History
The south coast’s fishing ports evolved alongside Tenerife’s volcanic landscape; modern whale-watching grew from local knowledge of migration routes and the designation of marine protected areas.
Conservation
Operators work under the Canary Islands Blue Boat program and the Natura 2000 network to minimize disturbance; follow crew instructions to reduce impact and avoid feeding or chasing marine life.

Choose calm-weather departures
Morning trips and low-wind days improve sighting odds and reduce motion—check local forecasts before booking.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
If you get seasick, take medication beforehand and sit mid-ship where motion is gentlest.
Layer for wind and spray
A windproof jacket and a light insulating layer keep you comfortable on the open deck even on warm days.
Use a hydrophone respectfully
Listen quietly when crew deploy the hydrophone so you and others can hear vocalizations without disturbing animals.
Binoculars
Helps spot distant blows, dorsal fins and surfacing behaviors before the boat approaches.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
Strong Atlantic sun reflects off the water; protect skin and eyes during the trip.
