Whale and Dolphin Watching on Tenerife’s Glass Bottom Catamaran

This whale and dolphin watching tour on Tenerife’s south coast suits nature lovers seeking a calm, respectful wildlife experience aboard a stable catamaran.

Description

Discover Tenerife’s unique glass bottom catamaran with exclusive underwater viewing, offering a rare view of marine life both above and below the water surface. Tenerife hosts resident pilot whales and dolphins, providing some of the highest sighting rates in Europe. Our captains hold advanced licenses, allowing us to operate further offshore and encounter larger whale species when present.

Experience whales and dolphins in their natural habitat with Tenerife’s Vision underwater catamaran. Every encounter varies, creating memorable moments. Enjoy panoramic views of Tenerife’s south coast, Mount Teide, and observe marine life through the catamaran’s underwater viewing area for a different perspective.

Trusted by over 13,800 guest reviews, our government-certified guides and spacious, stable vessel offer one of Tenerife’s most established whale and dolphin tours.

Our original No-Chase policy means wildlife is never pursued or pressured. Whales and dolphins choose to approach the boat naturally, ensuring more authentic encounters while protecting these animals.

No-Chase Policy Explained

  • We never chase or speed after animals.
  • We do not change course to intercept their travel direction.
  • We never box in, encircle, or pressure them to surface or interact.
  • We avoid following animals that are resting, feeding, or caring for young.
  • All observations are on the animals’ terms for genuine encounters.

Conservation Partnership

We collaborate with Neptune’s Pirates UK and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK, organisations recognized for their protection of marine life and ocean ecosystems. This partnership reflects our commitment to zero tolerance for exploitation, prioritising protection over profit.

Every ticket contributes directly to marine conservation projects protecting whales, dolphins, and their habitats.

Responsible Tourism

Our approach prioritizes animal welfare, honest education, and responsible tourism practices. We limit our operations to ensure sustainable whale and dolphin experiences, supporting the health of the ocean ecosystem.
