About this tour
Board a custom 8-metre catamaran from Puerto Colón Marina for a guided two-hour marine expedition tracking whales and dolphins in Tenerife's protected Teno-Rasca waters. Led by a biologist, you'll listen to cetacean calls through hydrophone, receive live narration on board, and get professional photos emailed afterwards. Small groups of 11 maximum mean genuine interaction rather than crowded-deck tourism. Departures at 9:30am, noon, and 2:30pm daily, weather permitting.
Highlights
- Listen to whale and dolphin vocalisations via onboard hydrophone
- Live marine biology commentary from qualified staff
- Intimate groups limited to 11 passengers only
- Professional cetacean photographs included and emailed
- Protected marine area with sightings guarantee
What to expect
Expect a working marine naturalist tour rather than a sightseeing cruise. You'll spend two hours actively scanning for cetaceans while your guide explains behaviour, species identification, and conservation efforts in real time. The hydrophone amplifies underwater calls—whale song and dolphin clicks—giving acoustic context to what you're watching. Conditions vary; calm days yield better visibility and longer observation windows. The boat stays low-key, prioritising animal welfare over rushed photo ops. Bring layers; sea spray and coastal winds make it cooler than land temperatures. Seasickness is possible in rougher conditions.
