Ecological whale watching in Tenerife in a small group
Overview
We depart from dock 4 of Puerto Colón, we will set sail in search of cetaceans, we will navigate in the Teno-Rasca special conservation area and up to a distance of 3 miles from the coast, reaching a depth of one thousand meters. We will go in search of the Calderón tropical, one of the main resident species of Tenerife. From the moment we leave the pier very close to the coast, we can already find dolphins, turtles and seabirds. With luck, we may also see some of the migratory cetaceans that frequent the Canary Islands.
