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.

There's no need to contact us to ask if the outing will be held due to bad weather. If we have to cancel, rest assured, you'll be the first to know. Should we have to cancel the outing due to bad weather, either the outing will be postponed to a date of your choice, or you will be refunded the full amount of your payment, at your convenience.

However, such cancellations are no longer possible from 72 h before the departure time of the expedition, except on presentation of a medical certificate issued by a doctor for the person cancelling the reservation, or in the event of force majeure, accident or other. 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.
