About this activity

Tenerife is home to resident pilot whales and dolphins, giving one of the highest sighting rates in Europe. Our captains holds higher licences allowing us to operate further offshore, and providing opportunities to encounter larger whale species when conditions allow.

Experience whales and dolphins in their natural habitat aboard with a strict NO CHASE 100% RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL tour, they have to choose what interaction they with us, & they do!

Tenerife’s unique Glass Bottom catamaran. Every encounter is unique, offering unforgettable moments.

Our original No-Chase approach allows wildlife to behave naturally, there is nothing more special than witnessing whales and dolphins choose to approach the vessel naturally, creating truly authentic encounters, while helping protect the animals that make Tenerife so special.

We are Proud to collaborate with Neptunes Pirates UK and with the Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK

  2. Mount Teide

    Passing by

    Tenerife offers one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe because the island was shaped by volcanic activity over millions of years. During the safari, guests can often enjoy spectacular views that combine the Atlantic Ocean with towering volcanic landscapes dominated by Mount Teide.

    • Massive volcanic cliffs rising directly from the ocean
    • Black lava rock formations created by ancient eruptions
    • Clear panoramic views of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak

    Mount Teide stands at 3,715 meters above sea level and dominates Tenerife’s skyline. Because the mountain rises from the Atlantic Ocean floor, its total height is far greater than what visitors see above sea level. On clear days, Teide creates an incredible backdrop for whale and dolphin sightings

    Cruise along Tenerife’s spectacular volcanic coastline with breathtaking views of Mount Teide a unique landscape where wild ocean life meets one of the world’s most impressive volcanic islands.”
