More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the catamaran at Puerto Colón as seabirds wheel overhead and the Atlantic pushes the hull forward, the coast of southern Tenerife sliding into view. The water here is a living corridor; currents and underwater cliffs funnel food and cetaceans through the designated conservation area, turning each crossing into a search for movement and sound.

Wildlife
History
The waters off southern Tenerife supported traditional fishing communities and, during past centuries, occasional whaling—today the focus is on protection through ZEC zoning and scientific monitoring.
Conservation
Tours operate within a marine conservation zone with rules to minimize disturbance; opt for operators that brief guests on distance rules, don’t feed wildlife, and use eco‑friendly products.
Reserve your spot on the Tour with Whale and Dolphin Watching plus food included today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive Early for Shade
Boarding fills quickly; arriving 20–30 minutes early increases chances of a shaded seat and easy access to the bow or nets.
Bring Motion‑Sickness Medicine
Even calm seas can roll—if you're prone to seasickness, take prevention an hour before departure.
Use Reef‑Safe Sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and wear a sun shirt for the midday sun and reflective water glare.
Respect Wildlife Distance
Follow crew instructions and never attempt to touch or feed cetaceans; distancing reduces stress on animals and keeps the tour lawful.
