Tenerife, Canary Islands
Volunteer in Tenerife
Join dolphin and whale conservation projects on the megadiverse island of Tenerife.
Few areas match the expanse of sea stretching between the island of Tenerife and the coast of Morocco for diving, swimming and viewing marine megafauna. As a marine conservation volunteer at our research station in Tenerife, you’ll get to spend three days a week on boats – with the sun on your skin and in the company of dolphins and whales.

Ethical engagement
