Volunteering in a whale projects in Tenerife

Location:
Tenerife is known as the largest of the Canary Islands and belongs to Spain. Your accommodation here is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean in the village of Arona. The towns of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas are just 15 minutes away by bus or cab, while the capital Santa Cruz is an hour away. Los Cristianos has a bus station that gives you easy and cheap access to the whole island.
The island offers a wide range of great experiences that you should definitely try out. A trip to the Teide National Park is definitely one of them, as you can also hike up the island's landmark, the Teide volcano. The park's landscape is also very impressive and is a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. Tenerife also has many beautiful natural pools where you can swim and many beaches. There are also many bars, cafes and restaurants where you can linger. There is also a water park. However, the highlight of Tenerife is the carnival. It lasts two weeks, attracts numerous visitors from all over the world and is one of the most famous in the world. If you are on the island at the right time, don't miss out on this festival full of fun, joy and happy people!

A typical day:
Your day starts at 7 a.m. with breakfast. You head out to the boats at around 8 a.m. It is very important to be on time, otherwise the boat will set off without you. You then spend the day on the boat, observing whales and dolphins and taking notes. You leave the boat between 5 and 7 pm and enter the data from your daily sightings into the PC, after which you go to dinner, which takes place between 7 and 7:30 pm. The feedback meeting begins between 8 and 8:30 p.m., where the day's events are discussed and mistakes and successes are reviewed. Last but not least, we tidy up.
If you prefer to work on a farm or at an animal rescue station instead of whale watching research, the day will run a little differently. If you are on the cleaning rotation, this is done from 9 to 10 am. There is a morning meeting at 10 am, then you work on your project until 5:30 pm, lunch break is from 1 pm to 2 pm, the evening program remains the same. You have weekends off.
