With a maximum of 60 passengers on board, this tour offers more space and a more comfortable experience than many crowded whale watching excursions. The boat’s low decks, close to sea level, provide excellent views of the ocean and fantastic opportunities to spot dolphins and resident pilot whales in their natural habitat. During the 2-hour cruise, our multilingual guide will share fascinating insights about Tenerife’s marine wildlife, local cetacean population, and coastline. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we will make a short swimming stop of approximately 15 minutes in a beautiful coastal area. Our experienced crew follows responsible whale watching guidelines, ensuring a respectful approach that does not disturb the animals’ natural behaviour. This tour is perfect for couples, families, and small groups looking for an authentic whale and dolphin watching experience in Tenerife. ## Key facts - Price: from €28 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.65/5 from 279 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Neptuno Whale Experience Tenerife ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Departure at 12:00 PM | €28 / person | English, Spanish, French, Italian | Duration: 2 hours Sail aboard an authentic Portuguese schooner and enjoy an unforgettable whale and dolphin watching experience, complete with a refreshing swimming stop and time to relax in the sun. | | Departure at 10:00 AM | €28 / person | English, Spanish, French, Italian | Duration: 2 hours: Enjoy an unforgettable whale and dolphin watching cruise aboard an authentic Portuguese schooner in South Tenerife, with a refreshing swimming stop and plenty of time to relax in the sun. | | Departure at 2:00 PM | €28 / person | English, Spanish, French, Italian | Duration: 2 hours: Sail aboard an authentic Portuguese schooner and enjoy an unforgettable whale and dolphin watching experience, complete with a refreshing swimming stop and time to relax in the sun.
