Before You Book
Will we definitely see dolphins?
No wildlife tour can guarantee a sighting, but Tenerife's south coast is one of the most consistent spots in Europe for year-round dolphin activity. The vast majority of departures result in sightings.
Is the tour suitable for young children?
Yes. Most dolphin tours are designed to be gentle, safe and family-friendly. If you have very young children, we can recommend the calmest and most suitable option when you book.
What should I bring?
Sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable clothing and a camera. If the tour includes a swim stop, bring a towel and swimwear. We confirm specific requirements before you book.
What is the difference between 2-hour and 3-hour tours?
More time at sea generally means more time following the dolphins and a more relaxed experience. The 3-hour option is popular for visitors who want to make the most of the outing.

Dolphin Watching Tenerife FAQ
Which dolphin species can I see in Tenerife?
Bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins are the most frequently spotted species on tours from South Tenerife. Short-finned pilot whales also share these waters and are often seen on the same routes.
Is dolphin watching available year-round in Tenerife?
Yes. Dolphin Watching Tenerife tours run throughout the year because the mild Atlantic climate and warm waters support a resident dolphin population off the south coast.
Can we see both dolphins and whales on the same tour?
Yes. Many tours encounter both bottlenose dolphins and short-finned pilot whales on the same route, since both species inhabit the same stretch of water off South Tenerife.
Is dolphin watching suitable for people who get seasick?
The boats are modern and relatively stable. Choose a calmer morning slot if seasickness is a concern, and let us know so we can suggest the most comfortable option for you.
