Whale Watching tours (Playa de las Americas) Tenerife is one of the best destinations in the world for watching whales and dolphins. In other places, such as Hawaii or Vancouver, you can only see whales for 3 months of the year, and a very low percentage of the tours succeed at finding these fascinating sea mammals. In Tenerife South, there is a colony of over 500 pilot whales living permanently a few miles from the coast, and +99% of the tours are successful at finding them – any time of the year!
