Atlantic Eco Experience

The motor that pushes us is the use of the natural resources of the South of Tenerife Island to show an alternative way of tourist exploitation. We aim at generating a new sensation in the visitor with regard to their contact with the wildlife of our sea, minimizing the impact that our presence produces in their habitat. We firmly trust the need of generating knowledge first-hand in the visitor th

at awakes the desire of conservation of the natural heritage in our islands just as much as the place they come from.

-Methodology. The way we have of bringing the visitor closer to our coast's natural world is through a guided visit in our boat "El Papacho" along our coast, where the visitors will be able to see and know the most important touristic values of the South-western Coast of Tenerife Island. The tour will have a touristic-educational character. The visitor will be able to identify different species of cetaceans, birds, sea turtles, fish… that we will find in our journey. In order to do that, they will be in company of a biologist specialized in vertebrates who will be guiding the experience. Our boat "El Papacho" is equipped for transporting comfortably ten visitors per journey, what provides the visitor with a very individualized treatment. We also have the equipment needed for wildlife observation, detection and recording of submarine sounds, thus making us witnesses of the communication or ecolocalization of cetaceans. Hydrophone, subaquatic camera, computer, headphones…

We aim at offering the visitor the chance to get involved in an authentic marine environment research activity, minimizing the stress produced over the species studied to the maximum.

-Team. Our on-board team is composed of a captain that will steer the boat and a specialized biologist that will guide you in the educational experience through the different natural areas.
