Whale and dolphin watching. Tenerife boat trips

Due to the unique subtropical climate, boat trips in Tenerife are possible all year round. You just need to choose a suitable yacht with an experienced captain — yachting in the Canaries is well developed. Of course, it is desirable that the weather is good. And in Tenerife this is the most frequent forecast!

While sailing the ocean on a yacht, you will surely meet local inhabitants, bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales (also called pothead whales or blackfish) enjoying the cool and clear waters of the Atlantic. If you're lucky, you can see other cetaceans (read below which ones), as well as sea turtles.

Choose a yacht that you like and that fit your budget! Also, we can offer you a fishing boat trip .

Who you can meet during a boat trip: whale and dolphin watching (tenerife, costa adeje).

Fresh breeze, bright sun, blue waves and bottomless sky… What else can you expect from an ocean boat trip? Of course, marine life watching! During an excursion in the Atlantic, you will most likely be able to observe two species of cetaceans, which live in the waters of the Canary Islands all year round: the pilot whale and the bottlenose dolphin . Boat Tenerife rental allows you to see them in their natural habitat with a very high probability.

Sometimes other species of whales and dolphins can be found in the ocean. In total, up to 32 species of marine mammals have been observed by experts in the Canary Islands over the years. The reason for this diversity lies in the volcanic origin of the islands: in fact, a volcanic island is a mountain that arose from the ocean, and the slopes under water are as steep as those of volcanoes above the ground. The depth between the islands is up to 3000 meters. In addition, in the area of the Canary archipelago there are the southern border of the habitat of species that prefer cold waters and the northern border of the habitat of species that prefer warm tropical waters. Consequently, during the periods of seasonal migration, both can be found here. But let's first get acquainted with those for whom the Canary water area is home. It’s better to know them before the excursion for the best whale and dolphin watching Tenerife can offer.

Other exciting activities in Tenerife

Bottlenose dolphins.

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are often found at the beginning or at the end of a boat trip in Tenerife (since they live relatively close to the shore), surprising observers with graceful jumps, agility and speed. Bottlenose dolphins can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour and jump to a height of up to 5 meters.

dolphin trip tenerife

The average size of an adult is 2.5–2.7 meters. The largest bottlenose dolphin seen in the Canaries had a length of 3.4 meters. Bottlenose dolphins can live for about 30 years and weigh 500 kg. They live in groups of 10–30 dolphins, and males usually keep separate from females and offspring.

The back is dark gray, turning into lighter shades (up to white) on the lower jaw and abdomen. There is a blowhole on their back through which they breathe. In this regard, bottlenose dolphins need to rise to the surface at least every 5–8 minutes.

The probability of seeing bottlenose dolphins during a boat tour in Tenerife is about 70–80 %. It is not difficult to recognize them, since this is the most famous species of dolphins, in particular, thanks to the movies.

Pilot whales

Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorinchus) or blackfish are large oceanic dolphins living all over the globe.

The length of an adult pilot whale can be more than five to six meters, weight may vary from 1000 to 4000 kg. The color ranges from dark gray to black, often with white spots on the abdomen.

dolphin trip tenerife

Pilot whales are very friendly. They live in groups of 30, and sometimes 60 individuals, within which they constantly interact with each other, play, communicate. They often approach boats with great curiosity.

The probability of meeting pilot whales during a boat trip near Tenerife is more than 95 %.

dolphin trip tenerife

The rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) has a darker color than the bottlenose dolphin, which is especially noticeable in contrast with the light spots on the body. There are grooves on the teeth, the skull is elongated. Length is up to 2.7 meters, weight is up to 150 kg. Compared to bottlenose dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins may seem "fat", although for them this is a normal physique. They are excellent divers: the rough-toothed dolphins can not breathe for up to 15 minutes. They live in groups of 6 to 10 individuals. It can be found in the waters around Tenerife throughout the year, though less often than bottlenose dolphins or pilot whales.

dolphin trip tenerife

The striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) has light stripes on the sides that stretch from the eyes to the tail and give this species a special beauty. Length is up to 2.7 meters, weight is about 100–130 kg. Swims very fast, loves to jump. In the waters around Tenerife, it can be seen at any time of the year, although not very often.

dolphin trip tenerife

The Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) is slightly smaller in size than the bottlenose dolphin. Adults have a spotted color. They reach a little more than two meters in length and weigh 60–80 kg; they are very active. Groups of the Atlantic spotted dolphins can be observed near Tenerife, mainly during the migration period, from autumn to spring.

dolphin trip tenerife

The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is the most common species of dolphins in the world. It is easy to identify by the pale yellow stripes on the sides. The back is black or brown-blue, the belly is light. Length is up to 2.5 meters, weight may vary from 80 to 130 kg. They like to play with waves from boats. Around Tenerife, they are found mainly in winter, especially in December and January.

Whale watching (Tenerife boat trips)

dolphin trip tenerife

The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is one of the largest mammals on the planet. It is distinguished by a very large head and longitudinal stripes on a dark gray body, similar to wrinkles. Males reach 18–20 meters in length and a mass of 40 tons (and sometimes 60), females can be 11 meters and 15 tons. A small dorsal fin against the background of such sizes seems almost imperceptible. They can dive to a depth of 3 kilometers and spend 35 minutes or more under water. This is one of the reasons why the probability of meeting a sperm whale during a boat trip in Tenerife is quite low: these animals spend a lot of time underwater. It is believed that the chances of seeing them are somewhat higher in the spring.

dolphin trip tenerife

The fin whale , or common rorqual (Balaenoptera physalus) is the second animal on the planet in size (after the blue whale). From behind and from the sides it has a black or dark gray-brown color, gradually turning into white on the belly. The color of the head is asymmetrical: on the right it is light gray, turning into white on the lower jaw; on the left it is darker, turning into dark gray on the lower jaw. The fin whale can reach 27 meters in length (and females are usually longer), weigh from 40 to 70 tons and reach speeds of more than 40 kilometers per hour. They live in groups of 6 to 10 individuals, which makes them more social than other large whales. The probability of seeing a fin whale in the waters surrounding Tenerife is quite low, as they are rarely shown to people. However, the chances are slightly higher in the autumn and winter months.

dolphin trip tenerife

Eden's whale / Bride's whale (Balaenoptera edeni / brydei) are two very similar species, the first of which is somewhat smaller than the second. It is believed that it is the Bride's whale that is found in the Canaries; however, there seems to be insufficient data for an unambiguous answer. The Bride's whale can reach 15 meters in length and weighs up to 25 tons. Females are slightly larger than males. The color of the back is dark blue-gray, turning into lighter on the sides; the throat and belly are light. Three longitudinal ridges are visible on the head. The curved dorsal fin is located far behind, like in all similar species. They live in pairs or small groups. The best months for observation in Tenerife are spring and summer, although the chances of seeing this whale, like other large individuals, are not very great: they are not particularly interested in communicating with people.

dolphin trip tenerife

The sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) may have 17–19 meters in length and a weight of 30 or even 45 tons. They can reach a speed of about 47 kilometers per hour. The back is dark, the sides are gray with small light spots, the belly is from gray to white. It is similar to the Bride's whale, but the sei whale is slightly larger and darker; on a narrower head it has only one longitudinal ridge, not three; the dorsal fin is higher. Dives to a depth of about 300 meters, may not surface for about 20 minutes. They usually live alone. You can meet them near Tenerife during the migration period, from autumn to spring, but it is very difficult to see them, since they almost do not show above the water.

dolphin trip tenerife

The false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens) reaches 5.5 meters in length and weighs 2 tons. The dorsal fin can be up to 30 cm in height. Its color is from dark gray to black. The head is rounded, the forehead is in the shape of a melon. They dive to a depth of up to 2 kilometers. False killer whales are very social and sometimes live in groups consisting of hundreds of individuals. The probability of seeing small killer whales near Tenerife is not very high. The greatest chances are in spring or autumn.

Other cetaceans that are very rarely seen around Tenerife (whales and dolphins)

  • Blainville's beaked whale or dense-beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris)
  • Cuvier's beaked whale , goose-beaked whale , or ziphius (Ziphius cavirostris)
  • Gervais's beaked whale or Antillean beaked whale (Mesoplodon europaeus)
  • Pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)
  • Fraser's dolphin or Sarawak dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei)
  • Blue whale  (Balaenoptera musculus)
  • Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)
  • Common minke whale or northern minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata)
  • Orca or killer whale (Orcinus orca)

FAQ about boat trips in Tenerife

At what time of the year can you see more dolphins in tenerife whale watching season.

Most cetaceans migrate near Tenerife in the autumn, winter and spring months, especially from November to February . In spring, there is a greater chance than at other times of the year to see large whales. In summer, the ocean is warmer and there is less food for whales and dolphins, so at this time of year many of them migrate to colder waters.

It is quite easy to meet residents of the Canary waters, bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales, in any season .

At what time of day is it easiest to meet dolphins and whales near Tenerife?

There is no definite answer to this question, so it's up to you!

In the morning , the ocean is usually calmer, and this makes it easier to observe; however, dolphins are usually not very active at this time.

If you want to catch a good light for a photo, sailing at dawn, early in the morning or before sunset can be a good idea.

There are beautiful blue waves during the day, from about 11 to 15 o'clock . At this time, there are often more waves than in the morning, but the animals are also more active.

In the evening , the ocean can be the most restless, and there are fewer dolphins, but their activity is high.

Are boat trips safe for marine life and ecology in Tenerife? Whale and dolphin conservation

In the Canary waters, compliance with special rules that apply to all means of transportation on the ocean is strictly monitored. Especially in the ZEC Teno-Rasca zone, the first whale sanctuary in Europe that stretches along the shores of municipalities Buenavista del Norte, Santiago del Teide, Adeje, Arona and Guia de Isora. Here, on an area of about 70,000 hectares with a length of about 22 kilometers, all kinds of cetaceans that can be found near Tenerife live and migrate. They are attracted here by the great depth between the islands of La Gomera and Tenerife, as well as the biodiversity of these waters, which provides dolphins and whales with food.

Rules for the observation of cetaceans in Tenerife (dolphin boat trip)

  • Approach gradually and no more than 60 meters.
  • Stay near animals for no more than 30 minutes.
  • Go at low speed. Do not change the course and speed abruptly.
  • Avoid concentration of boats.
  • Leave the observation area if the animals are concerned.
  • Take into account the size of the group, the presence of cubs or the mating season, the weather, and so on.
  • It is not allowed to chase animals, surround them, navigate towards them in a straight line or cross, go through groups of animals.
  • It is forbidden to navigate near cetaceans, feed them, touch or disturb them with sounds.
  • It is forbidden to throw garbage into the water.

However, whales and dolphins in Tenerife sometimes out of curiosity approach the boats themselves (in this case, the ship's engine must be turned off). In addition, they like to play with the waves from the boats. So, while we are doing Tenerife dolphin-whale watching... they are watching us!

How exactly and where can you see whales and dolphins? Tenerife yacht rental

To meet marine life in its natural habitat, you need to book a boat trip in Tenerife. The most comfortable option is an individual yacht, boat or catamaran rental (including captain's services).

We will help you to choose the best option for your tour and boat, coordinate the time and other important details. For example, if necessary, we can arrange a transfer for you to the starting point of the tour. Usually, it is Puerto Colon or the port of Las Galletas (Marina del Sur), since it is in the south and southwest of the island, between Tenerife and La Gomera, there are the most suitable conditions for ocean excursions. The depth and climatic features of these waters provide a variety of marine life – it is not by chance that the ZEC Teno-Rasca cetacean reserve is located here. Also, these waters are relatively calm. And, of course, the impressive views of the islands deserve special attention during a tour for dolphin watching.

Los Cristianos is one of the popular tourist spots in Tenerife. It’s not far from both Puerto Colon and Las Galletas, and we will be glad to arrange a transfer for you to one of our vessels (we can offer you yachts, a speedboat or a catamaran).

Tenerife dolphins can often be found relatively close to the shore. However, since we are dealing with wildlife, it is never possible to completely predict such encounters. But you can be sure that an experienced captain will make the best route for you, taking into account your wishes, the season and the weather, as well as all the information available to specialists.

To rent a yacht, choose the most suitable option for you and send us a request via the contact form, or write to us via WhatsApp .

Where does the dolphin trip (Tenerife) start from?

Tours for whale watching: Puerto Colon (Tenerife) Puerto Colon is a large port in the south of the island, in the resort of Costa Adeje. Whale and dolphin watching tours in Tenerife mostly start from here. There are many good beaches, bars and restaurants nearby, as well as hotels and tourist apartments, so it's not surprising that so many yachts are based in Puerto Colon. In total, it can accommodate up to 355 vessels up to 20 meters long.

It is in Puerto Colon there yachting in Tenerife is most developed. That’s not far from such famous resorts as Las Americas and Los Cristianos. Dolphin boat trip is one of the most popular leisure activities here!

Las Galletas, Marina del Sur (Tenerife): whales and dolphins’ trips The port in the village of Las Galletas, which is also called Marina del Sur, is another good place to start a boat tour. A lot of ships go out to the ocean from here every day, but, of course, compared to Puerto Colon, this port is much quieter. Marina del Sur has space for 176 vessels up to 20 meters long.

Getting onboard It is advisable to arrive at the port having some time before the start, so as not to shorten the planned duration of your dolphin excursion (Tenerife). The captain will take you on board and give you a brief explanation, familiarizing you with the boat and safety rules during an ocean trip.

The adventure begins!

During a boat trip along the coast of Tenerife, it is easiest to meet pilot whales. The probability is more than 90 %.

In about four out of five cases, a boat trip allows you to see the bottlenose dolphin (Tenerife, Costa Adeje). Dolphin watching in their natural habitat is a truly unforgettable experience.

Other cetaceans are much rarer and more elusive, so the probability of meeting them depends on many factors. It is almost impossible to predict such a meeting, but it is, of course, possible. So, study our guide above on cetacean species in order to be armed with knowledge and be able to distinguish one species from another, if you are lucky enough to see someone from infrequent guests of ocean trips.

In any case, renting a yacht in Tenerife is an unforgettable and enjoyable experience.

Is it possible to swim during boat trips? Who can be seen underwater?

Swimming in the ocean and snorkeling are included in the program of almost any boat trip in Tenerife. Depending on your wishes, the captain can stop for a swim in a deeper place or in a shallower one.

At a greater depth, you can see an angelshark (flat-bodied shark, similar to a stingray, safe for humans), rays and turtles.

There are 7 species of sea turtles in the world, and 5 of them can be found off the coast of Tenerife. However, most often you can see two types: these are the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). Both of these species can reach one meter in length and weigh of 100–200 kg, but in general, loggerheads can be slightly larger than green turtles. Much less common are the hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea, also known as the lute turtle, leathery turtle, the luth) and Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii, the Atlantic ridley sea turtle), which is under threat of extinction.

While snorkeling at shallow depths, you can see mainly small marine life , such as the West Atlantic trumpetfish, the sargo (white seabream), the plain bonito. Sometimes there is also the Mediterranean parrotfish.

What else is included in the cost of a boat trip in Tenerife?

The ocean excursion program and the services included in the price depend on your personal preferences and the vessel you choose. So, part of the excursions implies a free transfer to the port and back (if you need it, of course). The work of the captain, as well as drinks and snacks are always included in the price. If you have special preferences about drinks and snacks during the trip, you must inform us in advance so that we can take into account your wishes.

Before the tour, you will be able to discuss with the captain what you are most interested in: dolphin and whale watching, snorkeling, beautiful views of the rocks, etc . Taking into account his experience, the captain will offer the most suitable option for you.

If you like fishing, you can choose to go on a boat specially equipped for fishing . The hook comes across such species as the red porgy (common seabream), the red seabream, the common pandora, the common two-banded sea bream, the comber, the gilt-head (sea) bream. Tuna, wahoo (a scombrid fish), striped marlin, barracuda can become larger prey. Sometimes even small sharks come across; they are usually released.

Is it possible to arrange a celebration on a yacht in Tenerife?

Yes, of course! We will be happy to help you organize a special yacht trip in Tenerife: birthday, bachelorette party, anniversary, engagement, etc. Be sure to inform the captain about your plans in advance, especially if you count on his help, or you need a special menu or an unusual excursion program. Individual yacht rental (Tenerife) is perfect for celebrations!

If you are concerned about whether sharks and other dangerous marine animals are present in Tenerife, we can reassure you: local coastal species are usually safe for humans (for example, the angelshark, the houndshark). Dangerous sharks or killer whales are not usually found in the part of the ocean where tours are carried out. They live only at really great depths, far from the coast, so the chances of meeting them during a boat trip tend to zero .

In winter, the basking shark sometimes swims in the Canary waters, absolutely harmless and feeding on plankton.

Moreover, cases of attacks on humans by whales and dolphins are unknown. As for the questions about the fate of people in the stomach of a whale, it is rather from the field of anecdotes: reliable cases of such situations simply do not exist.

In any case, the main rules of safety in the ocean are following the instructions of the captain and respect for marine animals and the environment.

Most often this does not happen. Firstly, this is facilitated by the small size of the vessel, and secondly, in bad weather with strong waves, tours are not carried out at all. But if you have a tendency to motion sickness, it is advisable to take measures in advance: take with you suitable kinetosis medications (e.g. Biodramina) or better take them in advance (30–40 minutes before going out into the ocean). In addition, it is not recommended to take alcohol on the eve of the tour. Food before an ocean excursion should be familiar and easy to digest.

What should I take with me for a boat trip in Tenerife?

First of all, protection from the sun , especially in the case of a morning or afternoon excursion: a headdress (preferably one that will not be blown away by the wind), sunglasses, sunscreen for exposed parts of the body. It is also advisable to take a light windbreaker or something similar with you, since the wind in the ocean can be quite cool. Choose shoes that you are not afraid to get a little wet, if anything. Bathing suits and towels will be useful for ocean swimming. You can also take with you whatever you deem necessary (check with the captain what else may be useful during a tour in your particular case). But, of course, bulky or dangerous items, valuables that can be lost, should not be taken with you on the boat.

Tenerife is not only about whale and dolphin watching. The island offers a plethora of other exciting activities and attractions that cater to all tastes and ages. Here's a glimpse of what you can explore:

Siam Park is a must-visit water park in Tenerife, known for its thrilling rides and beautiful Thai-themed architecture. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or looking for a fun family day out, Siam Park has something for everyone. Don't miss the Tower of Power, a slide that plunges through a shark-filled aquarium!

Mount Teide is Spain's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can hike or take a cable car to the summit for breathtaking views of the Canary Islands. The unique volcanic landscapes and the Teide National Park are a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.

Home to an extensive and diverse reserve of animal and plant species, Loro Parque is another family-friendly attraction. From the spectacular orca shows to the lush botanical gardens, it's a place where education meets entertainment.

Tenerife's golden sandy beaches and clear blue waters are perfect for relaxation and water sports. Try surfing, snorkeling, or simply bask in the sun at popular beaches like Playa de las Américas or Playa del Duque.

Indulge in the local Canarian cuisine , with dishes like "papas arrugadas" and "mojo" sauce. The vibrant nightlife in Tenerife offers a mix of traditional bars, lively clubs, and beachfront lounges.

Explore the rich history of Tenerife by visiting the colonial towns of La Laguna and La Orotava. The well-preserved architecture and charming streets are a window into the island's past.

Tenerife is a destination that offers more than just marine adventures. Whether you're into nature, history, food, or fun, this island has something to captivate your heart.

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.

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:

  • 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.

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.

Surprisingly there is no better sighting time or area throughout the day. Due to this everything can change due to current weather conditions, water currents, food availability, etc. To point out that although the chances may be high, as a result, remember that these are wild animals and cannot guarantee sightings at all times.

  • T4267FUmichaelam 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles A great….. disappointment :( We booked this excursion with an excursion agent. We were charged €180 and this was to include a “three course meal”, amazing sunset you’ve never seen before and to view a brilliant star lit sky with only a few people booked on at a time for an intimate experience. We were picked up on time, taken to the restaurant and our three course meal consisted of rice, chicken, a stuffed tomato and a single bread roll, also one drink. The food was not good quality, the chips being served to the children were microwaved! We were then taken to a place and saw a very average sunset, we had seen a better one the night before on our balcony. And then an entire coach of us were taken to look at the stars through four telescopes. It was a long trip with not very many good points. Using the coach meant it was impossible to get a good view of the scenery. Seeing Saturn is what has made this trip deserve the one star I gave, without it, it would easily have been a 0. I would not recommend this to anyone, the guide was a lovely vibrant man, and I’m sure this was used a distraction to how much a disappointment the trip was. The pictures on the leaflets should be changed as we saw nothing like that. We wish we could turn back time and never have booked it and wasted £160. Read more Written August 27, 2023

  • jamesbU7957FG 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Pay the Ritz, get the Adelphi We were typically and Very Britishly early at the transport pickup yet got pick up approx 10 mins late, transport was comfortable I must say though. 1 pick up point was empty so “guide” took a photo of the empty busy stop - probably to prove that the bud has actually stopped there - so fair enough I suppose. We were therefore rushed to the port where the catamaran was waiting and a rushed set off without a real chance to get settled into a comfortable seating position and ushered along like cattle. A brief introduction to the crew (could barely hear through the PA system) so we just sat on the netting to the front of the boat and enjoyed the sail out. Saw some whales come to the surface of the water after a while which was nice and then set a course to a place to swim, eat (sold as a paella dish) and drink on the “free” bar. Baring in mind it was choppy as hell when we set of - appreciate nothing the captain or crew could do about the sea conditions - but the paella certainly wasn’t as expected as the photo shows. After we had to empty the unused food into a bin like a load of school kids we set off in search of dolphins - we didn’t get to see any sadly so we’re just taken for a sail up the east coast of the island (again crew can’t be at fault for the lack of dolphinage) a quick spin around and back into harbour for what was very short of 4.5 hours of a sailing journey. Again the return transfer journey was comfortable and can’t complain about that at all. Over priced for our experience and certainly under delivered. Read more Written August 22, 2022

Great experience

Reviews Monte Cristo Catamaran Tours

"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."

Dolphins in Tenerife feed on different types of fish, including mackerel, sardines, squid and herring. Their diet can vary depending on the availability of food in the region and the season. Dolphins are known for their agility in catching prey, and they often hunt in groups to surround and capture fish.

Numbers and Species

Tenerife is home to several species of dolphins, but two of the most common species found in the waters around the island are the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis). These species are known for their lively behaviour and social nature.

The exact numbers of dolphins in Tenerife can vary and depend on several factors, such as season and food availability. In some areas around Tenerife, dolphins can be seen in large groups.

Habitat of dolphins in Tenerife

Dolphins in Tenerife mainly inhabit the waters along the south coast of the island, particularly in the regions around Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje and Los Gigantes. These areas offer ideal living conditions for dolphins, with their abundance of fish and calm, clear waters.

During a Dolphin boat trip in Tenerife you can get the chance to see these dolphins in their natural habitat. The boat trips usually depart from the port Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje along the south coast and sail out to where dolphins are often spotted.

It is important to note that it is important to observe dolphins with respect for their habitat. Boats approaching dolphins must follow strict guidelines to minimise disturbance to the animals and ensure their welfare.

Tenerife thus offers not only a wonderful opportunity to see dolphins in the wild, but also to learn more about their behaviour, diet and habitats, making it an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and travellers.

Tenerife's Diet of Whales

Tenerife's whales have a varied diet, consisting mainly of different species of fish and squid. Among their prey are mackerel, herring, swordfish and squid. Like dolphins, whales often use sophisticated hunting techniques, working together in groups to pursue and capture prey.

Species and Numbers

Tenerife is home to mainly two species of whales: pilot whales and sperm whales. These impressive marine mammals vary in size and behaviour, but every encounter with them is a breathtaking experience during whale watching Tenerife.

The numbers of whales in the waters around Tenerife can vary, depending on seasonal migration patterns and food availability. Some of these whales are often seen during specific times of the year.

Habitat of Tenerife's whales

Whales in Tenerife are often spotted in the deeper waters off the coast, especially in the area between Tenerife and La Gomera, known as the Tenerife Strait. This region offers excellent food sources for whales due to the presence of deep sea channels and an abundant fish population.

To spot whales in Tenerife, boat excursions are offered from various ports along Tenerife's southern coast. Whale watching Tenerife excursions take you to the areas where whales are often spotted.

It is of utmost importance to approach whales with utmost care and respect to avoid disturbing their natural habitat and ensure their well-being.

Seeing whales in Tenerife offers an unforgettable opportunity for nature lovers and travellers to discover the wonders of the ocean and gain a deep understanding of these majestic marine mammals.
