Skarby Oceanu
Wyspy Kanaryjskie mają bardzo zróżnicowaną i bogatą gatunkowo faunę morską. Teneryfa o powierzchni około 2050 km2 jest największą ze wszystkich ośmiu wysp. W rzeczywistości Teneryfa ma 19 z 79 gatunków rozmieszczonych na całym świecie, w tym stabilną kolonię delfinów i grindwali z około 250 okazów. Jedną z głównych atrakcji w południowej części wyspy, jest obecność delfinów i grindwali w pobliżu portu Los Cristianos. Wiele z tych zwierząt można obserwować między Teneryfą a La Gomerą, gdzie morze osiąga głębokość około 3000 metrów.
