Highlights
12-day research expedition to observe whales and dolphins in the Canary Islands—aboard the Gara Itsasoa.
This is what your adventure trip looks like
Canary Islands Whale & Dolphin Research Expedition – Aboard the Gara Itsasoa.
Twelve days on the open sea, seeing the ocean through the eyes of a scientist. This is not a whale-watching tour, but a scientific campaign by SECAC & Gara Itsasoa that provides real data on the whales and dolphins of the Canary Islands. You’ll sail around six Canary Islands—four of which are marine protected areas—not as a spectator, but as part of the team collecting the data.
