Greet the
whales

If you dream of watching whales in their natural environment, use your trip to the Canary Islands to get close to these creatures. These island are visited by 23 different species of cetaceans, such as sperm whales, whales and up to six types of dolphins.

We recommend an excusion on a boat with the "Blue Boat" symbol, that guarantees the well being of these animals. Ah, and remember that feeding and swimming with them is not permitted.
