Probably the name “bottlenose dolphin” may not say much, but what about Flipper, do you remember the series during your childhood? This is the same type of dolphin that you will have the opportunity to see on our boat trips.
But there are not only dolphins living in Canarian waters. Other permanent residents are our friends the pilot whales.
