What To Expect

Come and enjoy on board the White Dreams the numerous species of cetaceans that congregate in the waters of the Canary Islands. The main objective is the observation and monitoring of endemic species in their natural habitat. During the 2-hour whale watching, you will be able to enjoy the wonderful coves of the island of Tenerife. Also, during the trip we will offer drinks on board (soft drinks, beers and waters) and a selection of fruit.
We have the Blue Boat certification that allows us to legally develop whale watching activities, while helping to protect marine life, promote conservation and environmental awareness, respect marine protected areas and support scientific research.

* Exmaran does not guarantee the sighting of cetaceans during the entire course of the excursion. This depends on the weather conditions and the animals in the wild.
