Dolphin and whale watching in Gran Canaria with WeWhale: sustainability at its finest
Gran Canaria is much more than beaches and good weather. Its waters are home to one of the most amazing natural spectacles in the world: dolphin and whale watching in the wild. But not all excursions are the same. If you’re looking for an ethical, quiet, and environmentally respectful experience, WeWhale is the perfect choice for you.
What makes the WeWhale experience unique?
WeWhale operates with a clear mission: to transform the way we observe cetaceans in the ocean. Unlike traditional tours, their approach combines clean technology, environmental education, and absolute respect for marine wildlife.
Main differences:
- Collaboration with conservation projects: part of the profits are reinvested in marine protection.
- 100% electric boats: silent, emission-free, and vibration-free. This reduces impact on the animals and improves the quality of the experience.
- Marine biologist guides: they explain everything you see and answer your questions.
- Small groups: an intimate experience with no crowds.
- Ethical observation code: animals are neither chased nor fed. Their space and natural behavior are respected.
What species can you see in Gran Canaria?
The waters of Gran Canaria form part of a privileged biological corridor. More than 20 species of cetaceans can be observed here throughout the year, including:
- Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus): the most common, curious, and social species.
- Short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus): a regular resident.
- Pilot whales, fin whales, and even sperm whales, depending on the season.
- Sea turtles, seabirds, and occasionally manta rays and flying fish.
The experience becomes a living lesson in marine biodiversity in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean.
Departure point: Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria
WeWhale’s tours depart from the Puerto Base of Puerto Rico, in the south of the island. This location allows quick access to deep waters, where cetaceans are most frequently found.
Excursions usually last 2 to 3 hours and are adapted to sea conditions and wildlife presence.
