The South West coast of Tenerife is home to short finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, which are the most expected species to be encountered in our tours. Nonetheless, there are 31 cetacean species recorded in the Canary Islands, so it is not uncommon to see pods of numerous oceanic dolphins jumping all over the place, or solitary giants like baleen whales or sperm whales. If we are very lucky, we might get to see shy beaked whales, or majestic orcas. Every day is different and full of surprises!

Yes! Sighting success rate is very high all year round. WWET guarantees to encounter at least one species of whale or dolphin. Bearing in mind that wild animals are unpredictable, it can happen, at RARE times, that we do not see any. In that case, WWET offers you the opportunity to join us again on another tour for free, the day of your choosing as long as there are spaces available. As with any wildlife tour, Mother Nature rules.

Sunglasses, a tight-fitting hat, sun cream and a warm jacket or jumper, except in the summer months. Before departure time, take motion sickness tablets if you think you may need them, we recommend those containing caffeine to make the journey more enjoyable.

In case you get seasick on board, don’t be shy to let us know, we have delicious natural dehydrated ginger and peppermint essential oil. They are great natural remedies!
