Eco Whale Watching On The White Tenerife
This is one of the more special ways to see whales and dolphins in Tenerife. The White Tenerife is a genuinely eco-friendly catamaran: it runs on solar panels, uses wind power when the weather allows, and has low-fuel engines built to cut its carbon footprint. You sail the south coast through the protected Teno-Rasca marine area, past beaches like Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, with a chance to spot the Teide on a clear day.
Hear Them, Not Just See Them
The boat has an underwater sound system wired to speakers on deck, so you can hear the clicks and whistles of whales and dolphins as you watch, a genuinely different experience you will not get on most boats. The crew shares live commentary about the marine species that live in the protected area, in several languages.
Booked Direct Is The Same Price, But You Get More Here
Book with Club Canary and you get the same price as booking direct, plus a free collectible souvenir card, reserve-now-pay-later, and our Best Price Guarantee. And if the whales and dolphins do not show, you get a free reschedule, subject to availability.
The Two Trips & Price
Both trips are shared, eco, and include food, drinks and a swim stop. The 5-hour adds a lunch and reaches Los Gigantes and Masca.
The Eco Boat & Sound System
The White Tenerife stands out because it is built to be kind to the sea it explores. It runs on solar panels, sails on wind power when conditions allow, and uses low-fuel, battery-backed engines to cut its carbon footprint. It has been certified as eco-friendly by an external agency, so the green credentials are real, not just a label.
The other standout is the underwater sound system: a hydrophone linked to deck speakers, so you hear whales and dolphins live while you watch them. For other ways to get on the water, browse all whale watching trips in Tenerife.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
If you want whale watching with a bit more meaning, this is a strong pick. The White Tenerife is a genuinely eco boat, solar-powered and certified, and the underwater sound system is the part people remember: hearing whales and dolphins through the deck speakers is something most trips just cannot do. It is calm, friendly, and well run, which is why it reviews so well.
Simple guidance: the 3-hour trip is perfect for a relaxed morning or afternoon with a swim, and the 5-hour is the one to pick if you want lunch on board and the Los Gigantes cliffs and Masca Bay. Sightings are common but never promised, and if none show, you get a free reschedule.
Eco, calm, and something a bit different. Reserve now, pay on the day, and grab your souvenir card.
