A playful Pilot Whale watches the Whale Watchers.
Whale watching trip to see Whales and Dolphins near los Gigantes in Tenerife
The
Whales can often be found resting on the surface of
the water. With an in-depth knowledge of these wonderful
creatures the skilled captains of the Nashira Uno manoeuvre
the Nashira in order that all visitors are guaranteed
excellent photographic opportunities with the Whales.
From
time to time an inquisitive calf will approach the
boat in order to get a closer look at the passengers
of the Nashira. These moments of interaction allow
passengers to witness, first hand, the beauty and
simplicity of these incredible creatures. When feeling
in a particularly playful mood it has been known for
the younger animals to approach the boat and almost
lift their body out of the water for a closer look
at the passengers of the Nashira Uno, much to the
delight of the on-lookers. Throughout the course of
the year many other species are encountered in these
water's. Part of the excitement of the trips offered
by the Nashira Uno is that it is never known what
the passengers will see. It is almost impossible to
100% guarantee sightings of any of the 27 differing
cetacean species that either reside in or temporarily
use the water's of Los Gigantes as a "Pit-Stop"
before continuing their individual journeys to destinations
world wide. However, due to the importance of these
waters as breeding and feeding grounds, visitors to
the area have, at differing times of the year, encountered
species such as Sperm Whales, Blue Whales, Fin Whales,
Right Whales,
Minke
Whales and the hugely rare Blainvilles Toothed Whale.
So far as Dolphin species encountered by visitors
these include Striped Dolphins, Spotted Dolphins,
Risso's Dolphin, Rough Toothed Dolphins and of course
the resident Bottlenosed Dolphins.
