History
Tenerife, with its rich marine ecosystem, is one of the best locations in the world for whale and dolphin watching. The Bahriyeli cruise offers an exclusive, eco-friendly experience with a strict No-Chase Policy, ensuring the safety and well-being of the marine creatures. Unlike other tours, this cruise respects the natural behaviors of the animals, allowing you to observe them in their natural habitat without disturbing them. The Bahriyeli is one of the few vessels with two licenses for legal whale watching, enabling it to go beyond 3 miles from the port and reach the migration paths of larger whales.
Not only does this cruise give you a front-row seat to the incredible marine life, but it also supports sustainability. By choosing this tour, you’re contributing to marine conservation efforts, with part of the proceeds automatically donated to Neptunes Pirates UK charity, as well as Sea Shepherd UK. These partnerships help fund the protection and conservation of marine life, making every ticket purchase a step toward preserving the ocean’s biodiversity.

FAQ's
What is the No-Chase Policy?
The No-Chase Policy ensures that the whales and dolphins are not pursued or harassed during the cruise. We respect the natural behavior of these creatures and keep a safe distance. Our goal is to observe them in their natural environment, allowing them to move freely without interruption. This approach ensures an ethical and responsible whale-watching experience that prioritizes marine conservation.
How far out does the boat go?
Our yacht, Bahriyeli, is one of the few vessels in Tenerife authorized to go beyond 3 miles from the port, allowing us to reach the migratory routes of larger whales and dolphins. This extended reach increases the chances of spotting different species that are not commonly seen closer to shore. The boat’s high-grade navigational license allows us to safely venture further into the ocean where these magnificent creatures roam.
Will I see whales and dolphins on the tour?
While we can’t guarantee sightings, our cruise has an exceptionally high success rate of encountering whales and dolphins. The local waters are rich in marine life, and with the help of our expert crew and spotters, you’ll likely see pods of dolphins leaping or even migrating whales. We’ve designed the cruise to maximize your chances of these breathtaking encounters while respecting the animals’ natural behavior.
Is the boat suitable for families or children?
Yes, the Bahriyeli yacht is suitable for families and children of all ages. The boat is spacious with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the view, and the crew ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all passengers. Children will love seeing the dolphins and whales up close, and the boat’s inside salon offers protection from the sun or wind. It’s a great family activity!
What happens if the weather is bad?
In the event of poor weather conditions, the tour may be rescheduled or canceled for safety reasons. If your tour is canceled, you’ll be offered an alternative date or a full refund. The operator monitors weather conditions closely to ensure the best possible experience for all passengers. Always check the weather forecast before booking to avoid any surprises.
