Volunteers will have a minimum two days on the whale watching boats and the option of two days of activities, which can also be at weekends. The rest of the week can be either on the whale watching boats, helping our research teams in their work, taking up further activities or simply chilling.

Once you have booked onto the Volunteer Programme we will send you an in-depth Induction Pack.
Volunteers will work from three main bases with numerous options for further experience.
  1. On the whale watching boats working as research guides three days per week
  2. In the research room processing, analysing and interpreting data.
  3. In the Whale & Dolphin Information Centre in Puerto Colon, at the heart of the islands whale watching industry, interacting with the whale watching boats, tourists and the island’s tourism industry.

The Boats

The AWF works with 8 different tourist whale watching boats from three different ports
  • Las Galletas
  • Puerto Colon
  • Los Gigantes

There are a variety of boats from a small 15 person yacht to a large 250 person catamaran. The range of vessels gives the volunteers fantastic experiences and memories but all volunteers end up having their favourite boat!

The Research Room

The Research Room is in the main house in Arona. This is where you will be inducted on your arrival and where you will process all the data that you have collected whist out on the boats. If you are coming as an intern this is where you will spend a lot of time!

It is also where the nightly meetings are conducted.
