I loved my time with WeWhale

by: Melanie Vogt - GermanyProgram: Lanzarote Marine Conservation Program

My experience with WeWhale was truly incredible and so much fun! It was rewarding to contribute in a meaningful way, even for a short time. The crew were amazing, welcoming, kind, and great to work with. I immediately felt comfortable in the accommodation, which made the whole experience even better. Spending time on the catamaran was both inspiring and almost meditative. Being out at sea, surrounded by nature, was a unique and peaceful experience. What stood out most was witnessing the impact on the tour visitors. It was amazing to see how deeply moved they were after the trip. You could tell it made them reflect on their actions and how they could contribute to marine conservation, even in small ways. I loved my time with WeWhale and wouldn’t hesitate to do the volunteer program again. It’s an experience I highly recommend to anyone looking to make a real difference while being part of something truly special!

I had an amazing time with the Wewhale team and other volunteers! Spending time at sea, learning about marine ecosystems, and sharing exciting sightings with guests exceeded my expectations. Seeing Risso’s dolphins and beaked whales was unforgettable. The team was welcoming, knowledgeable, and always helpful, making it an incredible two-week experience.
