The Canary Islands, especially the area between Tenerife and La Gomera, form part of one of best Whale Watching destinations in the world. Here in the Atlantic Ocean you can experience the sight of lots of whales and dolphins in their natural habitat.
Throughout the entire year there is a 90 percent chance of observing a variety of marine mammals. This is mainly because the biodiversity here is extremely rich.
Pilot and beaked whales also quite often stay near the coast. Sometimes even sperm, finback, minke and sei whales can be seen. An exceptional highlight is the large group of long-finned pilot whales, which lives in the waters between Tennerife and Gomera.
The 6-7 metre long dwellers of the sea can be identified by their round dorsal fin and of course, by the spout, which produces an impressive fountain of water.
