Whale Wise Eco Tours

Whale Wise Eco Tours is the ultimate sustainable choice for whale watching. From creating their hybrid self-sufficient boat complete with solar-powered electric engines to joining carbon-neutral programmes to offset their impact – they are trailblazers when it comes to eco-tourism.

You will be welcomed by a dedicated team with passionate marine biologists focusing on the development of responsible whale watching practices. The guides engage tourists in learning about the diverse marine life in the Canary Islands. Their work even contributed to the creation of Europe’s first ‘Whale Heritage Site‘ in the waters of Tenerife and La Gomera.

What makes Whale Wise Eco Tours one of the best sustainable whale watching tours?

Locals know best: When it comes to insider knowledge, locals are the best source of information. Mercedes, founder of Whale Wise Eco Tours, travels in her boat daily and therefore knows the stretch of the ocean like the back of her hand.
The ocean is a sacred space: Whale Wise Eco Tours treasure this stretch of sea and do their best to make sure that it remains a sanctuary for whales, dolphins and other sea life who feel at home in the Canarian waters.
Support local businesses: All the money invested in the whale watching tours goes into furthering the research of these mammals, maintaining the high sustainable standards of the tour as well as promoting the work undertaken.

Best whale watching tour in Tenerife!

The tour with Whale Wise is hands down the best whale watching experience I have had so far! They only allow up to 10 passengers which makes the activity feel more private and exclusive. You can tell that Mercedes is very passionate about her profession and she blew my mind with her knowledge about the cetaceans. But it doesn’t stop there – sustainability is in Whale Wise’s DNA as they provide their guests with plastic-free, healthy snacks and serve tea and coffee in reusable cups. If you want to go whale watching, this will truly be the best one you can find!

Our tour guide received us friendly and always took care of the well-being of everyone. You could feel the passion with which he explained everything. The detailed and understandable explanations were very instructive and the group size was perfect. Respect and protection of the environment and animals is very important to them, for example garbage was taken out of the sea during the tour. I also loved that photos were taken by the guide so you could really enjoy the moment while still capturing memories. All in all, I can highly recommend Whale Wise Eco Tours!

Very clean boat with friendly and welcoming staff. We had an interesting and very detailed explanation about whales, dolphins and marine flora, with a tour guide who conveyed enthusiasm and interest in preserving this underwater world. Sustainability and respect for the animals are at the heart of this tour as the boat has a quiet, electric motor that doesn’t disturb the animals. Thank you for this great tour, you are the best! And I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience without disturbing the wildlife.
