If your main goal in Tenerife is to spot whales and dolphins, then you don’t want to waste time on just any boat trip. The waters around the island are full of life, but not every tour gives you the same chance or comfort. That’s where the Atlantic Star stands out.
Unlike the big catamarans that pack in 50 to 100 people, the Atlantic Star takes a maximum of just 10 guests per trip. That means space, peace, and personal service, all while sailing in one of the best whale watching areas in the world.
The Whale Guarantee – Only With Club Canary
Here’s what makes this trip even more unique: the Whale Watching Guarantee. No other boat in Tenerife offers this option. Thanks to a special partnership, you can only add it when booking with Club Canary.
For just a small fee:
- If you don’t see whales or dolphins, you’ll get your money back (minus insurance).
- Or you can rebook another trip for free.
This guarantee shows the confidence in this trip and gives you complete peace of mind.
What Happens on the Trip
Each excursion lasts about 3 hours. First, the captain takes you out to spot whales and dolphins in their natural environment. Because the Atlantic Star is a small, quiet boat, it often gets closer to marine life than the big vessels.
After that, the boat anchors in a calm bay where you can swim or snorkel. Fresh sandwiches and unlimited drinks are included, making it the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

Great for Couples and Families
- Couples love the afternoon trips (12:30 or 15:30). They’re quieter, often just adults, and make for a romantic setting. Some even use it for proposals, though for something that special, we’d recommend a private charter so you have the boat all to yourselves.
- Families often prefer the 09:30 departure. The sea is calmer in the morning, kids are fresh and happy, and the crew usually engages with them to make it fun. Children aged 1–9 travel at a reduced rate, and babies under 1 year join free. Keep in mind that every person on board (including babies) counts towards the maximum capacity of 10 guests.
What Kind of Whales Can You See?
Tenerife is home to resident pilot whales and dolphins all year round, and depending on the season you might also see sperm whales, turtles, or even orcas. Curious to know more? Have a look at this guide to whale species in Tenerife.
