Highlights
- P.º Rincón del Puerto, 4 - Delve into the abundant aquatic fauna of Tenerife South with seasoned professionals. On each excursion, we prioritize the well-being of the wildlife by refraining from pursuing them to draw them nearer, which is unnecessary due to our longstanding rapport with these creatures. Our extensive experience has fostered a mutual trust with these splendid beings. With a deep understanding of the preservation challenges facing marine life and the ocean, we’ve partnered with Sea Shepherd UK, consistently contributing a portion of our ticket revenue to their cause (a unique practice among Spanish companies, reflecting our philosophy that the ocean’s gifts must be reciprocated).
Our expeditions do not include a swimming break, as we believe it detracts from the essential patience and time required to allow the whales to approach us of their own accord. Witnessing a whale, dolphin, or any other animal choose to draw near out of their own volition, driven by intelligence and curiosity, is a truly magnificent sight. We invite you to partake in an extraordinary journey to the habitat of the short-finned Pilot whale.

Additional Information
Animal conservation is an aspect we greatly emphasize on. Each day we spend at sea, we realize that it’s the crew and their attitude towards these splendid creatures that matter most and not the boat itself. Our Captains at Bahriyeli are licensed to sail more than 3 miles away from the port, a privilege vital for pursuing larger whales during their migration or encountering different types of dolphins, turtles and even sharks. Typically, we spot our regular Short-finned Pilot whales or our resident bottlenose dolphins almost every day. While we can’t guarantee a certain sight, we assure that our Captain will treat all marine life with respect. The sight of a whale or dolphin approaching our boat voluntarily provides an unparalleled, unforgettable experience. This is essentially a comprehensive whale and dolphin tour focusing on marine biodiversity.

So many whales and dolphins on show with the best crew! - Amazing 2hr trip! I am dead against Loro Parque and other so called 'conservation ' marine parks that force animals to do tricks in return for food. So when my 7yr old son wanted to see dolphins I booked these guys and it was the BEST excursion. Saw loads of dolphins and pilot whales. The dolphins were jumping up and racing the boat! Staff spoke numerous languages. Were very attentive and friendly- my oldest was seasick and they really helped. It was educational too. The boat had toilets and great inside and outside viewing decks with plenty room. The 2 hrs at sea were perfect amount of time They even told us when boarding that it would be choppy and that if we wanted to reschedule for a calmer day then they'd happily do that. 100% recommend!!

Great trip! - We - with kids 2 and 4 - joined the morning trip with tickets purchased online on the day before. All went smoothly.
We could see from a few meters a pilot whale family with an infant, and also been lucky enough that our boat’s been followed by a few bottlenose doplhins.
The ocean was not really wavy but the boat still shaked us. My little girl started to feel bad after 1,5 hours and unfortunately even throw it out… together some other kids on the trip.
The staff was really pro, handled the situation with care helpes as they could.
Highly recommended both from personal and nature point of view.

Whales everywhere! - What a great trip! We were probably only 20 minutes from shore when we saw our first pilot whales, then had loads of other sightings, including dolphins!
Crew were great, boat was comfortable and not too full and was one of the most successful whale watching trips i’ve done. Would thoroughly recommend and really good value for money - a lot cheaper than a number of other tours I looked at in Tenerife.

Learnt about cruel... - Learnt about cruel treatment of whales and dolphins and good work done by Sea Shepard and Dolphin project to protect these beautiful creatures! It was nice to be in a sailing boat and see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat where they rightfully belong.

Whale watching on a beautiful boat - Amazing whale watching with Captain Samantha and her knowledgeable crew. They made an effort to find pilot whales and succeeded beyond expectations. The sea offered a magical spectacle. We even saw a dolphin. Bring a warm sweater and windproof jacket. As well as camera and binoculars. We also appreciated the cooperation with Sea Shepherds.

Not giving refund - Asked four times to be refunded. Still no refund. I’ve WhatsApp’d my order number 3 times and actually went in to speak to the woman. No refund. Trying to get this refunded through my bank.

catastrophic - They promised us to see whales but we didn't see anything. Then we talked to the office and they told us they would refund part of the money we are still waiting for. The worst company you can find on the dock. We went on another boat another day and saw a lot of whales.

scam they keep your money - The worst service you can expect from an unprofessional company. I arrived at the port and they had canceled my trip. They told me they would give me the money and we are still waiting. The woman who served us was very rude and also wanted us to finish early so she could go smoke.
