What kind of marine life can I expect to see?

The Canary Islands are home to pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, and sea turtles. You may also spot sperm whales, beaked whales, and various seabird species depending on the season.

How long is the whale watching tour?

Most whale watching tours last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives enough time to find the animals, observe them in their natural habitat, and enjoy the coastal scenery.

Is whale watching guaranteed?
