Join our team in Tenerife to gain hands-on experience in responsible whale watching and cetacean fieldwork.

Volunteers join our crew during whale watching tours up to 6 days per week, depending on weather and sea conditions. Tasks may include cetacean searching, behavioral observations, data collection, fin photo-ID, assisting with tours, and basic boat maintenance.

When tours cannot operate due to weather, volunteers help with photo-ID analysis and data organization from office.

This program is ideal for future whale watching guides, skippers, cetacean observers, photographers, or anyone interested in gaining practical experience at sea and contributing to cetacean data collection.

Work hours range from 3 to 8 hours per day. Minimum age is 18 years old and minimum stay is 2 weeks. Accommodation can be arranged upon request.

Previous interview required. We are looking for motivated, respectful, and hardworking volunteers eager to gain real field experience.

Please contact us for more information.
