Respectful whale watching from Tenerife (Canaries)

We are a global environmental organization dedicated to the protection of cetaceans through the listing of eco-responsible and respectful whale watching bases.

Increase your chances of spotting cetaceans with non-aggressive approaches by marine biologists and naturalists.

Unstressed animals are easier to observe, in a calm and respectful atmosphere.

By observing whales and dolphins with operators approved by Shelltone Whale Project, you are helping to protect them at no extra cost to you.

The Shelltone team's opinion

Our base in Tenerife is located in the best European spot for pilot whale watching. We sometimes observe up to six species of cetacean on a single trip. The scenery is breathtaking, as we sail beneath the immense cliffs of Los Gigantes, nature at its wildest.

The cetacean enthusiasts selected by the Shelltone team in Tenerife have chosen the RESPECT.

Traffic jams are not a cause of force majeure.
What should we bring and what should we wear on the trip?

Use lycra-type clothing to protect you from the sun, or biodegradable sun cream.

Take a bathing suit and towel, as we sometimes swim on the way back.

A sailboat is a boat that moves more than a zodiac or ferry, if you have the slightest doubt take Dramamine or Mercalm 20 min before boarding, Ginger confis works very well too. It can save the day 🙂

A cooler is on board with water, syrups and snacks. Tea and coffee available, after the meal you bring along.

The ship is entirely non-smoking, and a waterproof bag and portable ashtray are available for smoking on shore.
