Great experience

Reviews Monte Cristo Catamaran Tours

"Great experience! We saw some whales on the day but sadly not dolphins. The staff was so nice and friendly which made the experience really cosy. Highly recommend doing this in Tenerife!"

Unforgettable experience in Tenerife

"I really loved the boat and the whole service from pick up to return was impeccable. Small group of people and generous on drinks,snacks and the Atlantic didn't fail to deliver whales and dolphins. These guys give their best... Michael the captain(I forgot his name) and Sisco are real care takers."

Just Brilliant!

"Fantastic trip. Highly recommended if you want to see whales and dolphins in their natural environment. The crew were brilliant, very informative and overall exceptional value."

Great adventure

"It was a really well planed trip, and the service was great! The staff was very friendly, and service minded. I would highly recommend you to go in this adventure!!"

Expectations absolutely fulfilled

"Excellent Trip, full recommendation. Whales are almost guaranteed, Tapas are fine and if they say "drinks included" they really mean it 🙂 We had a great time on the katamaran, finished by a nice stop in a small bay to go swimming and snorkeling. Michael and Andres were really polite and had a lot to tell about the whales and their habits."

"Excellent crew and captain; fast, comfortable boat, care taken over local wildlife, and we saw both dolphins (two, bottle-nosed) and whales (LOTS, pilot!) A real bonus to our short break on Costa Adeje. Definitely worth the money - highly recommended."

Loved this !

"Just back from the most amazing day! From the Initial pick up to the drop off, it was superb ! The guys couldn’t have been any nicer . We saw the best array of whales and dolphins , with the crew pointing them all us! Enjoyed a couple of glasses of cava and a swim in the sea when we anchored up! I want to do it all again tomorrow "

Outstanding service

"As you scroll through trip advisor you see quite a few companies with a solid wall of five star reviews, in the case of the Monte Cristo the reason is plain and simple. They make it their business to deliver a 1st class experience. The only reason I gave them five stars is that there wasn’t an option to give 6."

What a great day with the dolphins

"Our family went out on a trip with this amazing catamaran. The staff was great, really nice guys! We really liked the food too! Not like other boats just a sandwich. We enjoyed it a lot! One of the best trips we had on Tenerife."

Best time to see whales in Tenerife

One of the most common questions people ask is, when is the best time to whale watch in Tenerife ? Thanks to its privileged location, it’s possible to see cetaceans in Tenerife any time of year, especially common dolphins and pilot whales, since they primarily live in the Canarian waters.

However, for a greater variety of species, the best time to see whales in Tenerife is during the winter and spring months. This is when most dolphins and whales migrate through the waters, particularly baleen whales, blue whales, and minke whales.

So, while you’ll have the most success if you go whale watching in Tenerife in the winter or spring, you should have no problem seeing cetaceans throughout the year.

Where to see whales in Tenerife

Another frequent question is where to go whale watching in Tenerife . While Tenerife is the best Canary Island to take a whale-watching trip, most tours depart from the southern part of the island, specifically from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje. That said, there are a few tours that depart from the ports of Los Gigantes or Los Cristianos.

Whale watching in south Tenerife

If you go whale-watching in south Tenerife , you’ll probably depart from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje. This is one of the most touristy parts of the island since Siam Park and Playa de Las Américas , two of the best places to see in south Tenerife , are located here. You can also find lots of charming villages, delicious restaurants, and cozy hotels here, so it’s one of the most popular areas to stay in Tenerife .

Yacht cruise, tenerife dolphin boat trip

In Costa Adeje, you’ll find these whale-watching tours:

  • Eco-cruise with dolphin and whale watching in Tenerife

Los Cristianos isn’t far from Costa Adeje, and while it offers a whale-watching tour , it isn’t that popular.

Whale watching in Los Gigantes, Tenerife

Another option is to go whale watching in Los Gigantes, Tenerife . This area is considered one of the best places to see dolphins and whales since the odds are much higher. In fact, some dolphin tours in Tenerife depart from Costa Adeje and head towards Los Gigantes. Besides the whale and dolphin sightings, the cliffs in the background are gorgeous.

This is the best whale-watching tour you can take from Los Gigantes.

Types of whales in Tenerife

The Canary Islands are one of the prime locations to see whales and dolphins throughout the year. Moreover, these are the most common types of whales in Tenerife , as well as their characteristics so you can easily identify them.

Dolphins in Tenerife

If you want to see dolphins in Tenerife , you should know that the most common species, which you can see year-round, is the bottlenose dolphin .

Common dolphins, dolphin and whale watching in tenerife

This species is usually found a short distance from the coastline, making it one of the easiest to see. Bottlenose dolphins are typically 8 to 10 feet long and live in groups of 10-30 individuals. They’re dark gray in color, although their undersides tend to be lighter.

There are other types of dolphins in Tenerife, including the Atlantic spotted dolphin , whose body is covered in small specks. You may also see the rough-toothed dolphin , which has serrated teeth and an elongated skull, or the striped dolphin , which has a bluish color with gray stripes. Finally, the common dolphin has a yellowish coloration on its sides and is also found in Tenerife.

All these species are less common or seasonal, so depending on when you visit, you may see one or more of them.

Pilot whales in Tenerife

It’s very easy to see pilot whales in Tenerife , so keep your eyes peeled. They can reach up to 16 feet long and typically weigh between 1 and 2 tons. Pilot whales actually belong to the dolphin family, although they’re considered whales because of their large size.

One of the most striking features of the pilot whale is its rounded head, which has a small beak and a curved mouth. These cetaceans are black in color but have a gray spot behind the dorsal fin.

Pilot whales, whale watching in tenerife

You can also see a type of gray pilot whale, known as Risso’s dolphin . This species differs from the pilot whale in that it has a darker color and it’s smaller, weighing between 660 lbs. and 1,320 lbs.

Sperm whales in Tenerife

If you’re lucky, you may see a sperm whale in Tenerife. While they’re seen sporadically, they’re very beautiful, with a large head and striated skin. Sperm whales are large, impressive creatures, measuring 36 to 60 feet and weighing between 15 and 45 tons.

Orcas in Tenerife

Seeing orcas in Tenerife is a bit trickier, but not impossible. These cetaceans can measure up to 30 feet long and weigh up to 12,000 lbs. Orcas are easily identifiable thanks to their black backs and white underbellies, as well as the white parts around their eyes.

While it’s rare to see killer whales in Tenerife , it’s easier to see false killer whales. This type of cetacean can reach a length of up to 20 feet and weigh up to 3,300 lbs. They usually live in pods of 10-50 individuals.

Other whales in Tenerife

In addition to all the above species, you can see several other creatures on a whale watching tour in Tenerife , specifically the tropical fin whale, the bowhead whale, and the northern Atlantic right whale. There are some rarer species out there too, such as Fraser’s dolphin, the humpback whale, the beaked whale, or the pygmy sperm whale.

Pilot whale, whales watching tenerife

Last but not least, you can also see sea turtles and a wide variety of fish in the Canarian waters. For this reason, I recommend booking a whale tour in Tenerife that includes a chance to snorkel, like this excursion .

I hope this guide helped you find your perfect whale watching tour in Tenerife ! I know whichever tour you choose, you’ll fully enjoy it, as it’s one of the most incredible experiences.

Happy whale-watching in Tenerife !

Whale Watching FAQ

What types of whales and dolphins can i see in tenerife.

In Tenerife, you can often spot bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. For whales, pilot whales are a common sighting year-round, and with some luck, you might see sperm whales.

Can I swim with dolphins during the whale watching tours?

No, swimming with dolphins isn’t possible as they are wild animals. The tours focus on observing them respectfully without disturbing their natural habitat.

What should I bring to a Tenerife whale watching tour?

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, binoculars (optional), and motion sickness medication if prone to seasickness. Drinks are usually included, but stay hydrated.

Are there any whale-sighting guarantees on these tours?

Yes, Club Canary offers a whale-sighting guarantee on certain trips, like the Atlantic Star Boat, ensuring the best possible experience.

What are the discounts available for whale watching in Tenerife?

Club Canary offers up to -30% online discounts on popular boat trips like Atlantic Star, Kailani, Opera 60, and more.

When is the best time to book a whale watching tour in Tenerife?

Book early, especially for small group tours or specific dates. Boats can be fully booked days or weeks in advance, especially during high season.

What happens if the weather is bad on my booked tour day or if I need to cancel?

Club Canary provides flexible cancellations with 24 to 48-hour policies for most boats, allowing free rescheduling or cancellation. In case of unsafe weather, choose a full refund or another day.

What is the best place to book whale watching in Tenerife?

Club Canary is an excellent choice for booking whale watching trips due to its wide selection of tours, extensive customer reviews, and exceptional service. They not only offer competitive pricing but also a best price guarantee, often providing rates that are lower than booking directly with the boat operators themselves.

Is it true that whales pull squid to the surface, causing their heads to explode?

No, this is a myth. Both Sperm Whales and Pilot Whales, which are commonly seen in the Canary Islands, dive deep to hunt squid, their preferred prey. These whales are well-adapted to the high-pressure environment of the deep sea, just like the squid they hunt. The notion that a squid’s head would explode due to pressure changes when brought to the surface is not accurate. Typically, these whales consume their prey at depth, rather than bringing them to the surface.

Tenerife Whale Watching Season

The Tenerife whale watching season typically runs from late December through April. During this time, various species of whales and dolphins can be seen off the coast of the island, including pilot whales, sperm whales, and bottlenose dolphins. The peak Tenerife whale watching season is usually in January and February, when the largest number of whales can be seen. However, it’s important to note that the exact timing of the whale watching season in Tenerife can vary from year to year depending on a variety of factors such as weather conditions and migration patterns of the whales.

Whales in Tenerife

Tenerife is known for its diverse population of whales and dolphins. Some of the most common species of whales you may encounter when you book whale watching excursions in Tenerife with Club Canary are: Pilot whales, Sperm whales, Fin whales and Humpback whales. The biggest chances you have of seeing during your Tenerife boat trip are pilot whales and with some luck the sperm whales we will tell you more about them below.

Pilot whales

The most famous whale species that you can encounter year-round near Tenerife are the pilot whales . Pilot whales are often spotted in large groups and can grow up to about six and a half meters and have a life span of around 45 years. The favorite snacks of the pilot whales around the Canary Islands are giant squids, which they often catch at depths of over 300 meters. The main danger for pilot whales around the Canary Islands are large boats like ferries that cannot change their track and killer whales. Orcas usually pass by the Canary Islands several times a year for a short period and prey on infant pilot whales.

Pilot whales family which you can spot during a Tenerife whale watching trip

Sperm whales

One amazing sight for your eye to encounter are sperm whales . These whales are not often spotted on whale watching excursions in Tenerife, but the chances of seeing them are somewhere around 8%. Sperm whales can grow up to 16 meters long. Like pilot whales, sperm whales hunt giant squid. They are said to be natural enemies of each other, and you often see scars on the sperm whales because of a fight with the squid. The greatest danger to sperm whales around the Canary Islands is ferry traffic and orcas. Although the adult sperm whales can defend themselves well, the calves are vulnerable until they are big enough. Another interesting fact is that in the past, pilot whales have also been found to have attacked sperm whales and shown aggressive behavior.

Bottlenose Dolphin jumping which you can spot during a Tenerife boat trip

Atlantic Spotted Dolphin

The Atlantic spotted dolphin is very similar to the bottlenose dolphin, but can be distinguished from it by the tiny spots that appear on its skin as an adult.
