MARINE LIFE OF TRANQUIL WATERS
Visit the Resident Whales and Dolphins in the South Coast Of Tenerife onboard the Bahriyeli
The only boat in Spain that collaborates directly with Sea Shepherd UK
Collaborating with Sea Shepherd Bahriyeli invites you to an unforgettable experience on a two or three hour sail to visit Tenerife’s resident Pilot Whales and Dolphins in their own natural environment.
During the sail you will be able to see the breath taking south coast of Tenerife, Mount Teide and also the chance of seeing many different species of whales and dolphins that are passing by on their migration route including Sperm Whales, Fin Whales, turtles, many different species of dolphins, Jelly Fish and marine Birds.
On board the experienced crew will be able to identify and explain what you have seen on your cruise. The Bahriyeli will give you an unforgettable experience with these gentle majestic creatures, as they do not chase or bother them. They themselves often come close to the boat as we respect them totally.
Their other excursion for 3 hours is the same the only difference being lunch, drinks and swimming is included.
Bahriyeli is the only boat with a Marine Biologist Guide on Board !
They do not use throw away plastic cups on board to try and save plastics entering the ocean with the wind when left. You buy a cup for 1 euro, they use that during the whole trip and then take it with them.
On board, guests will be given a fully loaded chat full of information regarding whatever species they have seen, problems whales and dolphins are facing around the world, including the Faroe Islands and the Cove, and also some sad facts about captivity.
The Crew, all care and are passionate about marine wildlife, it’s not just a job it’s a passion, who never get tired of seeing our spectacular wildlife here in Tenerife.
Cetaceans in the South-West coast of Tenerife
The southern coast of Tenerife is a privileged place for watching whales in the wild as there are permanent pods of dolphins in the surrounding waters year round.. Tenerife has become the top European destination in terms of the number of people that have seen whales in the wild.
You can find up to 21 different species in Tenerife´s waters; from the colossal blue whale to the feared killer whale.
Pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins have settled off the south west coast of Tenerife and have become permanent inhabitants: the food supply, which is abundant, the tranquil waters, the good climate and quality of crystal-clear waters , have created a paradise and ideal setting for theses marine mammals. Enjoy!
