At €25 per person for 1h 30m it is also the cheapest whale trip we list; 4.59 from 2260 reviews. ## Overview 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.
