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.

Not just observing marine life giving them the respect they deserve – you are forming a connection based on trust and mutual respect.

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.

Whale Watching Tenerife

But how do you select the best tour? When is a tour eco-friendly and sustainable for the whales and dolphins? After all, as a sustainable whale watcher you want to make sure you make the right decision when selecting the boat and captain for your whale tour.

Here at Whale Watching Tenerife we give answers to these questions and show you why it is so important to keep in mind that whale watching is a form of wildlife viewing and that the whales and dolphins should be respected and treated with care. Also we make sure that the tour operators that we review are following the best practices for whale watching, such as maintaining a safe distance from the animals and not disturbing their natural behaviors.

Just keep reading to learn more.

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.

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."

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

• BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
• IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes!

• michael g 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worst hop on/hop off EVER Waited for 40 minutes in the cold rain for a bus that never came... unacceptable. Traffic is so bad that when on a bus the previos day it was barely moving. My advice-get a subway pass and a good travel guide book and do sightseeing on your own! Read more Written October 24, 2018
• Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

• Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018
• Bernardo P 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat Trips Moscow, Russia Yesterday, I booked a boat trip with the GetYourGuide.com web page and was totally horrible, didn’t have audio guide as it shows on the picture-Nobody Talk-. The girl on the picture-light blue bag-ask for 100 Rubles for show her the QR Code while I had the Booking and PIN number cause she must see the vessel name-Didn’t say nothing and after she said board any vessel. I suggest take the trip and pay on site, avoid fake internet pages, there are many other services with a lot of entertainment, don’t take this ones. Read more Written July 14, 2018
• Kathrynowl91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Good way to see some sites We usually do these tours when we travel. They get you round and you see the sight . The traffic is quite heavy so it is a bit slow but there is not a lot they can do about it. We only did the red route. Just a note people don’t queue here when the bus comes it’s a bit of a free for all. Read more Written July 13, 2018
• Daniyal91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Was Ok.! Started our tour of moscow from here, We had got the 2 Day Pass with the boat ride. The route and the map was good but not well managed. The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.! The boat ride was Ok, a little crowded. No guide provided, just a boat ride with restaurant service Read more Written July 12, 2018
• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018
