At €25 per person for 1h 30m it is also the cheapest whale trip we list; 4.59 from 2290 reviews. In our comparison: #15 of 16 in Whale & Dolphin Watching, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## 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.
