WeWhale Lanzarote
WeWhale runs whale and dolphin watching trips from the Puerto Calero marina in Yaiza, Lanzarote. The trip lasts about four hours on board La Santa Maria, a fully electric catamaran, with no more than 12 guests. A hydrophone lets passengers hear the cetaceans, and the onboard team explains their behaviour while the boat observes calmly, without chasing the animals.
WeWhale Lanzarote is based at the Puerto Calero marina in the municipality of Yaiza, a few kilometres from Puerto del Carmen and the airport. La Santa Maria, a 46-foot catamaran with a fully electric engine that also sails, departs from dock F22. The whale and dolphin watching trips last about four hours with a maximum of 12 guests, and can be booked as a shared experience or as a private trip with the whole boat for one group. Besides the morning trip there is also a sunset experience.
On board, a hydrophone picks up the sounds of the cetaceans and a 360-degree camera shows them below the surface. The company observes without chasing the animals, removes marine litter when it comes across it and collects photos for photo-ID research. Depending on the day, Atlantic spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, beaked whales, Bryde's whales or sperm whales may be seen. Guiding is in English, Spanish and French, and trips are booked online. WeWhale also runs a conservation programme on Lanzarote.
