My family and I wanted to see marine life, and this whale watching tour was perfect. The boat was very comfortable and steady on the waves. We saw dolphins swimming right alongside us, which was a beautiful moment. Our swim stop was also fantastic, and the water felt great. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island.
This was the best part of our holiday in Tenerife. The staff were very friendly and clearly cared a lot about the animals. We spotted a group of pilot whales very soon after leaving the port. A clever boat design made it really easy to take photos from the deck. It was a lovely and relaxing afternoon.
This is a must-do in Tenerife ! We saw several pilot whales and a huge pod of dolphins almost immediately, and the guides were brilliant at making sure the children didn't miss a thing. It’s the perfect length of time so they don't get restless, and getting to jump into the blue water for a swim at the end was the cherry on top. If you're in Tenerife with your family, don't miss this!

Interesting facts about Tenerife's marine life
The waters around the Canary Islands are a protected marine environment and a key part of the diverse landscape we showcase at Tenerife Tickets & Tours. They host one of the largest populations of finned pilot whales in the world. These whales live here all year round because the water temperature is perfect for them.
