Eco Boat
Esiel is a one of its kind in the whale watching industry. A custom made hybrid boat, it’s designed to minimise the impact on noise and contamination to the animals and the ocean. We are currently working on even further improvements to ensure a completely noise free tour.
To ensure the real feeling of connecting with the majestic cetaceans in our zone, the boat has the highest standard hydrophone in its sector. Come on board and feel the spirit of pilot whales, dolphins and many more transient species.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT WHALES OR DOLPHINS WILL I SEE?
The South West coast of Tenerife is home to short finned pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins, which are the most expected species our tours encounter. Nonetheless, there are 31 cetacean species recorded in the Canary Islands, and 23 in the area of our tours, so it is not uncommon to see pods of numerous oceanic dolphins jumping all over the place, or solitary giants like baleen whales or sperm whales. If we are very lucky, we might get to see shy beaked whales, or majestic orcas. Every day is different and full of surprises!
