tenerife
"I really loved the boat and the whole service from pick up to return was impeccable. Small group of people and generous on drinks,snacks and the Atlantic didn't fail to deliver whales and dolphins. These guys give their best... Michael the captain(I forgot his name) and Sisco are real care takers."
Just Brilliant!
"Fantastic trip. Highly recommended if you want to see whales and dolphins in their natural environment. The crew were brilliant, very informative and overall exceptional value."
Great adventure
"It was a really well planed trip, and the service was great! The staff was very friendly, and service minded. I would highly recommend you to go in this adventure!!"
Expectations absolutely fulfilled
"Excellent Trip, full recommendation. Whales are almost guaranteed, Tapas are fine and if they say "drinks included" they really mean it 🙂 We had a great time on the katamaran, finished by a nice stop in a small bay to go swimming and snorkeling. Michael and Andres were really polite and had a lot to tell about the whales and their habits."
"Excellent crew and captain; fast, comfortable boat, care taken over local wildlife, and we saw both dolphins (two, bottle-nosed) and whales (LOTS, pilot!) A real bonus to our short break on Costa Adeje. Definitely worth the money - highly recommended."
Loved this !
"Just back from the most amazing day! From the Initial pick up to the drop off, it was superb ! The guys couldn’t have been any nicer . We saw the best array of whales and dolphins , with the crew pointing them all us! Enjoyed a couple of glasses of cava and a swim in the sea when we anchored up! I want to do it all again tomorrow "
Outstanding service
"As you scroll through trip advisor you see quite a few companies with a solid wall of five star reviews, in the case of the Monte Cristo the reason is plain and simple. They make it their business to deliver a 1st class experience. The only reason I gave them five stars is that there wasn’t an option to give 6."
What a great day with the dolphins
"Our family went out on a trip with this amazing catamaran. The staff was great, really nice guys! We really liked the food too! Not like other boats just a sandwich. We enjoyed it a lot! One of the best trips we had on Tenerife."

When can you see whales & dolphins in Tenerife?
The best season for whale watching in Tenerife depends on the species of whale or dolphin you are interested in seeing. In general, the warmer months of the year, from May to October, are the best periods to go whale watching, as the water temperatures are higher and the whales and dolphins are more active.
Pilot whales can be seen in Tenerife year-round, but they are most commonly spotted in the summer months from June to September . Sperm whales can also be seen throughout the year, but they are more commonly spotted from May to October . Killer whales , also known as orcas, are less common and are typically spotted from June to September .
Bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins can be seen year-round, but they are most active in the warmer months from May to October .
It is worth noting that whale watching is weather dependent, and the chances of spotting whales and dolphins may be higher on days with calm seas and good visibility. It is also worth considering the time of day when planning your whale watching tour, as some species may be more active in the morning or evening.
Note: The gigantic blue whales can also be seen from December to February during their migratory season. But this happens rarely.
Can you swim with wild whale & dolphins in Tenerife?
No, you are allowed to swim with wild whales and dolphins in Tenerife directly, but most of the whale tour packages mentioned in this article include a swimming/snorkeling break. The reason why it is not allowed to swim with wild whales and dolphin directly is because the presences of tourists in the water can create a stressful and even dangerous situation for the animals. There is even a penalty for swimmers that try to harass marine animals in the coastal waters of the island.
It is important to mention that all whale watching tour operators should put the welfare of the animals as their top priority.
What types of whales & dolphins can you spot in Tenerife?
Some of the dolphin and whale species that can be found in Tenerife include:
- Pilot whales: Pilot whales are a type of large dolphin that are found in the waters around Tenerife year-round. They are easily recognized by their distinctive black and white coloration and their long, slender bodies. Pilot whales are social animals and are often seen in large groups, or pods.
- Bottlenose dolphins: Bottlenose dolphins are one of the most common and well-known species of dolphin. They are found in the waters around the island throughout the year and are easily recognized by their distinctive gray coloration and curved mouth, which gives them a smiling appearance.
- Atlantic spotted dolphins: Atlantic spotted dolphins are a small, slender species of dolphin. They are easily recognized by the distinctive spotted pattern on their skin, which becomes more pronounced as the dolphins age.
- Humpback whales: Humpback whales are a type of baleen whale that are not as commonly seen as some of the other cetacean species. Humpback whales are known for their distinctive long pectoral fins and the intricate patterns on the underside of their flukes (tails).
- Sperm whales: Sperm whales are a type of toothed whale and are easily recognized by their large, square-shaped heads and their distinctive, conical-shaped teeth.
- Fin whales: Fin whales are the second largest species of whale, after the blue whale, and can be recognized by their long, slender bodies and their tall, triangular dorsal fins. They are not as often spotted as other whale and dolphin species.
Other species of cetaceans that may be found in the waters around Tenerife include beaked whales, killer whales, and false killer whales . However, these species are not as commonly seen.

- Authorized boats for whale and dolphin watching are distinguished by a yellow flag with the “Blue Boat” logo.
- It is important to maintain a distance of at least 60 meters from the animals and to observe them for no more than 30 minutes.
- Boats should navigate at a reduced speed and avoid congregating in large numbers.
- It is prohibited to touch, feed, or swim with the animals, as well as to throw waste into the water or make loud noises that could disturb them.
- In the event of an injured animal or stranding, it is important to call the emergency number (112) and follow the appropriate rescue protocol.
- Companies offering whale and dolphin watching tours should have a Quality Charter that outlines their commitment to respecting the animals and minimizing the impact of their activities on the marine environment.

Photography & video tips for whale watching in Tenerife
Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands in Spain, is known for its abundant marine life, including up to 28 different species of whales and dolphins.
For photography and video enthusiasts, this presents a unique opportunity to capture stunning images of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. However, capturing high-quality photos and videos of whales and dolphins can be challenging, especially if you’re not familiar with the best techniques and equipment to use.
Let me show you some essential tips and tricks to help you get the best photos and videos while whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife.
- The first step to capturing great photos and videos is to have the right equipment. While a smartphone camera can work, a high-quality camera with a telephoto lens will give you better results. A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a 200mm or 300mm lens is ideal. This will allow you to get close-up shots of the whales and dolphins without disturbing them.
- Once you have the right camera and lens, you need to set it up correctly for the conditions. Start by setting your camera to a high shutter speed (1/1000s or faster) to freeze the motion of the whales and dolphins. If you’re shooting video, you should aim for a frame rate of at least 30 frames per second to capture smooth footage. Use a high ISO (800 or above) to compensate for low light conditions, and choose a wide aperture (f/5.6 or wider) to create a shallow depth of field and isolate the subject from the background.
- When whale and dolphin watching in Tenerife, it’s important to choose the right spot on the boat to capture the best photos and videos. Try to position yourself on the upper deck of the boat, as this will give you a better view of the water and help you spot the whales and dolphins more easily. You should also try to get a spot close to the front of the boat, as this will give you an unobstructed view of the animals.
- Whale and dolphin watching is a waiting game, and it’s important to be patient and wait for the right moment to capture your shot. Keep your camera ready at all times, and be prepared to snap a photo or start recording video at a moment’s notice. Watch for signs of activity, such as splashing or the appearance of a dorsal fin, and be ready to capture the action when it happens.
- While it’s important to capture great photos and videos, it’s also important to remember that the whales and dolphins are wild animals in their natural habitat. Always respect the animals by maintaining a safe distance, never approaching them too closely, and never disturbing them in any way. Be mindful of your surroundings, and avoid making loud noises or sudden movements that could startle the animals.
- Once you’ve captured your photos and videos, it’s time to edit them to bring out the best in your shots. Use editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to adjust the exposure, contrast, and color balance of your photos. If you’re editing video, use software like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro to edit your footage and add music or other effects.

'I found the perfect beach holiday just hours away from the UK – and it's still hot in October'
Tenerife is the perfect holiday destination for sun worshippers, foodies, families and adrenaline junkies alike – here's where to stay and what to do on this Spanish island
- 09:30, 17 Aug 2024
The summer holidays might be in full swing, but there's still time to find your ideal escape – and Tenerife has something for everyone, as we found out on a trip exploring the highlights of this beloved Canary Island.
If you're after a holiday that involves plenty of poolside relaxation with a good book and a cocktail in hand, then the recently refurbished Tivoli La Caleta Tenerife Resort is just the ticket.
Situated on the island's stunning Costa Adeje, the hotel boasts breathtaking seafront views, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset in the evenings. Ideal for couples, families and groups of friends alike, La Caleta resort features three swimming pools – one saltwater, one freshwater and one exclusively for adults – ensuring that no matter who you're holidaying with, you'll have a fantastic time by the pool.
If you're seeking something a bit more active, there's also a padel club and a state-of-the-art gym.
The spa at Tivoli La Caleta
Tivoli La Caleta recently unveiled its new Anantara Spa, and with treatments starting from just €25, booking in here is a must. After your treatment, make sure to take advantage of the spa's other facilities, which include a luxurious spa pool, sauna, steam room and even an igloo for when the Spanish sun gets too hot. It's the perfect spot for some additional relaxation while staying at the resort.
The food at Tivoli La Caleta
La Caleta boasts four distinct eateries, perfect for those who love the convenience of dining and then retiring to bed within minutes after a busy day out. With a variety of cuisine on offer, you'll never tire of the food, even if you choose to stay within the resort all day.
Kickstart your day with breakfast at Gusto, which also serves up daily dinner buffets in the evening. The culinary themes rotate throughout the week; one day you might be savouring delectable Asian-fusion dishes, while the next you could be indulging in a traditional Spanish menu.
However, the true gastronomic gems of the resort are the three restaurants helmed by Portuguese chef Olivier da Costa: SEEN Beach Club, Yakuza and Guilty. SEEN offers stunning beachfront views and an array of incredible cocktails, complemented by a menu featuring Canarian fish, wagyu beef and a selection of mouth-watering cheeses.
Yakuza delivers scrumptious sushi, offering both traditional fish and veggie options our top picks were the salmon sashimi, California rolls and spicy tuna sushi. Meanwhile, Guilty's menu is packed with tasty treats like burrata salads, burgers and pizzas, all just a stone's throw from the hotel's pools.
Dolphin spotting in Tenerife
La Caleta is perfectly situated for those keen to explore the island's offerings, with one of the top activities being a whale and dolphin-watching catamaran trip. These boat tours can be arranged through the hotel and are sure to thrill all holidaymakers, from families to hen parties.
We were fortunate enough to see some of Tenerife's native pilot whales and playful dolphins, which swam incredibly close to our boats as we cruised around a protected coastal area free from shipping vessels.
As our journey neared its end, the catamaran anchored near a cove, allowing us to enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. Pure bliss!
Teide National Park
Another must-see in Tenerife is Teide National Park, home to the volcanic Mount Teide. If long walks aren't your thing, you can explore this alien-like park by van.
This tour takes you through some of the park's most breathtaking scenery where numerous Hollywood films have been shot over the years with stops at various viewpoints for the best views of the volcano, its surroundings and the local wildlife.
A visit to the Teide Legend Visitors' Centre is also highly recommended; it hosts a free exhibition that provides plenty of information about the park's history and Tenerife in general, helping you to learn more about this popular holiday destination.
How to book
Prices at Tivoli La Caleta Tenerife Resort start from €275 per night for a Grand Deluxe Garden View Room, including breakfast. There's also an option for half-board. A private boat trip to spot whales and dolphins costs from €100 per person. The Teide Experience is available from €70 per person.

- Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
St. Petersburg vs Moscow?
By ethereal , June 30, 2008 in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
Recommended Posts
My DH and I are taking our first (and probably only) Baltic cruise in August on the Celebrity Constellation. We'll only have 2 days in St. Petersburg, so we're wondering if it's possible to go to Moscow for 1 day and still see enough in St. Petersburg to feel like we haven't missed out. Has anyone done this? If you only had 1 day in St. Pete, what would you see?
Link to comment
Share on other sites.
In late July, we'll have three days in St. Petersburg. We are doing one of those trips to Moscow through our ship's tour. That still leaves us with two days for St. Petersburg. From others on this site, some said strong to spend ALL of the time in St. Petersburg. BUT, those who have done this one day trip trip to Moscow say it is super great and the "experience of a lifetime" . It's a long, long day in going to Moscow. It's "POSSIBLE" to do your plan, but it is does sharply limit what you can see and do in St. Petersburg in only one day. In many ways you'll have to choose between seeing the great palaces outside of town at the Peterhoff and Catherine's versus the Hermitage and the wonderful city-Cathedral sites. Choices and trade-offs!!?? Lots of great options. Your choice! If your personal energy and wallet are better, it is easier to do more and accomplish most of your goals. If you've only got one day in St. Petersburg, doing a private tour makes it better to be more time efficient and see just the "best of the best" that you want to do in only one day. St. Petersburg is a large city of five million people so it does take some time for your logistics in this congested area.
THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Another couple at our dinner table last summer did the one day trip to Moscow and then hired a car and guide (from the shorex) to take them around St. Petersburg the next day. When it is just you and the guide and the driver, you can cover a lot of territory. You see only the things that you want to see and you don't spend a lot of time waiting for anybody.
You are right; this might be your only trip to the Baltic and for sure you should make it count. As Terry said, it is a matter of choices and trade-offs.
If I had to do St. P in a whirlwind day, I would choose the following: The Amber Room at Catherine's Palace (go straight to the Amber Room and don't stop to see anything else), the gardens at the Peterhof (don't visit any interiors if you want to save time but Monplaisire Palace is a quick visit and Peter's favorite) and then head into St. P for a driving tour of the high points and a stop at either the Hermitage or Church on Spilled Blood for an extended visit. You can spend even more time sightseeing if you bring lunch from the ship and eat in the car as you drive from place to place (order sandwiches from room services).
I think it's not good idea in 2 days visit Moscow...

Good summary of the best option IF you are trying to work it ALL in during two days , including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Or, do both days in St. Petersburg. Your choice, depending on your budget, travel style, energy and goals. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio
I really appreciate your input -- sounds like it could be done, but definitely not in as much depth as I would like. I'm also concerned about the 15 1/2 hour Moscow involvement, coupled with what would be a hectic day in St. Petersburg, followed by Helsinki and Stockholm the following 2 days. Perhaps St. Petersburg done well (as well as 2 days allow!) would be the best solution -- especially since it's been at the top of my wish list for many years. Thanks a lot -- will drink a toast to you when I get there!!

Now go find a tour guide and car to take you around or join a small group going to the places you want to see (check out the roll call for your sailing for tour shares and search this forum for St. Petersburg to find the names of private tour companies).
Don't waste your time trying to figure out how to get from place to place --let an expert take care of that part for you. And let that expert handle the details of getting you in and out of the commercial port where most of the cruise ships dock.
Enjoy your dream cruise!!:)

Good decision and reasoning. Moscow is a long day. The day after our Moscow trip, we're waiting till 10 am to start our St. Petersburg adventures. Doing a private guide does make a huge difference in being able to see and do more. Work with them as they know the hours open, logistics, etc. Time is money. The better your budget, the more you can do. Enjoy! Terry in Ohio
