Eco Whale Watching Tenerife
Eco Whale Watching Tenerife runs whale and dolphin watching trips from Playa de las Américas in the south of Tenerife on two 8-metre rigid inflatable boats that fly the Blue Flag and are authorised by the Canary Islands Government. On board there is a hydrophone for listening to the animals and a net for collecting plastic floating in the sea. Tailor-made private tours are also available.
Eco Whale Watching Tenerife has its premises on Avenida de Colón in Playa de las Américas and, according to the company, more than twenty years of experience in sea-related activities. Its two boats are 8-metre rigid inflatables with outboard engines, seats for every passenger and a roof for anyone who would rather not spend the trip in the sun; being fast and stable, they cover more area in less time and seasickness is rare. The species seen most often are short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, both resident in these waters, along with turtles and common, striped and spotted dolphins.
The company's approach rests on the idea that people only protect what they know: during the trip the guides explain how the animals live, interact and feed, and the hydrophone lets you hear how they communicate. The company guarantees sightings and uses a net on board to collect any plastic it finds floating. Besides the regular tours, which last about two hours, tailor-made private tours can be arranged, and bookings are taken online, by phone or on WhatsApp.
