Marine Conservation Volunteer Program in Lanzarote, Spain

This was a wonderful and meaningful experience. The entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their work. I loved the respectful way we observed cetaceans, using a quiet, eco-friendly electric motor that didn’t disturb them. I felt lucky to contribute, helping a bit on the boat and with client briefings and I came away with a deeper understanding of these amazing animals. A truly rewarding opportunity!

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.

This program was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Having the chance to see cetaceans up close in their natural habitat while contributing to marine conservation efforts was both inspiring and rewarding. The beauty of Lanzarote, with its incredible scenery and the breathtaking sunsets we enjoyed from the boat, made it even more special. The program is perfect for those who are passionate about marine life and eager to make a difference. I learned so much about cetaceans, marine ecosystems, and conservation work, as well as how to work effectively with a dedicated team. Gonzalo and Silvia were amazing to work with—they were knowledgeable, helpful, and always eager to share their expertise. I do want to highlight that this is not a program for people looking for a guided vacation. You need to be motivated, proactive, and ready to contribute. The staff are there to teach and guide you, but it’s up to you to take initiative and make the most of the experience. With that mindset, this program is truly one of a kind and absolutely worth it!
