Join us on our very first fully noise and emission-free 14 metre long catamaran on the Canary Islands to explore and listen to several majestic whale and dolphin species such as bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, Risso's dolphin and Bryde’s whales.
Description
Mixed groups are up to 12 persons and the experience includes a hydrophone and 360 degree camera on board to provide the maximum sensations possible when spotting a whale or dolphin.
Our catamaran comfortably accommodates 12 passengers, along with our skilled crew of two persons (skipper and guide).
Due to our noise free propulsion, hydrophone and 360 degree camera, you will experience an observation trip in a very unique atmosphere.
The tour is just as breathtaking for ‘newcomers’ as it is for ‘experienced whale watchers’.
This tour is guided in English, Spanish and French.
We will leave from Puerto Calero, Dock F22, head towards the open sea and come back to Puerto Calero after approximately three to four hours.

Adventure Tips
Book in Advance
Tours have limited seats on the eco-catamaran to minimize impact, so booking ahead is essential.
Dress for Marine Weather
Bring layers and windproof gear as ocean breezes can be cool even in summer.
Bring Binoculars
While there’s a 360-degree camera, binoculars enhance distant sightings of marine life.
Be Ready to Disembark Quickly
The catamaran docks promptly; wear shoes suitable for a marina and bring minimal gear.
