Our Tenerife Volunteering Programme will give you the perfect opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures and gain valuable experience in conservation as you spend your days researching whale and dolphin behaviour as well as raising awareness of the importance of marine conservation, globally.
There are two key volunteer tasks on the whale watching boats:
Research
Guiding on the whale watching boats is only one element of the volunteer experience with the AWdF, taking between 2-4 days of each week depending on each individual volunteer’s level of interest. Other elements include:
Activities
We are keen that our volunteers get the most out of their experience with us and to this end we have organised a wide range of heavily discounted activities that can be combined with their work on the boats. All activities are ethical in so far as they are organised through local professional providers with whom we have enjoyed a long relationship based on mutual trust and respect.
The activities on the link below give an idea of the range of possibilities available. We have many tourism students volunteer with the AWdF to help develop local ecotourism activities and volunteer participation is one way in which we can help support the activity providers.The AWdF’s ecotourism team will guide you on any aspect of each of the listed activities.
Project Contribution
In addition to working on the whale watching boats and getting involved in various activities, we expect ALL volunteers to contribute either as individuals or in small teams to an aspect of our work through getting involved in a project of particular interest to them.
