What's the difference between dolphin watching and whale watching?

Dolphin watching tours focus on the resident bottlenose and Atlantic spotted dolphins that live in Canary Islands waters year-round. Dolphins are often more active and playful than whales, frequently approaching boats and bow-riding.

How long is a dolphin watching tour?

Most dolphin watching tours last 2 to 3 hours. Dolphin sightings are extremely common, with success rates above 95% in Canary Islands waters.
