Good to know

• This is a wildlife experience in the open ocean. Sightings of whales and dolphins are very common in Tenerife, but they can never be guaranteed, as the animals are wild and free. • The tour takes place in the Atlantic Ocean. Sea conditions may vary and can sometimes be choppy. If you are prone to seasickness, we strongly recommend taking precautions in advance. • The swim stop takes place near the coast at the end of the tour (15–20 minutes), only if weather and sea conditions allow, and always at the captain’s discretion. Swimming is optional. • For safety and animal welfare reasons, the route and duration may be adjusted depending on sea conditions or wildlife behaviour. • This experience is family-friendly, but parental supervision is required for children at all times. • Please arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure time. Late arrivals may result in missing the tour without refund.
