Beskrivning
One of the best places in Europe to observe whales and dolphins, like Sperm Whale, Short-finned Pilot Whale, Bryde's Whale and many species of dolphin. Most agencies depart from the harbour of Tazacorte on the western side of the island. These trips take you along the shore and a bit further off the coast and is great to see typical shore- and seabird species along the way.
Most common are the large flocks of Gulnäbbad lira that can be seen mostly in the vicinity of whale and dolphin pods. spetsstjärtad petrell tend to hang around in small numbers. Other species that can be seen, depending on the season of course, are större lira, mindre lira, makaronesisk lira and sometimes balearisk lira, but you need a bit of luck for that one. Skuas might be possible too.
Terns can also be seen, but mainly close to shore, like Kentsk tärna and fisktärna. Also large flocks of gull hang around in the harbour from where you'll depart, like medelhavstrut and silltrut.

You can observe most of these species from a vantage point from land, but you'll need a telescope for that. These whale watching trips are great to see these species up close. Many agencies depart from the harbour and you'll have a great array of possibile agencies to choose from.
