Fuerteventura whale and dolphin watching

Fuerteventura whale and dolphin watching happens off the south coast: bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales live off Jandía all year round. We offer three trips that go out to find them, all with hotel pickup and guides in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish: the speedboat from Morro Jable (an hour and a half, the most direct), the pirate boat with lunch (4 hours) and the glass-bottom boat from Jandía (4 hours). Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Which whales and dolphins you see in Fuerteventura

The regulars are bottlenose dolphins and short-finned pilot whales, which live in the deep water close to the Jandía coast; in season other passing species can appear. The boats leave from the south because the seabed drops away quickly there and the animals come closer to shore.

Which trip to choose

The speedboat is for people who are only after the whales and dolphins: an hour and a half, fast, with a good chance of getting close. The pirate boat and the glass-bottom boat turn the watching into a 4-hour half day with lunch on board, a swim stop and, on the second, a view of the seabed through the hull: better with children or if you get seasick easily.

Practical information

  • All three pick up from hotels in the Jandía area and can be cancelled free up to 24 hours before.
  • Sightings are not guaranteed: these are wild animals, though on this coast they are very common.
  • Bring sun cream, a hat and a light jacket; binoculars if you have them.
  • We do not yet offer whale watching trips from the north of the island.
