Internationally Certified Whale Watching in Tenerife

At BIOSEAN we are incredibly proud to announce that we have received the certification for responsible whale and dolphin watching from the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA), the only international label for whale and dolphin watching organisations. With this recognition, we become one of the few organisations with Internationally Certified Whale Watching in Tenerife.

World Cetacean Alliance Certification

Responsible cetacean watching certificationThe WCA is the only international organisation that sets global standards for the whale and dolphin watching industry. Our WCA certification sets us apart from others in this industry because it demonstrates that we go the extra mile to protect our cetaceans. This label is only awarded to whale and dolphin watching organisations that ‘operate to the highest standards of care for local wildlife, sustainability and customer experience‘. We are honoured to be recognised by the WCA for our commitment to marine life!

At BIOSEAN, we strive to create a Biosean responsible whale watching in Tenerifewonderful whale and dolphin watching experience, not only for our guests but also for our business partners in the field of dolphins and whales. We work hard every day to maintain the highest standards of care for marine life, sustainability and our customers’ experience. And now we have been internationally recognised for our efforts! Here is our ongoing commitment to the environment and its creatures.

BIOSEAN — Responsible and Sustainable

Cetacean photo-identification in TenerifeOur commitment to marine life extends from the sea to the land. While out on the ocean, we strictly adhere to the guidelines established by the WCA and the Spanish government to protect our wildlife — never approaching animals within 100 m, operating safely and always from a non-threatening angle. We also collect important data on local wildlife for use in research projects. Our photo-identified cetacean fins are even sent to local organisations to contribute to photo-identification catalogues.
